Embellishment
Pattern #003, Stars & Hearts is one that you can use in many
ways for years to come. Enlarge the design below to meet your
needs or just choose the sections that appeal to you and use them
in the original size. From funky to conventional, there is bound
to be a star or heart just right for your every need.
The designs are suitable for applique, decorative outlining, OmniStitch fill-in or outlining, fabric painting and a host of other embellishing techniques.
If you’re appliqu�ing the hearts with a satin stitch, try this technique I saw on a $170 boutique vest. Add a few hand stitches over the satin stitches to add texture and dimension. Use embroidery floss, wool tapestry yarn or metallic threads to create large X’s extending over the top of the completed satin stitches. Another option, try a few straight stitches parallel to the satin stitches, leave a � " space and then apply a few more more stitches. You’ll love the results and the value of your custom garment goes up with every stitch!
