stitching on paper

Ever since I learned how to turn a sewing machine on I have stitched on paper. I am sure in the awesome world of great seamstresses this is a big no no. Well, I can't help it. There is something about paper and thread together that make me very happy.

What started out as scary and frustrating, is not my favorite thing. I have broken a hundred needles, clogged my bobbin too many times to count. I break my thread on a daily basis and have to look up how to change the tension every. single. time. BUT I love it. I love it. I love it.

Enjoy the process. If you get frustrated, keep going. I promise one day you will love it.

i come from a long line of seamstresses...and have sown since i was a little girl. when my kids were little, i sewed them a lot of things- clothes, costumes- you name it; but, they grew up and now- i too truly love sewing on paper; almost more than on fabric.

love your piece! the colors and stitching are truly wonderful!!

I love that you showed using regular foot bc the stitches are more consistent. it looks great. I use a free motion foot. thanks for the tut.
