Has anyone ever made a cover for their embroidery machine? Are there patterns for them? TIA ;D

I have in the past. Just folded a piece of paper over it, pinned on pieces for the sides, shaped it a bit here and there and used that as a pattern. Husqvarna had a couple on their site as projects, but they are for specific models. So I advice a couple of old newspapers, a pair of scissors and a number of pins to make your own. Good luck!

Monica I made one for mine& the pattern was either a McCalls or Simplicity, my daughter n Ky. borrowed it. It's n the crafts section & shows it with a large app. cat on it.I didn't put the cat on it. I simply emb. Lillian's Toy on it. I did enlarge on it & do some modifications.

I bought a quilted one off of Ebay... Here's a link to the seller's website. The one I got was for my serger and I ended up spending 10 bucks plus a few dollars for shipping... EXCELLENT quality. She'll also make you ones to match other machines for a low cost.

I use tracing vilene to make patterns from. Cut out pieces to fit & pin them to shape. Then use it as a base pattern.

I've made several covers for things like toaster ovens, mixers, etc. YOu can find the patterns in the McCalls & Simp. books. They are easy to make. Call for piping, but that too is easy to make. I embroidered on the front piece so they all match my kitchen. Of course, I've never gotten around to making one for my machines!! show us a picture when you get it done!

I made one for mine. It was in projects a long time ago and I just moved it back for you to see. The right side is just a flap because of all of the plug ins. I just measured and cut some fabric and sewed it together. It is pretty much a box, so it is not difficult at all.;)
