Simple Sewing

I've been sewing for as long as I can remember so it's a little ironic that this is the first time I've sewn on a card. I'm not really liking it. My straight lines aren't so straight and my wonky lines aren't too impressive either. I guess I need to play with it a little more.  It's harder to sew on card stock than it is on fabric.

Pretty card! I love the "wonky" stitching. I know a gal who did wonky stitching on some of her card bases and straight stitching on some of the panels. Then she started doing wonky stitching on both and it looked fantastic! Now that's her "trademark" and you can immediately spot her work in any gallery. :)

But I completely love this card! The "wonky" stitching kinda implies an intentional lack of perfection, and if you don't point out the less-than-straight lines, I don't think anyone will notice!
Once I break out my machine to finally try card-stitching, I think I'll case this first thing!

I know EXACTLY what you mean! The paper seems to slip & slide when on the machine! BUT, I LOVE the wonky stitching! It gives it an "Artsy" touch!

I think your sewing looks great. I like it a little wonky instead of trying to make it perfectly straight. I can never get my sewing on card stock straight, so I just go with it.

It looks good to me Jackie, but as you say it is harder than on fabric and so unforgiving, you can't go back and unpick anything you don't like without leaving the tell-tale holes.
