Updates to yesterday's post

The edge around yesterday's D4P border left much to be desired
if a satin stitch was the intent.
As I mentioned, my Viking Lily 555 has a dedicated Satin Stitch.
My Bernina 440 does not.

However, after consulting a not very clear or concise Bernina Instruction Book
I was able to do this lovely Satin Stitch this morning by shortening the length of the zig-zag stitch.

Here's my first attempt at Satin Stitch with my 440.


The design of these letters is taken from an
Amy Bradley design.
I cut the letters out last night and
Satin Stitched this far this morning before we went out for lunch.

I'll finish the last couple in a bit.

I noticed yesterday after I posted that the color on the front side of the D4P was off,
but let it pass.
however, some one [you know who you are] mentioned the color.
So here it is as it should have been posted yesterday.


I hope this appears closer to the original color.
However, the zig-zagged edges still aren't satin stitch.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After yesterday afternoon's high temp of 93 degrees F
the difference between it and
today's temp of 42 degrees F 
is over FIFTY DEGREES.
Every one I encountered while out and about today
were commenting 
" - - - it's sooooo cold ! - - - -"

Spring is still out there some where, but where ??????

  3. Looks good, but where did you go for lunch?
    My son has a friend that opened Denise's diner in Holt Summit. Good food! check it out. They have a facebook page too. Saturday night the special was Prime rib, king cut $14, ladies cut was smaller and cheaper, but I went for fried chicken and smoked pork chops on the buffet.

  4. It's here [spring]! It also brought with it lots of pollen and this morning a very loud thunderstorm that has made my power go on and off. I refuse to reset another clock until this is over!

  5. Thanks for posting another pic. It looks much better than the first one. I don't care if everyone knows "I'm the one". SS look good too. Wouldn't think they would vary so much from one brand to another, wouldya?
