I had my machine busy some today while I was cleaning drawers in my sewing area, and decided to try a couple different types of material for the cut work bookmark I had posted earlier. The right one is done on White organza that has a shimmer, the left was done on Pink organza. These did not turn out as nicely as I had hoped, but still useable. The center one is done on linen as I did before. It was not quite dry when I did the picture. Lesson learned with this one - make sure you have enough thread on the spool to complete it! But, I tried something different with this one. Since it takes a lot of WSS to do these projects I decided to make a template for this, and leave this hooped. I did this by making it out of cutaway stablizer, and left the portion for the design area open. I then stitched the scraps of WSS I had, along with the linen scrap I had onto the area around the cut out area of the template. Now I do not have to re-hoop each time to do these - as long as I do not need by large hoop anytime soon. Hope you enjoy seeing the differences.
