Today, I finished sewing the designs on the tops of my second pair...black and white inlay...the butterflies are caught in a windstorm (which accounts for their erratic flight pattern). Tex is gonna to cut the toe foxing out for me. This is probably a good idea...sometimes there is a trade-off between learning opportunities and ongoing morale. I'm gonna be staring at those toes a lot. Good stitching and cutting with that Singer 31-15 is gonna take some more practice. There is a direction to the one-row stitching...Tex says it'll be automatic someday. Right now I stare at it hard....curves towards the inside, start stiching from the bottom when the butterfliy is on the left...start from the top when the butterfly is on the right. Keep the roller-foot to the left of where you're headed. I have to figure it out every time.
