You spin me right round...

Woven spider wheel stitch

...like a Woven Spider Wheel stitch, performed here beautifully by Olisa! Olisa made this awesome turntable embroidery for a recent Phat Quarter swap. For the volume knob she used lots of layers of the new-to-me Woven Spider Wheel Stitch. I found a tutorial for this stitch here and here.

Turntable Phat Quarter Music Swap for Jojobooster

The record is made with back stitches and looks so shiny that I almost miss my old LP records.

    I love vinyl and this is a gorgeous representation of the lovely, retro devices that allow us to enjoy it!

    I like this youtube video too, if you're the kind of person (like me) who needs a video to figure these things out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hkUSLILcs8

    That is awesome! I love the Woven Spider Wheel Stitch. I have only heard of the whipped spider stitch. All the wonderful possibilities.
