Members Gezzer Posted May 29, 2023 Members Report Posted May 29, 2023 I saw a guy on you-tube do this and it turns out pretty good if you are looking for a ribbon border or such . Quote
AlZilla Posted May 29, 2023 Report Posted May 29, 2023 I've tried to do that and just can't get it to turn out. I think one of the members here did this or something similar about the time I joined up.

PastorBob Posted May 30, 2023 Report Posted May 30, 2023 Yeah, I saw that video. I took a stab at it, and for the life of me, couldn't get it. I will need to try again.

Members Gezzer Posted May 31, 2023 Author Members Report Posted May 31, 2023 @AlZilla and @PastorBob Seems to me the " trick " is the width of the lay - out lines . This one was .190 and worked , I did another with a full 1/4 inch ( .250 ) lay -out and it didn't turn out as well . Of course the size of beveler is going to make a difference too . 203 was what I used . Quote

I just went with what seemed right I too would like to know a secret tip to make it easier to plan.

I really like the ropes top and bottom of the right hand side on the bottom piece, too. Can't do that one, either.

You must have been something because that impression doesn't look at all like the stamp. The stamp looks more open than the cross bars in the impression.

CFM Frodo Posted August 16, 2023 CFM Report Posted August 16, 2023 Spacing your letters The traditional method is to set the letter stamp adjacent to the other stamp like this This in my opinion leaves a gap in between the letters I place the edge of the stamp next to letter look at the two examples upper is the traditional method lower is the way I do it the space is about a 1/16” (1.58mm). Which is not a lot but it looks better to me Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M
