Fun Fri ~ 5th Grade Graduation Card

It's that time of the year!

So time to have some Fri Fun making a card.
 

You do see scissors,

but small scrap pieces were hand torn as well.

Love the fun ragged edges.

The drawing on the left

 is the one I've used

 in the past for high school and college graduations. 

 I drew a smaller size on white fabric

 with a Frixon pen.

 No measuring involved. 

Just straight lines.

With such small pieces to applique,

I still have fun, believe it or not.

The stitch length is lowered.

This is where the automatic pressure foot comes in VERY handy.

I'm so lucky to have this feature.

Again, helping to make it fun.

 

When I stop stitching to turn,

I can keep my hands on the work,

while my pressure foot automatically raises 

just enough to let me turn the fabric.

Then when I press the peddle,

the pressure foot lowers and continues to stitch.

I don't have to have my right hand

 on the pressure foot lever all the time

for this tedious work.

I do wish for a foot peddle 

let's me tell the machine

to cut the thread

at which time this machine does completely

raise the pressure foot.

 and fun done.

 

 Hope everyone has or will

have fun at

 their events this late spring.
