Of course you can also do fancier things by disengaging the feed dogs on the machine and doing a little freehand sewing, too.

How to make...............wall art with papers. Creating Silhouettes. Finding the Right Silhouette Design: To create your design printout, you must first find an image that will “work”. Simple black and white designs work best. You will also need to choose an image (or alter it) so there are no “floating” pieces of the image. Everything must attach. For instance, in the image shown, if the bird was in flight, with no part of it touching the branches, the bird would fall out of the design once it is cut out.
Since the bird is sitting on the branch, it becomes a solid piece of the design and can be used. Also, every part of the design must in some way be connected to the edges of the image. In the image shown, all of the branches, flowers, etc can be followed to the edges of the images with no interruptions. Flip the design so you wind up with a mirror image and print it out.
