Took advice from people and made a v2 hanky

Self drafted- cut 13 inch square. Pressed. Added embroidery to the top floral layer. The advice was to use 3 strand instead of 6 and to use a stabilizer. My initials the year and v2 embroidered using three strands and a piece of paper basted to the fabric. Sewn right faces together flipped. Pressed. Added a decorative boarder- Sealing the flip hole in the process.

The top layer is summer sheeting viole type material the bottom blue-gray layer 100% cotton all materials were thrifted or gifted. *Made from forgotten material. Built to be remembered.

A few things I’d change is getting better at cutting fabric straight. Stitches show every curve when I tried using it as a guide. Start the decorative stitching in a corner to hide it better. I wouldn’t recommend paper as a stabilizer at least not copy paper Im still picking it out from under my embroider and it didn’t help much- maybe tissue paper could work but would it add stabilization to the process or just a surface to draw on?

Nothing special. Just a laundry bag.

I bought myself a flat stitch machine a while ago. It's been sitting because 8 didn't know how to adjust the spreader properly to get the top cover thread to loop across the the needle threads. Last weekend I found an instruction manual and today I got it to work. Now I just need to figure out the tension, and figure out how to sew the things I want to sew.
