My first reading pillow--designs by Memories in Thread. If I was to do it again, I would space the designs a little closer together. I used flannels for their snuggle factor. This is for my little granddaughter.
My daughter has to wear a name tag that's on a reel badge, and she would like for me to make her some covers for the reel. It's about an inch in diameter. How can I reduce some of the gazillion designs I have to fit on a 1" patch? I have PE Design N
I have a Brother Innovis 4000D single needle machine, and I love it. I have toyed around with the idea of the snap hoops/magna hoop, but I really can't find out enough information to see if I would really use them. Does anyone know anything about them
I visited an embroidery site that showcases different designers and I clicked on one that had a huge discount. Oh my!! Even with a more than 60% discount, the designs were still too pricey! The original prices were almost $60!! Am I just a cheapskat
I learned something interesting today. I was surfing the net trying to learn about different machine needle brands, and one lady had posted about checking the eye for burrs inside it. She said if you don't have a magnifying glass, use a plastic bobbin
Many months ago, I had come across a blog with many embroidery designs on it, and it was in French. There were always interesting photos on it, which I enjoyed even though I didn't understand a word of the language. l Does anyone remember the name o
I used to buy stabilizer from my machine dealer. But circumstances have changed, and now I need to buy it online. I'm not happy about the reviews on some things on Amazon, so where is the best place to buy good stabilizer online? Thanks
If I made a flyer with some things I wanted to embroider on and sell, and included a picture, do I need to give credit for where the design came from? Or a notice at the bottom that all designs are used by permission? Thanks in advance.
Why is it that when I am about to use up a spool of thread that it seems to go on endlessly, but when I am about to use up a bobbin it ends about two inches before the end of the project??
I feel like such a grown-up! I cleaned my machine, took the top part apart and found a thread nest (and wondered when was the last time I used that color!), cleaned the bobbin, changed needle, and put it all back together. Here's the important part--no
I know I am very blessed to have two daughters who appreciate my sewing and embroidering gifts for them. But, whenever they need a gift, especially a shower gift, I am automatically expected to whip something up. I am happy to do it for them, but they
I have always used Brother bobbin thread for my Brother machine, and never really paid attention to it. Well, I realized that I have two spools, one 60wt and one 90wt I think I've only ever had 60wt before. Will I need to change any settings to use 9
Do any of you make wish lists of things you'd like to make with the designs you purchase? I feel wasteful. I have so many designs, and have good intentions of trying them, but then life happens and I get sidetracked and it seems like I never go back an
We lost our son in law this week to terminal liver failure. He and our oldest daughter had been married less than a year. He hid his illness from her with lies until the last two months when it grew to be too hard to hide. His illness was caused from
When you embroider on towels, do you use the same color bobbin thread as you do in the top? I usually try to do that, but today I totally forgot.
