Tiles

Came home from hand embroidery course tonight and went straight to my machine and did the Tiles FMQ.  I had real trouble keeping straight and even!  I actually dropped my feed dogs as I found it easier to control the fabric, but I still couldn't get an even stitch.....I know, practice, practice!  I had to keep turning the fabric as I still couldn't stitch backwards as I couldn't see behind the needle.

Here it is............

Quite like back!  
..........'til the next time.

    Have you used a variegated thread? It looks so pretty.

    This is so neat!! Proper tiles! Seeing behind the needle would make things so much easier, it is really hard. Practice for me too!
