I find that I enjoy hand stitching more - the slower, meditative-ness (a word?)of it soothes me (unless my arthritis is acting up!). I enjoy seeing what you are doing with the machine stitch and your printed cloth.Carol Sloanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15430969173208142377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19729652.post-81604820073530304832013-08-18T10:41:51.486-04:002013-08-18T10:41:51.486-04:00Congrats for making this beauty!

Treat it like it is, a touch of rare and precious gilding to add a hint of special-ness and contrast to the work. The contrast in textures between machine and hand stitching are a good thing!Sea Air Arts - Deb Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061409458004716856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19729652.post-13420193744153039212013-08-12T09:14:38.688-04:002013-08-12T09:14:38.688-04:00The machine stitching does show and it does add a ...The machine stitching does show and it does add a layer of texture. Maybe soon you'll start to change the color of thread and use it to add to the design, too. But your hand stitching always has such character so I wouldn't give that up entirely. It's fun to have both in a piece.Regina B Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377568746998756667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19729652.post-81021710844359856712013-08-12T07:56:50.650-04:002013-08-12T07:56:50.650-04:00Love it!

And you can very successfully integrate hand AND machine stitching in the same pieces, depending on what you want to accomplish.

I would love to see you do both hand AND machine on your pieces! If you do just a little hand stitching with the machine stitching you might get done faster and the look that you love! I really LOVE this piece. The printing is fabulous and the quilting is great too.Lisa Chinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13678111345177959698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19729652.post-74861399340426744832013-08-11T18:05:55.326-04:002013-08-11T18:05:55.326-04:00This is the kind of stitching I do on my non-repre...This is the kind of stitching I do on my non-representational work.
