Envelope Style Cushion

In this video I show how to make a simple envelope style cushion cover. My cushion cover has some appliqué detail on the front which was cut with the ScanNCut, I have covered how to cut and applique fabric in previous videos Here and Here

Todays video is just the basics of how I calculate the fabric size for my cushion and tips on how to put it together.

A section of my video at the end showing how I use my overlocker to tidy up the edges of my fabric didn’t record but I do explain in the video that you can use pinking shears, an overcasting or zig zag stitch to achieve this.

This is the finished cushion.

In The Hoop Coin Purse

So I recently came across this little ITH coin purse on the net and the embroidery file is available free from Five Star Fonts.

I have a great sewing/Embroidery machine and don’t really use for embroidery as much as I should, so I decided to have a go at making this little purse and I thought I would share the process with you as I did it for anyone who is new to this type of thing like me.

I followed the PDF instructions and it was very easy to do as you will see from my video. I hope you like it.

The link to the embroidery file is in the comments box below the video.

Embrilliance Essentials announce the release of StitchArtist

Ok so today EE announced they will be selling StitchArtist in a few weeks. This will be their digitising programme and will be sold in separate modules or levels. They have said there will be a level 1 and 2 available in a matter of weeks and level 3 will follow.

You can read all about it Here

I have not been using EE long but I have to admit I find it easy to use when I need it, I am new to the world of machine embroidery but am amazed at the things I can create with my Janome MC9900.

I am sure over the coming weeks we will have more information and videos showing us how to use the new embroidery software features.
