Then I could just have a lot of fun stitching any number of rows I wanted on each of the strips.
I usually used matching rayon embroidery thread.
Then I had a pile of little squares fall on the floor from my table and I thought, hey I think these might work on this project.
And then I want to do some free motion flowers first with black embroidery thread, and then from the reverse side I will put some glittery serger thread in my extra bobbin case and reinforce the idea.
I think I like it so far.
Then I was ready for the edge finish. First a couple rows of zigzag with regular thread and then once more from the reverse side with the glittery heavy serger thread.
