And Another SoupCon Hexagon

So far I'm enjoying the challenge to soften the edges of the hexagon stars that I designed for the Soupcon Challenge conducted by Karen at Faeries and Fibers. The outline stitch combined with the buttonhole and colonial knot stitches make a delicate lacy edge on this star ...

The embroidered outline pattern was figured out in a tracing...

I used a sheet of Press n Seal (Glad paper product for sealing food) and a Sharpie permanent ink pen to do this. The paper is transparent and sticks to the fabric while the pen marks do not smear. This is the process I use to figure out quilting patterns for large quilts, as well.
