The “curl” is really just an abbreviated spiral. However, The Curl is much easier to sew and has so many variations and uses that everyone should have this pattern in their sewing quiver…
To practice the curl…I started with a series of one inch lines…These will be your guidelines or rails...
Starting on the left rail line, stitch upward and curl to the right… As you curl, leave a space between your stitching and the right rail. This space is needed for the next line of stitching…Stop at the X
After stopping at the X, trace to the outside of the curl-this time stitching to the right rail…
Trace back to the left rail and begin a new curl…
The left curl is similar…
Practice several rows of right and left curls…creating the Double Curl…
In the practice pieces below, I left a one inch space between the Double Curls…
Coming soon…variations on the curl and projects employing our newest pattern…I can’t wait!!!
