Members kellyblues Posted March 19, 2017 Members Report Posted March 19, 2017 I can't seam to work out using a Serpentine on a rounded outside corner without ending up with a blob in the corner. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Quote Home of wayward and unwanted sewing machines, big and small. Too many to list.

Members Lincoln Posted March 19, 2017 Members Report Posted March 19, 2017 I always stamp first on the side with the shortest length. On a round corner that is the inside radius. The stamp on the outside will split the difference. Quote

I didn't see where anyone addressed a rounded corner exactly but I found a lot of that very useful. I could have missed it too. lol On 3/19/2017 at 10:30 PM, Lincoln said: I always stamp first on the side with the shortest length. On a round corner that is the inside radius.

Mark842 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 Another issue I see with your attempt is you are using a rounded corner on the outside edge and a 90% on the inside. This doesn't make it impossible but it does make it harder. Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted March 20, 2017 Contributing Member Report Posted March 20, 2017 I would draw/mark just a guide line, then stamp the design along it then go over the guide line, cutting or stamping it wide enough to cover up any overlap. Or if the fancy stamp is cheap enough and I was going to use it a lot I'd buy another and file its corners off to suit the curves just my $1 dollar [inflation] worth Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

It's 90 on the inside and rounded on the outside. I don't want to change the layout to the point of making both either 90 or rounded..

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying about a guide line ( my fault I'm sure ). As for the tool, It's a Barry King so I won't be filing it down. However that does give me an idea....

Members Thornton Posted March 20, 2017 Members Report Posted March 20, 2017 Look at the examples in the link. See how the legs of the stamp are touching the next one. And the overlap from inside of pattern to outside of pattern is greater than yours. Adjusting both of those should help with your blob problem. Quote
