Join me tomorrow on Facebook Live at 1:00 CST for a tutorial on quilting small projects. Even though we’re talking small – table runner or smaller, the details make a difference. We’ll start with the base and look at tone-on-tone, large scale and micro prints. Then we’ll discuss the quilting designs – what to look for, how to multiply your stash, and how to achieve different moods with a variety of threads.
After we finalize those details, we’ll get to the nitty gritty of fabric prep, hooping and stitching. I hope you’ll watch and participate! That’s the beauty of Facebook Live! You can ask questions and get answers during the broadcast! What a world we’re living in today! See you tomorrow at 1:00 PM CST. Just log onto https://www.facebook.com/DesignsInMachineEmbroidery/

Baby Lock retailer Christopher Blakeman and I walked the vendor mall and chatted with each vendor. We gathered over $2000 in prizes including two Baby Lock sewing machines, the Zest. The Zest is a terrific machine for taking to class, teaching newbies how to sew and using as a back up when your embroidery machine is busy making beautiful embroidery.

This week, I’m off to Montana to fly fish in the great Glacier National Park. Whew! It’s been a busy summer so I’m really looking forward to a week of chilling out and tuning out. I’ll be back to our regularly-scheduled activities the week of September 9. In the meantime, watch the BLT Vendor Walk – hope you win!
Happy Thursday Embroidery Friends!

The fabric/stabilizer combo is the first step in producing professional results for your embroidery. Even seasoned embroiderers often need a reminder when it comes to selecting the right stabilizer for your fabric. Tomorrow, Deborah Jones and I will be chatting about stabilizer in Facebook Live at 1:00 CST.
We’ll look at a variety of samples – sweater knits, wool felt, cotton, moisture-wicking fabrics, denim and more! Deborah will ll share her 30+ years of commercial embroidery expertise and you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions during the live session.
We are doing our best to improve the Facebook live broadcasts and we appreciate your patience during this growth period. Hope to see you tomorrow, August 22, 2019 at 1:00 CST. Go to our page and watch: https://www.facebook.com/DesignsInMachineEmbroidery/

Patches on the moon? Not only did they go to the moon on Apollo 11 but they were made in Dallas, Texas! Not only made in Dallas, Texas but made in the factory owned by the father (Marvin Gardner) of my business partner (of 21 years) Gary Gardner. We have the patches to prove it along with a personally signed letter from President Richard Nixon. How cool is that?
Don’t believe me? Click on the video below to hear the whole story, see the history of making patches and learn just how many men have walked on the moon.
Since we showcase a special product in every Facebook Live, our brand new Hoop Mat is the week’s star. Click here to learn more about the mats. They’re on sale Now!
If you were alive in 1969, leave a comment telling us about your experience watching Neil Armstrong walk on the moon. Hard to believe it was 50 years ago!
Despite minor technical difficulties (LIVE video is a completely different ball game than recorded), we were able to receive great tips from Deborah Jones!
