cards and envelopes

I've been playing with my sewing machine, making cards and envelopes:




This one is my favorite: a stitch sampler card.  While the machine has diagrams of what each stitch should look like, they are actually very different when actually sewn; and some of the uilitarian stitches are actually the most decorative.  I dabbed a small spot of glue on the ends of each line of stitches (inside the card) to keep them from unraveling.

  3. thanks!

    I'm very excited to use the fancy stitches, too! I'll sometimes also use them as decoration on a hem.
