      YES! The stitching adds that edge you only get with embroidery! And is very functional to protect from fraying. This could totally be used as a work around for appliques in other garments.
      Blanket stitching those edges probably took days, but creating those flowers with a machine probably took at least a few hours for an industrial level textile embroidery machine with multiple needles and threads... and that's completely overlooking the hours it took someone to program a design into the machines software to create each flower. Hand made appliques are even more time consuming and thus more expensive. (Source: Worked in a sportswear factory as an intern, embroidery was the most time consuming option and the most expensive; Even for simple one color lettering. There's just so much prep and aftercare for embroidery that you never see!)
      For a hand made replica it's beyond impressive! I might try it one day! ;P

      @@withwendy This is where etsy becomes useful as a research tool.
      From the look of your machine check out for "low shank quilting / darning foot".
      Although, I've come across videos of Indian sewist just using a bare needle for machine embroidery. So you don't necessarily need a foot.
      The main thing is to lower the feet dogs. And have the fabric stretched out on an embroidery hoop.

    I honestly don't know what would be harder. Cutting and then embroidering the flowers, like you did. Or cutting them into smaller sections, blanket stitching each flower. And then, cutting it.
    You are hitting couture level work into the dress. Well done.
    The shirt is Stun-Ing. Love that the baby was tapping a work beat.
    If you're looking for more inspo, check out "Mutsu by Prospective Flow". That man can blanket stitch... and Sashiko...

    I’ve been hand embroidering flowers for a similarly inspired project. It’s slow slow work. I don’t blame you for going for painting.

    This is stunning! I've been wanting to have a dress like this for years. Hope to make it one day. Wish I had a friend who could draw lol.
    Going to start my first sewing project this week. I'm so scared but excited. You're so inspirational and such a lovely soul.
    Wishing you a safe, healthy, happy and smooth delivery!
