Notes:

This a great way to make combinations of stitches and words. If you put labels on your projects and can create and save each line.

I like to slow machine and use start stop button. The constant speed helps to keep stitch formation consistent.

Mock Hand Stitch is tight tension to make the bobbin thread pull up to top. If you are breaking thread you may need to loosen the top tension.

Faux binding-After you have stitch words remove stabilizer. Add a one inch strip on each side of placemat the fabric for faux binding. Then layer batting behind top of placemat. Place backing, right side to right side of placemat and stitch all the way around but leaving about 3” opening for turning. Turn and poke corners with RNK turning tool. Pressing close up opening with your method of choice (not hand sewing)… Stitch in ditch around faux binding. Do your mock hand quilting stitch at this point. This is fast and folks won’t know its not a bound project.
