I have also seen a tip where you can string your own beads and then zigzag over them like the beads on string. You do have to have a special foot but it is worth buying since it saves so much time. You might consider that approach.Debra Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959081275116311853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14080112.post-1122994588833071972005-08-02T09:56:00.000-05:002005-08-02T09:56:00.000-05:00Thanks for the ideas.

After I posted last night I started thinking about using the green and white border as a first border too, so I'm going to try that and see how it looks. I'm going to add photos of my kids, which I made with transfers and some silver metal. I also have a mirror I want to include, and a small Buddha. The flowers will be made from yo-yos, buttons and beads. I'm also going to bead the Virgen. It makes my fingers hurt just to think about it.--BarbaraDebra Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959081275116311853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14080112.post-1122987945937091942005-08-02T08:05:00.000-05:002005-08-02T08:05:00.000-05:00here are my first impression thoughts:I prefer the...here are my first impression thoughts:<BR/><BR/>I prefer the first picture borders with the triangles pointing out--looks like her aura is projecting out.<BR/>Then also use the last large barkcloth print next to the triangles as a second border. I think it is a tad large without an introduction from another border. Unless you are doing a lot of embellishing, it may overpower your composition. Also, you want room for your vase flowers and they could rest on the triangular border without competing with the large barkcloth roses. <BR/>My least favorite is the photographic fabric-looks too new.<BR/><BR/>What kind of embellishments????huh??!!Debra Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959081275116311853noreply@blogger.com
