Bubbles?


I've taken some of my melted circles (see older posts) and sewn them together with free machine embroidery in metallic threads. To do this I pinned the circles between 2 pieces of water soluble stabiliser and then free machined circles between them. It's important to make sure all the stitching is joined up so it doesn't unravel when the stabiliser is washed away. I used my stitch regulator to get the stitches of even size but it didn't like the stabiliser much. The sensor had trouble "seeing" the clear stabiliser fabric and tended to go really fast.


I think they look a little like bubbles don't you?


I think I will layer them somehow so you can see through each layer to the one beneath.
