How to pack for an Embroidery Class.

When you sign up for a class at Scrap & Sew, you should receive a supply list for the class.. One of the items listed is 'Sewing Supplies' and as you collect  the items from your sewing room, you may wonder "Exactly what do I need to bring?"  

Supplies may differ from one class to another and I will address in this blog post, what to bring if you are taking an embroidery class at Scrap & Sew with Adeline.

I will start first with the Sewing/Embroidery machine and all accessories.

Part 1 -Sewing/Embroidery machine plus:

1.  Specialty foot for your brand/machine.
2.  Multi Zigzag or Straight Stitch plate - most machines today suggest the straight stitch plate for the best performance.


3.  Embroidery hoops - make sure you have all 3 hoops that came with your machine.  I may suggest a extra hoop that will be ideal for the project and that will be listed separately.  The Quilters Hoop is one of the hoops that I often add to my supply lists.


4.  Accessory Tray - many of your machines have the accessory tray attached to your machine.  If not, it is always a good idea to bring the tray with you as there may be a time when you will need a sewing foot, the screwdriver etc.



Many of you have a suitcase system that came with your machine.  You should use this system as it is the safest way to travel with your machine and embroidery accessories.


Part 2- Tomorrow's post - What are 'Sewing Supplies?'.

Say Hello to August!

As the summer comes to an end and school starts up again, it should feel like fall, but not here in Florida!  My next workshop is reminiscent of our memories of summer with trips to the beach. The layouts will feature the Country Woods paper pack along with the Seaside Wishes stamp set and dies.   I will mix in the Cape Cod scrapbooking stamp set from Close to My Heart because it matches so well with the theme. Sun and fun activities are the themes of the August layouts, and the grandchildren had a great time at both St. Augustine and Clearwater beaches.

Day 12 of Christmas Stitching

Day 12 - A quick and easy gift idea is this napkin holder made from an 'in the hoop' quilt block. This is the Diva class for December and the class for Saturday has been changed to December 22nd.  So there is still time to sign up and finish it before Christmas. This napkin holder starts as a basic 8" block found in the Quilt selection of my icon.  I then added the Star #4 design from the Holiday selection of the machine.  I rotated it and centered it within the block. I love all of the selections in the Holiday category of the icon. You have already seen a number of them stitched up in previous posts these twelve days. I had a small class this morning but both of them finished their project and I even had time to take a picture. Jennifer G used a new gold metallic fabric as the  center design along with the flower B94 on the Epic. This size fits a package of store bought napkins perfectly. Ondrea D design is a combination of Basic Grey fa...

Welcome to mySewnet!

Congratulations on you new machine!  Even if you have owned it for a few years (like me) you have the internal software of a new machine!  The Epic 2 is new to the market but the Epic, Pfaff Creative icon and Viking Designer Embrillance 80 all have been updated in the last few weeks! The Pfaff update was released on April 6, 2020 while the Viking updates were at the end of February. The updates included: a. The ability to read .evp3- format of the mySewnet Library designs.  (This is huge and I am SEW excited!) b.  Support for the Pfaff Design Placement in the Sew Notice app.  Did you watch the FB live event? c.  Support for the NEW creative grand quilter's 260mm x 260mm hoop. If you need help with the update, please reach out to your dealer or you can leave a comment below and I will help you out. Today's topic will be how to get connected to mySewnet.  Once you are connected you will discover the excitement and ease of embroidery wi...
