Autumn Pillow Project aka CQtober 2024 - Seam 19, Buttonhole Fans
#CQtober2024 Buttonhole stitch fans have been a nemesis of mine for a long time. But I've been practicing, and all that practice finally paid off! I'm really happy with how these turned out! The trick for me was to start them with a nearly straight buttonhole stitch art the beginning rather than using a lazy daisy to start. The effect was to make the base (or top in this orientation) nice and flat! To join, I slipped the needle and thread under the last stitch of the previous fan. I'm so happy with how they turned out! You can see the video of this fun little seam here! Happy stitching!
