Since I've been retired, I worry about our budget constantly, and keep thinking I should make my embroidery more of a business. So I had joined several embroidery facebook groups, thinking I would learn new techniques and styles. All it did was stress

A just-because gift for my mom for tomorrow. She is 86, and a three-year cancer survivor. I've learned not to take any day for granted. Design from Tattered Stitches. My picky machine loves her designs. This hasn't been pressed yet, but I was too e

I need suggestions. Two of the young men in our church have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. They are great kids, and I'd like to make them something to commemorate their achievement. Would a boxed type zipper bag be appropriate, or is there somethi

There is probably a simple answer to this question, but here goes--Why do the thread caps on ThreadArt spools pop off all the time? Are they unnecessary? It is driving me crazy.

two tea towels with designs from Tattered Stitches--These are door prizes for our women's tea at our church. I've never sewn this type of light stitching before, and I really love it.

I don't remember exactly how long I've had my beloved Brother machine, but it's about 12 years old. I looked it up, and I've put over 12.5 million stitches on it. I'm kind of proud of my workhouse machine. Wish I had a cool name for it.

My nephew and his wife are expecting a baby. I've always tried to make something for each niece or nephew for their babies, and for this baby I have chosen this set of designs. I'm not all the way finished with the set, but I think these will go perfe

For those of you who do ith zipper bags (I love them!), I have found a Youtube video that shows a way to secure the zipper ends that I've never seen before. I can't share the site, but if you'll pm me... I haven't actually tried the method, but I'm

As many of you probably did, I was a sewer before I was an embroiderer. Today, I sewed this bathrobe for my granddaughter. Sewing seems to be my therapy, as it settles my mind and soothes my worries. While I was sewing, I didn't think one time about

I came to the conclusion today that I am a hypocrite. Scrolling through a website today, I realized that I am on the lookout for sites that violate copyright, but I have been just skipping over obviously copyrighted designs using characters or symbols of

Many days ago, I asked for suggestions for using embroidery on cork fabric. Wow, this fabric feels so good! And it embroiders beautifully! I ended up making angel ornaments and some lip balm holders and still have a lot left to play with. Thanks!

I am lacking in ideas, and hope some of you will have a suggestion for me. I bought some beautiful cork fabric, and now I have no clue what to use it for. I don't want to make snap trays or tree ornaments, so does that limit me to bags and wallets? I

Isn't this a pretty design? I had fun stitching it today. One of the colors I used is Brother's peacock blue. I haven't lint-rolled the thread pieces off yet (and boy they sure are showing up, aren't they?)

My first reading pillow--designs by Memories in Thread. If I was to do it again, I would space the designs a little closer together. I used flannels for their snuggle factor. This is for my little granddaughter.
