I would try doing some on the machine and see if they sell as well as the hand sewn ones. They are both lovely.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811673280675153792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922046173955540379.post-11700860773519531712011-08-11T18:46:34.547+01:002011-08-11T18:46:34.547+01:00The flowers do seem to 'pop' more on the m...The flowers do seem to 'pop' more on the machine version but I like the raggedy windows on the hand sewn version. What about dropping the feet on your machine and sewing the windows free style, you might get the uneveness you're after. They're both lovely anyway.Caroline Lovis (Redneedle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05162141951460290920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922046173955540379.post-21796907701327168352011-08-11T14:41:31.737+01:002011-08-11T14:41:31.737+01:00mmmm I am going to sit on the fence and say I like...mmmm I am going to sit on the fence and say I like both for different reasons!

Often as I sit stitching I think how much quicker this would be to do on the machine, but then I get so much pleasure from hand sewing.<br />If you make them to sell then possibly the buyers would not notice the machine stitching as they probably look at it as a whole.<br />Have I gone on toooooo much?<br />Anyway, I love them they are beautiful.<br />Briony<br />xcrafty cat cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251582085392890533noreply@blogger.com
