a number of years ago i put together 3 5 inch blocks in a horizontal row and machine buttonhooled the patches in black thread. My idea was to concentrate on filling each patch with something and not worry about the seam treatments. It got put away and i took it out not more than a couple of weeks ago while rummaging in the FITS drawer....took it to work and have been working on it on the breaks. The other two blocks are fully embroidered but this one is what needed done.
This is a detail iimage of one of the patches...it was so much fun and i consider it the best patch on the block...I took crochet thread and stacked three running stitches and interlaced them..(ala the center of the guilloche stitch-)after that i did buttonholing on the interlaced threads and this is what i came up with.
