Chapter 3 free machine experiments

Sample 1 - straight stitch, zig zag and some whipstitch, trying to make all the little squares visually different - though some have rather subtle differences - the heavy covering seems to mask the stitching technique sometimes.


Samples 2 and 3 - After miles of unpicking, discarding, oiling machine, defluffing, playing with tensions, I finally managed to produce some respectable cable stitch samples!




Sample 4 - whip stitch and corded whipstitch with variegated and metallic threads in the bobbin.

I like your whipstitch samples. I can appreciate your achievement after having just done this exercise myself!
