		<description><![CDATA[&#160; A super-easy to learn embroidery program, Perfect Alignment Software, makes creating continuous embroidery a simple task. Here are a few things I’ve learned to simplify the task. Select your design. I’m using one of the 40 built-in border designs, #37 but you can use any design. After clicking OK, the design appears on the screen. Since it’s a rather small design, 90 x 20 mm,  two will fit in a 130 x 180 mm hoop. Copy and paste the design. Now, move the second design to overlap with the first. This overlap will appear seamless when stitched on the fabric. Save the design as Border1. Click on the color swatch on the right side of the screen and assign a new color once the thread chart appears. I chose pink. Click on the Placement Marks icon and click the mark in each corner. Placement marks are now in each corner. I want to view how the next embroidery design will connect now that I have the placement marks in position. Retrieve the design by clicking on the Continuous Border design icon and select #37 again. The new design appears in its original thread color and is easily identifiable. Zoom [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Editor’s Note: We are so excited to feature Niamh from Urban Threads as our guest blogger this week.  You may recognize her recent work featured in the May/June 2012 issue of Designs in Machine Embroidery.  If you need a copy, give us a call at 888-739-0555 to subscribe! A note on all garments shown:  all garments unless otherwise noted are great finds from department stores.  But have no fear!  At the end of the piece we’ll show you similar embroidery designs that you can use to achieve a similar effect. &#160; Let&#8217;s face it &#8230; stitching for guys can be tough. It seems in many cases out there, embroidery for guys assumes that he loves  A) golf  B) hunting, C) grilling or D) beer. Or possibly golfing while flipping burgers and drinking beer, which sounds a bit hazardous to me, honestly. There&#8217;s absolutely nothing wrong with stitching for stuff like this. In fact, the fun of these occasions is that it is a great time to pull out that bright and bold GRILLMASTER design to splash across an apron, or stitch a big buck&#8217;s head across a bright orange sweater. Many of these occasions and hobbies call for bold, straightforward designs. The problem [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As tempting as it was to go overboard, I limited myself to make just one machine-embroidered element for my recent wedding: the table numbers.  In retrospect, I’m not so sure anyone noticed that the numbers were embroidered but that’s okay with me. I enjoyed the process. Since our wedding took place in a natural stone setting (limestone floor, stucco walls, etc) I felt the table numbers and name cards should have an ‘old world’ feel.  So I used ink and water to age basic card stock tags and embroiderable paper. I had a blast doing that – I like to get my hands dirty so this was right up my alley!  First, I used two colors of Distress Ink (tea and coffee colors). I just dabbed the tea ink pad over the tag and then followed with the darker coffee ink.  Then I quickly swiped a wet paper towel across the tag to blend the smudges.  They dried flat and smooth! The next step was how to display the name tags.  I found a very affordable wire dress form with circular details and used it to hold (and transport) the name tags. Once I inserted the name tags in the [...]]]></description>

Here’s the before And here’s the after Once your embroidery is finished, it’s time to add the ruffle and ribbon. Cut seven fabric strips 4 ½” x WOF (44”). Fold in ½” hem on both short sides.  Stitch.  Serge the top of the strip (if the pattern is directional, serge the long edge that will be attached to the towel.) Use a rolled hem foot to get a nice sharp hem on the remaining long side.  Here’s how to use it. Fold under approximately ¼”. Fold again. Place the fabric strip (wrong side up) under the presser foot. Grasp the thread tails that are behind the foot (the tails that are extending out from the two stitches) and take two stitches. Lift the presser foot and insert the folded edge into the fabric guide on the rolled hem foot.  Lower the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Vintage Elegance Elevate a humble days-of-the-week towel set with charming embroidery, ruffled trim and ribbon.  The fun is in the making – truly – I had a blast working on this set of towels.  Hidden in a drawer for ages, the days-of-the-week towels popped into my mind just as I was scrambling for the perfect bridal shower gift for a young, kitchen-comfortable bride! The bride, my niece Kim, has been an avid cook since she first learned how to make homemade pasta at the ripe old age of 8. And she’s got an arsenal full of kitchen equipment. So it’s natural I thought of her kitchen –and the joy she derives from cooking up concoctions in there when I wondered what gift I would give. These towels are as charming as Kim. A multi-talented, humorous, intelligent woman, no plain-Jane simple terrycloth towels for her. Oh no, her towels need to make a statement – to shout to the world, this kitchen and cook are fun-loving serious foodies. It started with adorable embroidery designs. A touch of vintage elegance, the utensil designs were snatched at www.emblibrary.com.  The collection name is “A Classic Kitchenware Design Pack.  I opened each one in Floriani [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are so fortunate! Many of you have sent warm wishes regarding my recent nuptials.  Thank you!  Your thoughts fill Pete and me with joy. I thought I would share some details regarding our big day. First off – in response to the number one question, “No, I did not make my dress.”  I found the perfect sheath – embroidered lace that took about 30 minutes to select, try on and purchase! Couldn’t have done it better myself and I felt there were more important things for me to focus on. I’ll share some of the wedding details and how-to’s with you over the next weeks. At our, ahem, mature age, Pete and I didn’t want to have a traditional wedding and reception. But as the date drew closer, I really felt that our families should meet. I’m blessed with five sisters and Pete has four. I just knew they would all hit it off. I felt if we didn’t have a wedding celebration, they would NEVER get the opportunity to meet unless, a tragedy occurred. So…a wedding was in the works. We selected a resort close to DFW airport as 80% of the 80 guests would travel by air.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[12 Household Tools for the Machine Embroiderer Digital Camera– best design tool in the house (besides pencil and paper). I use a digital camera to record my progress when designing an embroidery layout, auditioning fabrics or setting blocks in a quilt. Any task that takes several attempts to get a certain look can be confirmed by documenting the different versions. I usually step away from the task and return to view the images after a brief hiatus. This break in time and space gives me a fresh eye to select the winning design. Pet brush– for picking up embroidery threads. Look for it in the pet aisle in your local discount store. Skewer, chopstick or unsharpened pencil– for protecting fingers under the needle. ¼” chisel– found in hardware stores, the ¼” chisel provides the exact opening needed to insert the prongs of magnetic snaps or purse feet into fabric/interfacing/lining sandwiches. Plastic zip lock bags– These handy storage bags come in a variety of sizes. I use three sizes: snack size for buttons and beads; quart size for spools of threads and appliqué pieces; and jumbo for keeping all the pieces of a project in one place. Just remember to close [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[7 Steps to Improve Your Embroidery Print a template(s) of your embroidery design so you can plan the embroidery layout. Place it on the item (garment, home décor, craft or quilt) and critique its placement and size. Build a test stash. Keep a test polo shirt, stretchy t-shirt, terrycloth towel and common items that you embroider on all the time in your test stash. Use this resource when testing a design for a final project. Fill every available inch with test designs then toss it when there’s no more room for additional tests.If you’re stitching on plain fabric, always buy more than you’ll need so you have material to use for a test stitch-out.So many problems can be avoided by stitching a test of the design with the fabric, stabilizer and thread combo that you’ll be using for the final project. Press the fabric &#8211; use starch and steam to get the fabric to behave. Press the stabilizer if it&#8217;s wrinkled so it will lay flat behind the fabric. Hoop on a flat, sturdy surface, not your lap. Ironing boards work in a pinch but best results are achieved when hooping on a solid surface, such as a cutting table [...]]]></description>

Many of you may remember Lorraine when she worked in customer service here at Designs.  Now she&#8217;s living in Utah and is definitely missed in Dallas.

Just grab a tee from your closet, your favorite outline embroidery design and some crystals and you’re on your way to a creative way to spend the day.  This is an opportunity to master a technique—whether it’s growing in confidence with layout and design, placing templates, stitching on knits—or all of the above!  The whole point of machine embroidery is to have fun.
