Chain Sew + Variations
For my part chain sew takes a whole lot of getting used to earlier than you turn out to be proud of the end result! That’s why enjoying round with completely different threads, thicknesses in addition to shapes helps you to determine the way to use a sew in addition to the way to ‘sew’ the sew! (If that is smart!)
