Tuesday, October 6th, 2009I have used Bernina’s Quilter program in the embroidery software for some projects. It is helpful to be able to actually put fabric samples into blocks, sashing and borders and then insert an embroidery design to “see” what it will look like. It’s not something I use a whole lot, but it is helpful. While [...]

Digging out that tear away stabilizer!
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009Tear away stabilizer is one of my most widely used stabilizers when I’m stitching embroidery designs. As long as the fabric is appropriate for this stabilizer, I love using it! But sometime it can be a challenge to get out all the little pieces of stabilizer on the back on the design after the stitching [...]

The larger the piece of fabric on which you are stitching the design, the easier it is for that fabric to get caught in the needle.
See how easy that [...]
