Having Fun Sewing Decorative Stitches in a Circle

By

The decorative stitches on the Singer Legacy 340/300 sewing & embroidery machine are beautiful. I finally stitched out all 250 of the stitches and placed them in a binder for future reference. I also created my own circular stitch tool so I can stitch out large circles using the decorative stitches. I think they came out beautifully.


The circles on the white background are my first attempt, so you see that blue incomplete circle went wonky because I forgot to secure the pin tool. I used a mixture of polyester overlock and embroidery thread.


The second set of circles I wanted to stitch out large circle. The largest in this group is 8 inches all the way to 2 inches. I am using Simthread polyester embroidery thread. When I used Madeira Rayon the thread kept breaking. But I have zero issues with Simthread.
