Yes - I set...Hi Marny - you may indeed be so bold! <br />Yes - I set it to zero, though I'm not sure you need to. I just found it made things easier. Might be interesting to try it without doing so. <br />Otherwise, it's free machining with the feed dogs down and embroidery foot on and using zig-zag set on 5 but with the stitch length on zero - or as low as you can get it. You then stitch with the fabric at right angles and manipulate it up and down so that you stitch over and over in lines of varying length as you work across the fabric. <br />About bobbin thread, I used white - cheaper than the Gutermann Sulky threads I was using on the top. It didn't show at all, though doing this means you can turn the fabric over and work from the back for a more subtle effect if you want to.<br />Hope this makes sense! Let me know if it doesn't MargaretCharlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-52991827122038592682013-05-11T20:10:39.147+01:002013-05-11T20:10:39.147+01:00This looks very exciting.

A couple of questions (if I may be so bold!!): do you mess about with the thread tension at all? and what do you do about choice of bobbin thread colour? Love your inspiration photo!!
