    Default I found it! I found it!!

    A few weeks ago, on one of the threads, someone mentioned a wavy line stitch. I was amazed by this (don't judge me and my ignorance). I was convinced that my mom's machine didn't have such a thing. Well, lo' and behold!! I found it today!! I love it!! I was making a larger receiving blanket for my grandbaby. She loves the one a friend of mine made for her but she's outgrowing it already. And I needed a decorative stitch to put around the edge so I was playing around with the wheels and there it was!! I just had to share!!

    It's amazing how we stop seeing our own things but never miss other peoples.

    It is always a good idea to try EVERY stitch on your machine...even sewing with a wider stitch width, or elongating to see what it looks like..and to remember to record somehow with the lengths and widths if you want to use it again.

    I made a stitch sampler of all my decorative stitches. It didn't take long to make and it has been a big time saver since.

    what a good idea! I keep a sewing/quilting journal of what I make and where I have sent them so this would be a good page for the back to have handy. would make for quicker decisions. I have a brother that was mom's. its gotta be over 15 years old cause she has been gone for 10 yrs. runs fine. I use a Denim and Silk Euro Pro that for me is great. Knock on wood, it's running good and I have had it since 2000 I think.

    Having a stitch sampler of decorative stitches sounds like a great idea! Hope it happens soon!
