Pin Wheel Stitching Comparison

Mikey shows and compares regular Pin Wheel stitching, jumbo pin wheel stitching and Swirl pin wheel stitching.

Okay, so we’re currently in Daniel’s office today and the choir is practicing. He’s also practicing on the organs, so you’re going to be hearing a lot of cutting in our organ music and probably people singing. So, that’s why that’s going on. I’ve demonstrated before, it’s the Pin Wheel Stitch and this is the jumbo Pin Wheel Stitch that we did about a week and a half ago. And the regular Pin Wheel Stitch that we’ve seen was a lot smaller and this was a really great example of the size difference between the two. So, if you want the proctor to go faster, you’re going to want to choose a jumbo and if you want it to be a little more thicker, a lot more condense, a lot more probably a lot more warmer, go with the regular size Pin Wheel stitching, right. So all right, that thinking about this the other day and I said, “Well, look at the ones right in the middle of this. It kind of like standing out like a sore thumb and there’s a way to actually condense the circles and push them together.” And so that three stitches is missing so then it just circle to circle to circle. So, I came with the new stitch and I'm calling it the Swirl Stitch. So, that’s the Pin Wheel. So, what we’ve done with the Swirl Stitch here is that we’ve taken out the gaps in between the circles, so you just jump from circle to circle to circle. And the essence doing like a swirling effect and it looks pretty sharp. And the difference between the two of these from the actual Pin Wheel is that there was actually seven on the top of the actual circle and seven underneath where on this stitch here, there’s actually nine on top and nine on the bottom, so it’s kind of like an 18 wheeler swirl, right. So, we also did that. So, I'm going to show you how to do that. So, this is the jumbo swirl stitch and then this is the regular swirl stitch here. And again, there’s nine on top and nine on the bottom with regular Pin Wheel with the seven and seven. So this is nine, there’s no gaps in the middle jumping from circle to circle to circle and this is not very hard to do. There is a technique difference that you’re going to have to pay attention too in order to really get a hold to this. And the reason, I guess to show you really quickly is that in a center of a circle that we have right in the center, right, when you coming along and creating the circle, you just can’t make the stitch, the center point of that actual circle right. So, what you got to do is every time you get to the end point, you have to then chain four and then start coming backward like this, so that is why this is different while on the regular Pin Wheel Stitch, we didn’t worry about that but because these are the way that they are and that there’s no gapping in between, you have to really pay attention with that. So, not a hard stitch but let’s get started and we’re going to start our first tutorial and it will be the regular size Pin or Swirl stitch.
