4D Flower

After completing this design for my store, I turned it into a small runner with some of the brilliant functions available on Lady Rehtaeh* (Lady Reh for short), my Brother Luminaire XP3.  Using the magnetic frame I bought on Temu made this a breeze.  That is, once I knew how to apply the functions.

All prepped and ready to go.  For this stage, I only wanted to quilt the dark brown background.

In order to achieve this, I scanned the quilt into the machine's design centre 

and remove the inside area so that quilting will only be done around the flower up until where the dark brown fabric starts.


For the border I used the built-in border quilt function where it breaks up the whole border to be quilted into sections.  All input needed was the X and Y measurements of the quilt as well as the width of the border.  The machine then shows you where to place the quilt in the frame to start stitching the border and when it is necessary to turn the quilt.  By again using the scan function with the projection function combined, you can move, mirror, rotate etc. the design until it fits completely where it should.  Making Childsplay of steps I previously found very tedious.

I then adjusted the foot's height to be able to add the other layers of the flower by using the button stitch function

and add the label to the back.
