Mrs.A Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I need your input here...what can you stitch inside the stem of a feather besides pearls or a wiggly line? My situation is not a feather but two lines that travel together like a ribbon...varying in width between them from about an inch to nothing where they cross over each other. Any ideas for me would be appreciated. Thanks, Nancy in Tucson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busy Quilting Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Ribbon Candy, curls,zigzags. I would look at the fabric for some visual clues in the prints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyLake Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 My approach would be to look at the style of the quilt and fabrics, and then develop a ribbon filler that coordinates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I think ribbon candy would probably work well. I also like just an echo design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
