Welcome to Windstock.net

with a fin to the left

Twenty-eight little black lines.

They went much faster than I expected, and I enjoyed sewing each one. It's like a game of art.

Since essentially i am just practicing here, there was little stress as to what the final result would be, so I made sure to have fun with it. Sewing black thread onto black fabric covers up most mistakes quite well, nonetheless there were many times that i would get the seam ripper and take the stitching back out to correct some errant thread attack.

Like I have said I am finding sewing quite enjoyable. They are way more things going on than you may think. There's all the settings like stitch length and width, and all that stuff, but there's also the cool pedal. Pressing down on the pedal makes the motor spin. It's like a gas pedal because it stiches faster the further down you press.

But fast isn't what is cool, what is cool is going slow. I like one or two stiches a second, ideally. At least for stuff like this. It's almost like you can speed up or slow down time. Keeping the machine going at the pace I want isn't always easy as it speeds away when starting up sometimes. But you can always grab the motor by hand and keep it from racing. You can even turn the motor by hand if you only want to put down a few stitches.

Here is a pic of a long line being attached. You can see the hole cut for the side fin. Also notice the scissor cut hemline folded under on the white strip. The pencil lines from tracing the pattern are very visible as well.
