This one is for you Esther (and anyone else that sews)
« on: February 11, 2007, 05:09:24 PM »
Remember I made myself a koi quilt last year I think it was.  I also made my neice one.  Well, my mom in law wanted one.  She started talking about doing this, and doing that so it would be reversible...I'm thinking arrrrg.......I'm a beginner.  So I finally decided to make what I want, if she don't like it she can either put it in a closet or give it away. 

Here's a couple pics of my first block.  I'm trying something new this time, trying to learn how to aplique.  I used a satin stitch around the cat, but I have a little bit of pucker around the ears.  Guess they will get better as I do them.  This is the first time I've even used a satin stitch on anything.  We'll see how it turns out.

The background is really a burnt orange.  Looks really bright in the pic.  Does it look alright, any pointers to keep it from puckering when I stitch around the ears?  Maybe my next one won't do it.

No, I don't sew but I had to look....  I tend to quickly skim through the narrative of posts with photos in order to look at the photo.  I did so with yours and read something about koi and I was left thinking your project was of a koi, which is natural considering the nature of this forum.  I quickly scrolled down to the photo and immediately thought it didn't look much like a koi....it looked like a cat.  I thought.... "Okay, perhaps the koi is looking up and has it's mouth open......no, no....it still looks like a cat..."  I then decided I better read the narrative more carefully....LOL.....  That's a lousy looking koi... but a very fine looking cat O0 :D

Ky Kim,
  Did you use Wonder Under or something similar on the back of the cat? If not, that would probably help with the puckering. I have always had very good luck when I used that when appliqueing.
It does look good though. Maybe even just ironing it really well will help flatten it out.

It's not uncommon for the fabric to pucker like that along the satin stitching. Be careful when you iron it depending what kind of thread you were using, so it doesn't melt. Did you launder the fabric before you began the project? The different fabrics may shrink differently and the thread won't. But I bet you already know that seeing you have done stuff like this before.

I think the cat is cute. I wish there was some way you could add a ball of yarn but freehand satin stitching around a circle would be a pain.

Ok, Esther you made me feel better.  I didn't think about what the iron would do to the thread, but I guess its alright it didn't melt.  My mother is saying use loom or something similar....that would be a big pain I would think.  She's never done aplique, or a quilt. 

Cath, yes I did use wonder under, under it.  It was nice and flat to begin with, just that left ear.  Hopefully the next one will be better.

Use a loom? Does she mean a hoop? Don't ask me how I know about the iron and thread melting!! If there is some way to ruin a project, I know it. I made triangular shaped curtain treatments for the side of the window out of upholstery fabric the same as my couch. It was a pain to do to get the measurements right and the fabric was stiff and heavy. I finally got it all perfect and done and went to iron in the pleats and ruined the fabric because my iron was too hot. And I didn't have enough fabric to do another. GRRR.

I really don't sew much in the way of clothes any more. Sometimes I make something for the girl grandchildren. Mostly the sewing I do is to alter my clothes, patch Dh's jeans, make curtains or something for the house, or do the machine embroidery. I used to make all my clothes and shorts and t-shirts for my boys but I can get clothes so cheap at Goodwill etc that it just doesn't pay to sew by the time I buy patterns and fabric.

I sewed 2 more, and they turned out fine.  No puckers at all.  I guess I just needed a pep talk from you all.  I'll just scrap the first one I did.
