    Since it is a test sort of; do 4 quadrants each in a different color. Then you can make a good decision in the future.

    I went with a bunch of different colours. I don't mind the switching of threads, I have a fancy machine LOL so it does all the cutting and threading for me.

    Here's what I have so far ... still not close to perfect, but I'm figuring out where my "issues" are ... I don't give myself enough room when I am holding the fabric and I end up bumping into my machine. Have to learn to make my sewing area smaller, or at least stop more often and adjust!

    I will probably end up removing the stitching on the sides of the square between the red flowers and see if I can do a better job!

    So I took out the white horrible sewing LOL and slowed down my machine, made my sewing area smaller, did a bit of embellishments, and here we go:

    That's beautiful! You did such a good job & I love the decorative stitches that you used from your machine. What is the brand of the chalk mechanical pencil that you use to mark your stencil with?

    Thanks! The writing is faded off the chalk pencil. But it is basically a mechanical pencil that has chalk for "lead" It's red and white!
