/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Got the bernette b05 academy last week. No big projects yet, but so far it just werks!

Yesterday I fitted the free motion foot after some fiddling. I see a lot of possibilities for nice decorative embroidery with this one, might be a rabbit hole worth venturing down into.

I tried using an embroidery hoop to hold the fabric taut while using it, but since the fabric was a bit higher and more taut, the foot and needle's force was weakening the structural integrity of the material.

It looks like I need to either ditch the hoop or keep experimenting with it (or check a hoop with a lower profile). My first results which were without a hoop looked decent enough though.
