The March Embroidery Club Project is up! I am soooo pleased with this month's project and embroidery. These table linens are so fresh and pretty and perfect for spring and summer. The cutwork tulips turned out even better than I expected; and very versatile. You can use these designs in so many places. Of course, as table linens, but also for bed linens, towel trims and even clothing. I can even see the scallops edging a pretty sheer curtain or shade.
I used the Edge Joining foot when I made my samples, but Patricia from Sault Ste. Marie prefers the Left Edge Topstitch foot. She says,
I love the left edge topstitching foot for sewing down hems--no puckering, no shifting and straight even stitching everytime and I also really like the Heritage embroidery snips with their long, slender, curved blades--perfect for cutwork and snipping jump stitches. They are #140001046 "5 1/2" Machine Embroidery Scissors.
Getting ready for Easter brunch? Just add the napkin wrap.

I just completed the March project and the items are
ReplyDeleteabsolutely beautiful--have had a lot of positive feedback. I didn't use the serger to finish the edges on my placemats or banner, but did a double 1/4" hem instead using the left edge topstitch foot and the fabric
folding pen. Both worked great--I put the embroidery thread that I used for my designs on my bobbin so the hem stitching would match my embroidery. Looks really good.
I took design sc031d_04 and flipped it to the vertical position for my plus hoop embroiderers. Cannot test it for that hoop but it did work well in the midsize (100x170) hoop so I think it will be fine for the plus hoop. Enjoy.
