Sewing Done Right

Christmas break brought on some embroidery bug to our place!

Its been a minute since I’ve embroidered! But I think I made up for it in a couple weeks time with some baby packs.

I got some cute canvas bags to use for stocking bags over Christmas and thought of all these ways to make them even cuter, and make them baby bags … cause we all know you can never have enough cute bags when you’ve got babies!

So back to embroidery!

I started working in my sewing / bedroom thinking about another project and came across some trifold baby diapers (aka burp cloths just waiting to be made) I got to thinking about the two babies in the family that are due soon, donned on a hat and DOWN the rabbit hole I went!!

So many fun sewing memories were made in that week!

I’ve had my Brother 6800PRW for 3 years now and I love LOVE love it! I’ve made big quilts, little quilts, fun quilts, normal quilts, I have used, used used it!

But one of the main features about the machine I wanted was the embroidery part – there’s been quilts I could have embroidered but ….. I didn’t know how to use it =(

So this year for Christmas, I asked for a couple Accuquilt dies and a class to learn how to use the embroidery part of my machine. I even FOUND the class AND signed up for it!! But there was a delay with the class in December, and it was sitting there taunting me, “Leesa Leesa! you need to learn how to use me!!”

So what’d I do, but revert to good ole’ Youtube. After 3, or 10 youtube videos, I felt like I had a rough idea of how to get started, so I got started

First thing to do is – to add the embroidery foot – so take the sewing foot off. Then on the back of the embroidery foot, there is a little lever that you have to push in before putting the foot on the machine. Tighten the foot as normal.

I made a video that explains more of this here. Super simple, AND its on youtube too 😉
