I used #8 perle cotton for the trick or treat words and 2 strands of embroidery floss for the "Happy Halloween" part as it was easier to do the little loops and tight curves with it. I DO love to embroider!<br><br>As for the buttonhole applique, I use the #33 stitch on my Viking 500. I have other machines but this one has the best spacing and stitch width, IMHO. I am not sure of the setting other than it says 2.0 mm and it indents 2.0 mm--two stitches and it swings left or right depending on whether I mirror it or not. It is easier for me to sew on the right of the section and let the stitch swing left. AND I actually discovered that I had an open toed applique foot in my bag of tricks---boy, did that make things easier. It gets easier with practice--and I count a lot--one, two, swing.Linda_Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12585942908710656032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24252963.post-28692393409669952482010-10-18T12:10:19.231-05:002010-10-18T12:10:19.231-05:00I was over on Pat's blog and saw her wall hang...I was over on Pat's blog and saw her wall hanging...you did an awesome job. One question...the writing. Did you run that through a printer or is that hand embroidered? Okay, I lied. Two questions...lol...what were your settings for the buttonhole stitching? I always have trouble with the small pieces and curves. Okay, I'm done...:)Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18136778387457332435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24252963.post-38968832239305580172010-10-18T11:26:10.845-05:002010-10-18T11:26:10.845-05:00what a cute wallhangingwhat a cute wallhangingJayTeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17321462033733839624noreply@blogger.com
