Let It Snow
Throughout the Year
When snow season is past, use satin-stitch building blocks to create other designs.
Set the machine for a line of short scallops. Begin stitching, spiraling around and outward and lengthening the scallop as you go, creating a rose. Finish with a satin-stitch dot at the center (A).
Repeat a button-attachment stitch four to six times in a circular pattern to create a tiny blossom or the center of a larger bloom (B).
Stitch eyelets to create flower buds or grapes (C).
Stitch one long, flat-edged scallop from a central point outward, then pivot and stitch another scallop back toward the center. The back-to-back scallops make a daisy petal; stitch several to create an entire flower (D).
Make summer bugs from satin-stitch motifs. Long diamonds form the body, and shapes with long stitch lengths create airy gossamer wings. Use a narrow zigzag for antennae, with slightly wider zigzag knobs at the tips. Use metallic or sparkly thread for added appeal (E).
