Stitch-A-Long:
Featherweight Sampler
.jpg)
Create this beautiful cross-stitch sampler along with other stitching enthusiasts. It is a wonderful way to immortalize a vintage Singer Featherweight sewing machine with it's unique information.
​
Join me the designer, Margaret Lee, as we stitch along together one step at a time with useful tips and tricks to create this timeless treasure. From the first stitch to 'professionally' framing your own project.
​​​
This design is suitable for every level of stitcher from beginner to advanced. The quilt part of this design (located between the columns of thread spools) can be switched out with a different quilt pattern if desired. There are several designs in my Etsy Shop and more will become available soon.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please direct message me on Facebook or through my Etsy shop.
​
As each part of the stitch-A-Long is ready, I will post it below as a PDF so you can print it or save it somewhere for reference.
​
OK, I'll admit... it is faster and easier for me to make a pdf than arrange it on a webpage, than make adjustments for mobile devices.​​
