There's a ...Karin, these samples look amazing! There's a digital pantograph design this reminds me of called Wood Grain. Very interesting about bobbin winding speed. I usually do slow down my speed when winding bobbins on my domestic Berninas, but I don't remember when/why I started doing that. It may have been with monofilament, or maybe I was experimenting and noticing that the bobbin was filling more evenly at the reduced speed? But I've been doing this for over 15 years, so I would have started doing it with a much older model than what I'm sewing on now. My APQS machine came with an industrial "turbo" bobbin winder that is so fast, I could lose a finger if I'm not careful -- I thought it was fast to save time, but now I'm wondering whether that gizmo runs at such a high speed to produce more consistent tension as you've discovered?Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1429435155401920089.post-2236275840917248262021-04-20T10:45:22.519+09:302021-04-20T10:45:22.519+09:30Good practice.

I think the lines resemble actual wood grain and would say you've got that background down!
