Had a serger class, where we made 3 pillows - 99% of which was done on a serger. I decided to make these for one of my sons, who has a new apartment. I'll be giving them to him tomorrow - hope he likes them. Thanks for taking a look!

Thank you! This class really helped me plus, I had to finish them at home - which made me really think about what I was doing. Good luck!!

Not so clever really - I looked and looked for masculine fabric all over Joann's Fabrics. He always dresses so nice for work - I thought about the colors and type prints he wore. Thank you!

I'd be glad and honored to get in your way...oops I mean 'help you, I'm in Missouri. :-P
35301They are absolutely beautiful! I love the fabrics you chose! Your son will be so proud.
Don't you love what the Evolution can do? I have collected a lot of the feet in the past 4 years since I've had the machine. It came with 6 feet for me. I bought the double fold bias accessories (2 sizes), belt loop accessories (2 sizes), clear foot, fabric guide. And earlier this month I picked up the curve foot and the 2 single fold bias accessories.
Before getting those 3, I found that Ebay has some 16 accessories kit for Evolution for sale for 400 some dollars. They look genuine. I wish they had those when I started collecting the feet because that's about what I paid for 4 feet/accessories. The 16 feet kit does include the 6 feet that came with the machine, but it still is a lot cheaper than getting the 6 extra feet I got. I could have gotten that kit and sold the 6 that came with the machine and have a lot more than what I have now. The only thing the kit doesn't include but I want is the Curve Foot.
Anyway, I don't know about your dealer, but my dealer sells these extra feet for anywhere between 89 to 139 dollars. They are nice, but expensive! If you are interested in buying extra feet, consider the kits from Ebay. Might be more feet than you want, but might actually cost less.

Actually, I have the Babylock Imagine - but, I love it!! Since I purchased my machine, they gave me a very special price on a 6 foot kit (with carrying case and all). I made great use out of the cording foot for this project!! I love having my embroidery machine, my sewing machine and my serger all set up - ready to use in my craft room. Thank you for your sweet words!!
104387590A beautiful set and a great job. Thank you for sharing. Amitiés de France.

I was able to do the piping easy with a piping foot - used the same foot to install the zippers. It was a very helpful class! Thanks Edith!!

Thank you!! I even installed the covered zippers on the back of each pillow using my serger which was cool to learn. Just a one stitch line with a sewing machine and the buttons by hand sewing was all that wasn't done by the serger.

I do have to travel to the next town to get a class - but, with the new machine - I knew I needed classes to help me understand it!! It was worth the drive! Thank you!

My old serger was so hard to thread - I rarely used it. First of the year, I saved my money and got a Babylock Imagine - it pretty much threads itself. It says out on my sewing table! Thank you!!
261163Oh! they are just perfect for a young man's apartment. They would go very well in my place too Laura!!!!!!!!!!!! I know he will really appreciate the fact that you made them for him too. Great job on the fabric positioning and the serging! I love the flatlock variegated thread on the back it makes it look very professional. Love Chris

If he hates them, Chris - I'll send one to you and one to Marian. I have found, I love making piping on a serger - I will never do it on a regular sewing machine!! The variegated thread was fun too!! Thank you!
