The best invention since sewing thread :-)

 P1030567

I have always liked the look of the button hole stitch, but not the process, as I have always found it hard and very time consuming to do the stitch so it will stay in place and look good, with no flipping over.

The day before yesterday I saw Lynette Anderson tutorial on her 2 step stitch and yesterday I had to try it out - with GREAT success :-)
Unit 8 on Butterfly Garden BOM, block #2 done.

P1030568
And joined to unit 9

P1030573

Unit 5 on block #2
Straight lines, curves and turns - no sweat - and I am convinced forever!
This is the stitch I will use from now on.

Thanks Lynette :-)
