We are going to learn the PADDED SATIN STITCH and the COUCHING STITCH and have some fun with a little owl, designed by Amber Vigil.
The Padded Satin Stitch covers areas of any shape and size, and the Couching Stitch “ties down” whatever you want to lie down, in our case some extra thread cushioning. Both stitches will add a nice 3-D effect to our owl design. I want to thank Amber Vigil for the inspiration for this cutie!
