A great way to show off your love for sewing!

Looking for a gift idea to celebrate the dad in your life this Father’s Day?  Why not use your SINGER® embroidery machine to stitch out this cool design on a T-shirt, chef’s apron…just about anything you want!

This heirloom-inspired quilt features warm, tone-on-tone fabrics and threads, providing a monochromatic, vintage appearance.  Machine embroidery, along with a variety of decorative stitching techniques have embellished the quilt blocks.  Fabrics used in the quilt are dupioni silk, cotton, batiste, silk organza and cotton organdy.  Rayon, cotton and metallic threads provide added interest throughout the entire piece.  Read on for more details about five different techniques used in this quilt.

I’m so excited to share my first project with you!  New to sewing, only 2 months in, I thought it would be kind of awesome for you to follow along as I tackle this new venture.  I probably won’t know a lot of answers if you have questions but will make sure to connect with my peers to get you answers.  So on to the project!

June is traditionally thought of as kick-off to the bridal season, so we thought we’d inspire you by showing a wedding dress that we embellished with machine embroidery! Whether you are making a wedding dress, any other special occasion dress, or if you just want to embellish one that has already made, machine embroidery allows you to create something that is truly one-of-a-kind!

When doing machine embroidery, most fabrics will require that you use stabilizer in order for the embroidery design to stitch out successfully.
