Precision Sewing





Getting back into sewing, I'm trying to push my comfort zone.
I saw this herringbone tutorial and was struck by the scrap combination separated by 1/4" white strips.





My new machine is up for the accuracy challenge.
The question is, Am I?



This could be called a mug rug or something - it's 11 1/2" square.
And dang it, it turned out square!



I thought to try out free motion quilting, but the design said no.
Instead, I used some thicker aurifil thread to stitch straight lines.
I didn't adjust the top tension (less) so I ended up with some tiny thread 'snafu's' on the back side but not enough to rip out.



All in all, a fun project.

Definitely, my colors of blues and greens.
