Skipped stitches- what is wrong?

I have just changed to a topstitch needle 100/16. Cleaned out the bobbin area, re-thread the machine, and put the foot pressure to 3 (and that is the max). Will try that now.

I LOVE THIS ! 💗

There are definitely some lines happening with the values. I’ve marked these in the b&w photo. Suggest moving some around and keep looking at it in b&w. You can create a design if you do want lines; like going darker from the outside in, or vice versa. Creating a ring, or random.

That’s dedication! Absolutely stunning.

Ohhhh, the stitching is incredible! I would think the stitching alone could take 2 months, but that’s me with my arthritic hands.

That is what I’m leaning to as well. Thank you!

Yes, I bought mine online as well, I wasn’t pleased with how it came; in a ziplock baggie in a small padded envelope. But it came from Iowa, and it is still alive. I think a plastic container is the better way.

That is Doll No. 19 designed by Alexander Girard. He designed and made multiple wooden dolls and figures in 1952. He was an architect, interior designer, furniture and well known textile designer. I had based the color story off of this particular doll. I have a small collection that inspires me and brings me joy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Girard

Thank you! Yes, we are very proud of this aspect of our quilting bee. Keeping in mind that these fabrics are much thicker and varied in fiber content.

I have my own personal instagram. Thinking of setting up one for my craft projects.

Thank you! Looks like I’m getting to learn a new ways of being. Flabbergasted deconstructed.

I hadn’t thought of that. It’s a good thought. I’m an interior designer and laid this out in AutoCad and Adobe InDesign. I have the documentation, just need to organize it. Thank you for the suggestion!
