HANGING IN OUR STORE AND STITCHED UP BY PATTY.
TIP OF THE MONTH
Here is a super simple way of creating a design wall for your sewing room. Purchase a flannel-backed vinyl tablecloth and reinforce the top of the tablecloth using duct tape on the vinyl side. This extra tape will make a more sturdy area for you to cut slits through them for hanging in the appropriate area. Use adhesive-back hooks on your wall at the desired height and then hang your tablecloth with the flannel side facing out. Or make this into a smaller size to hang on the back of your door, using wreath holders with a dowel through a flap that you stitch at the top of the flannel. Quick and inexpensive!

SUITED FOR TOPSTITCHING AND DECORATIVE WORK WITH CORDONNET THREAD.
SANDY'S SPOTLIGHT
I have used several brands of sewing machines over the past 50-plus years and my very first machine was a Singer Touch and Sew. I enjoyed that machine for many years, but then some of the advancements in sewing machines made me long for more. (Remember how complicated it was to make buttonholes with that big attachment?)

I always wanted to buy a Bernina but thought I couldn't justify the money. So I went for other major brands, always to find something that didn't suit me with each top-of-the-line model. For years I have danced around the major brands of sewing machines and secretly held my desire for a Bernina. My most frustrating thing with past machines has been that the stitching was not lined up neatly. The stitches zigged and zagged and doing top stitching was always frustrating.

Then I learned that the reason for my problem is the type of bobbin systems in all these machines couldn't produce a consistent straight stitch. Enter Bernina and their special hook system! Finally,now with my Bernina 880 I can achieve the best stitches available. Whether you want the top-of-the-line machine or one of the fabulous other Bernina models, you will ALWAYS get your stitches to look great! There are just too many features built into Berninas to list here, but I have to mention that putting feet off and on my Bernina is a whole lot easier and FASTER than with all my other machines. NO SCREWDRIVER NEEDED! Whether garment sewing, quilting or embroidering.....I LOVE IT! Why did I wait so long???
