    Deborah Kluge posted an update 5 years, 5 months ago

    I have a question about the transition from the waffle stitch to the 8 pointed star. Because this is a new stitch to me, I took scrap fabric and I stitched the star so I was sure I understood the pattern before I began working it on my actual design. According to the diagram for the waffle stitch, the starting point for the 8 point star is…[Read more]

      I have looked at your star and my chart. I see the up 3 and up 4. The points of the star match up with the diagonals and the vertical and horizontal basting.

    I have competed the first layer and covered or affixed the folded edges. I found it interesting to see what happens to the different color threads when stitched. I see the need to either emphasize or de-emphasize colors so everything blends.
    I’m using a variety of fibers. Twisted silk and rayon work well with the perle cotton. Stranded floss d…[Read more]
