Superior University-April Project

April 30, 2012

I also participate in Superior Threads “Superior University“, a monthly project club that highlights different threads or techniques.This month’s project was to make a hedgehog pincushion using their King Tut thread to embellish as desired. It’s just the cutest thing! I decided to embellish mine by using Bernina’s “Tailor Tack” foot #7 to make the fuzzy guys on his back.

I really do like my Bernina feet and who but Bernina would make a foot just for tailor tacks? There is a bar in the middle of the foot and you basically zig zag over the bar and that forms the dimensional fuzzies you see here.

I added the dimple-after all, have you ever seen a blue hedgehog without a dimple??

    What a delightful creature. Thank you for sharing it with us it is just too cute. And weren’t you smart to use your tailor foot. I learn lots of wonderful things just reading your blog Jenny.

    Too cute! I haven’t made mine yet. Thanks for sharing this. I’ll have to see what kind of interesting feet I have with my Janome.
