Carolina Star



I’ve given some thought to the appliqued block I posted two days ago. I’ve come to the conclusion that I made two major mistakes. One, I plowed ahead and made it without really knowing how to get my sewing machine to do a satin stitch. I’ve never taken a single class to learn how to use my Bernina, aside from watching YouTube videos to see how to wind a bobbin and thread the machine. Two, I used black thread to outline the purple petals and green leaves. If I’d used colors that blended better, the resulting block might have looked less like something my three-year-old grandson drew. I’m not ready to throw in the towel yet. There’s plenty of fabric left to have another go at it; after I’ve bought some matching green and purple thread. And after I’ve searched YouTube for videos on making a Bernina do a satin stitch.
