I know it has been a while since I last posted... It's odd working under the cloud of confidentiality! (LOL). Really, as luck would have it more magazine and web work came this way and I may not speak about it before it's published... That said here is a new free pattern, hot from Bernina's We All Sew. Have you ever wanted to try out one of your machine's decorative stitches? Or a wing needle? In order to explore Heirloom sewing, I wrote this simple pattern for a mitered Linen Table Topper for a wedding, a feast or simply a quite corner.
It is sewn from handkerchief linen and would look at home on a side table either round or square. I imagine it would be fabulous on the guest book table at a wedding.
I love Handkerchief Linen, it's transparent as well as stiff. You can crease it with your fingers to fold in hems. It was hard deciding which stitch to use as the B 580 has them in abundance but in the end the best is to try all your favorite on a scrap of linen with the wing linen in and decide which is showcased best under these specific circumstances.
