Polka Dots

Another way of stitching down raw-edged circles is to stitch across the middles. On this coat the circles are transformed into polka dots all over the garment.

As you can see in the detail photo below, the stitching lines cross in the centers of the layered circles. And again you achieve textural interest from gentle fraying, but in this instance in the exposed quadrants of the circles.

Stitching lines also serve as quilting. The stitching is done in several colors of Sulky rayon thread.
