But yes, it's a completely different pursuit. Watching the machine embroider can be mesmerizing, and it can be boring. Sometimes I do crossword puzzles while I'm babysitting the machine. </p> <p>thanks, Laura.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-diy-boho-cutoffs/page/2#post-1828383 Sun, 23 Jul 2017 18:09:03 +0000 Laura G 1828383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The embroidery is beautiful.

How does your speed with the machine compare to doing it by hand? I imagine the contemplative part of the craft vanishes? </p> <p>I have a beautiful embroidered blouse that has special memories for me. Unfortunately, it also has a rip. I've thought of trying to creatively repair the rip by extending the embroidery. If I start practicing now, I could give everyone dishtowels for Christmas, and maybe wear the blouse in the spring, lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-diy-boho-cutoffs/page/2#post-1820649 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 15:38:29 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1820649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Staysfit-- "only quilt"-- ha hahahaha!

What an overwhelming response! <br />Karie, I'd like to see your embroidery on your purse. That sounds challenging. <br />Thank you, Angie and Shevia, for the hair compliments, too. <br />Karen, unless you have a free-arm embroidery machine (which I don't), you have to rip open the inseams of the pants to lay the legs flat and embroider on them. And then sew them back up when you're done. The stitching won't look quite the same, because I don't know how you'd topstitch the inseam, once the outseams are sewn (and embroidered over) already. </p> <p>JAileen, maybe you tried the wrong color in this cardi? I'm imagining the style would work well for you. I wear it often with the front just hanging open. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-diy-boho-cutoffs/page/2#post-1820527 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 03:39:05 +0000 karen13 1820527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The close up of the embroidery is wonderful - so professional! Technical question - how do you embroider over the outseam with it being flat? Just carefully? or is there a special technique? Or does the machine handle embroidering "sideways" if that makes sense? I feel craftiness coming on and my family knows to take cover when that happens. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-diy-boho-cutoffs#post-1820522 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 02:52:49 +0000 Jaime 1820522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the embroidery you added and your hair looks magnificent! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-diy-boho-cutoffs#post-1820518 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 02:15:50 +0000 Aquamarine 1820518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! The shorts look fab! I'd go crazy if I had a machine that could do that. I can embroider by hand but I don't think I have the patience anymore (or the eyesight). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-diy-boho-cutoffs#post-1820498 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 22:51:35 +0000 Karie 1820498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your machine embroidered jeans! My machine doesn't do embroidery, but I've been thinking about doing some hand embroidery on an older pair of jeans. I did it on a denim purse, and I like the way it turned out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-diy-boho-cutoffs#post-1820463 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 20:55:05 +0000 Anonymous 1820463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so talented - not just your technical skill, but your ability to choose what will suit you well. &nbsp;Great shorts and outfit!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-diy-boho-cutoffs#post-1820462 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 20:47:07 +0000 Carla 1820462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE this whole outfit!
