Recently I've had a signmaker friend make me a load of decorative stencils, ie diamonds, curved diamonds, elongated hexagons.Much cheaper than buying premade as the cost for seven different types was a seat repair, foam cutdown on a bike seat, armrest cover and a pack of beer!
While I was making up some test pieces I came across the problem of stitch lengths/amount of stitches per line not quite reaching the end. How do people overcome this?
Do you measure stitches before hand - what do you do if lines are different length.Small stitch length so it hides in better. With my machine if I move the reverse lever as the needle goes down I can shorten the stitch so would you do say 7 large stitches followed by a smaller stitch to fill in the gap(looks a little odd).
Not my work but this is the kind of pattern I mean.
