If you are then you will like this project. It's using the endless embroidery function on the BERNINA 830 machine. I'm using kona cotton fabric and it's been pretty quick to put together. The side panels take three hoopings with the mega hoop. The end panel is just a single hooping.
I think it's the perfect project to start preparing for Spring.
I've got 3 sides embroidered, one of them has had the stabilizer rinsed out and is currently drying. One of the long panels is all that's left to stitch. My goal is to have it stitched by Saturday so we'll see how that works out. Once I get them all embroidered and attached then I'll top stitch the edge of the panels all the way around to secure to the main panel.
I tell you, using Best Press by Ellen sure does make the kona cotton have a really nice feel to the fabric. Not stiff as if I used spray starch but firm and a wonderfully fresh smell- love the lilac flavor!

Oh Becky, that's just beautiful! And you're right about the Best Press...it's magic (and addicting).
Are there instructions for this project on the Bernina website somewhere? I looked and didn't find them. Thanks, it is beautiful.
