New stuff - I love learning new stuff.
When I was knitting all the time, I kept moving through different techniques. Always eager to learn a new stitch or method.

When I started my Gram's table topper yesterday, I was excited to pull out my sewing machine's manual. I thought I would learn how to do a nice blanket stitch for some raw edge circles. I can't imagine my Gram enjoying the little strings that come off for a while with a soft raw edge.

After fiddling a bit and testing a bit I dove into my lovely Bliss layer cake and came away with some beautiful blocks. I really enjoyed the machines back and forth rhythm as I made my way around the circles.

Very nice blanket stitch and love the peek at bliss!
oh my goodness these look so great. i bet my machine does blanket stitch. i should check that out.
I've used that stitch too, but definitely not enough. Your circles look great!!!!
Looking great! What awesome control on the curved stitching!
I love my machine's decorative stitches, but it seems sometimes like I'm too impatient to wait for them! So much slower than straight stitch - but I need to learn to be patient to get those lovely results!
