Doodling using the sewing machine
Inspired by the new doodle rage, Zentangles, I free motion machine quilted a stamped cloth (I used my own hand carved stamps) that didn't turn out so great. The first image is the completed quilting. I didn't much like it - way too busy.
This second image is the stitching on the back.

Belinda how could you not like this? Omg its so sexy! Would love to see you do more, how fun to have a machine like that :)
Okay, this is not me, but it does look good. Belinda
Robin, I use a regular home sewing machine. It's a 10ish year old Bernina. Put on a darning foot, lower the feed dogs and draw away.
I love the idea. I bought zentangle a few weeks ago. Simple idea, but I like the way they place it in an easy structure. I want to paint my doodle and then stitch into it more.
I love the 'other side' - black n gold - wow!! Makes me want to buy that quilting/darning foot now... right this minute!
Rosie, most sewing machines come with the darning foot, so check out the feet that came with your machine. My darning foot is a little ring, some are opened and some are rectanglar. The foot doesn't rest on the fabric like the regular feet do.
