Exciting News about mySewnet Library!

I have been so excited to share this amazing information about this new feature for the Pfaff Creative icon machine.  The Epic 2, Epic and Designer Brilliance 80 had have this feature for a few months. There are so many questions flying around and I will do my best to answer them to the best of my knowledge. There are several ways to access your mySewnet library.  You can access it from your computer, phone and your tablet. Today I had  doctor appt. and they were a tad bit behind.  So i opened up the library and started to browse for some project ideas and saved a few favorites. When working with my laptop, I have found the quickest method to access it is to go to the Pfaff site and then click on the library and it open ups.  On my tablet and phone I have saved the library.mysewnet.com link in my favorites. Rather than have a long lengthly post, I am going to include several short videos as I do a tour around the site.  Not to worry, I am...

Week 3 & 4 QST Blocks are a Real Challenge

I have to tell you that week 3 & 4 almost did me in! I am almost finished and ready to trim the blocks but I had to take a break.One of the reasons that I do not love to quilt is I lose interest after doing a few blocks and I want to move on. And that is exactly what happened. I selected my fabrics for these strips and decided after I made a few that this would be my design. With this arrangement, the dark blue and red/black dots would be the red dots and blue checks as seen  in the sample above. Once I stitched and pressed the blocks, I watched the video and I am glad that I did.  She made an error herself and then shared her method of cutting an accurate 4.5" block using the Half Bloc ruler.   I would definitely recommend that you watch the video to help you with this week. Fast forward to 23:08 where she explains the correct method to cut the blocks. Several group members have completed their blocks and given a tons of tips that I wo...

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.
