Hey Reader! Christmas is only 100 days away! I'm already behind. lol. I have some sewing machine suggestions below if you need/want a new one this holiday season or maybe you are wanting to get someone else one. On The BlogI have put together an overview of sewing machines types depending on what type of sewing you want to do. This is a great guide if you just want to know more about types of machines. I also put together a list of sewing machines for beginners. If you are like me you probably have a bunch of fabric. I put my tips for conquering your fabric stash. I asked a few weeks ago on social media what history project should I tackle next and Baby Lock was suggested. They are a fairly new company so I was able to document all of their sewing machines. I'm excited to be able to keep the database up to date for as long as humanly possible to preserve the history of the company. I think I'm going to tackle a couple of fabric companies next. Social MediaI missed my Tik Tok live this last week due to life stuff happening. This week is Instagram, if you click that link I'll send you a reminder, and we will be doing it on Thursday at 8:00 PM CST not Tuesday, again real life is throwing wrenches in my plan. I'm going to attempt a dual simulcast on Instagram and Facebook. I am able to upload Facebook videos to YouTube so you can watch our first one here https://youtu.be/tclHCfxOdO4 |

Reader WHAT'S UP?!?!? I have so much to tell you about that I am not going to bore you with anything. New On The Blog Long Arm Quilting Machines are something most quilters dream about. I did the research so you don't have to do as much. I still suggest going deeper on the ones that pique your curiosity. I redid my article on Aurifil thread. It now includes all of their thread sizes, uses, and needle suggestions. It also has a cost breakdown against the most popular 100% cotton threads on the...
What’s up buttercup? I’m enjoying the sunshine being around longer! The other day a friend shared a photo of a quilt that they had purchased the pattern of based on the photo. When my friend started looking at the photo it was easy to see it was an AI photo and not the actual quilt. While I use software when I’m designing patterns and may even use digital illustrations when teaching a method or a block rest assured if you see something of mine, it was sewn by either myself or by Paul.
