Machine and hand-stitching techniques on the
same project look great together,
as Lynn shows us here.
She chose embroidery
thread colours that
coordinated with
her page. Using the
Sew Easy Circle
Stitch tool by We
R Memory Keepers,
Lynn backstitched
several circles onto the
cork patterned paper.
She then zig-zag stitched down the center of a
pair of hearts, attaching them to two notched
pennants. Those pennants were machine-
stitched together, one after the other, to form
a banner, which she attached to her page with
brads.
the 3 t’s
mix
it up
The variety of circle sizes that
Lynn hand-stitched on her page
adds interest and motion.
