Tues Tutorial Tip~ Making Sewing Machine Reference Charts

When you have to stop a project to decide on a special stitch and it's settings,

 you might as well take a few more minutes 

to grab scraps of fabric to

 make a Reference Chart. 

(I haven't had time to stop and make one

 for ALL the stitches

like I did for my other machines. 

Links below)

Usually scraps from the project

 are used so stitches come out exactly

 as they will be on the project. 

Most future projects

 will probably be of the same types of fabric: cotton or cotton blends,

and the same type of thread.

You might consider making the samples

 about the size of a large book page,

 so they can be put together 

and have an easy book to flip through. 

Or, maybe you just want to pile them

 in one stack on your nearby shelf?

 

On this part of the sample above,

 the name of the quilt the stitch was used is referred. 

This was the piece that started this sample.

 Then other variations were added for possible future use.

Thus becoming a "Reference Chart" for my Emmie 7 machine.

The note of App is the location on the machine for the stitch.

Hope this tip saves you a bit of time in the future.

 

Here are other Samplers for other machines

referred to by their given name:

*Sorry, I had to take timeout for a week

to have COVID.  Geesh, too busy for timeouts.

However, blessed not near as bad and hard as Delta 2 years ago

when it took Mr. G's life.

Still miss him so.
