One thing that’s nice about the journals is a way to keep track of your stash. I don’t have a huge stash, but I still forget what I have and where it’s located in my sewing room. I’m going to use the journal to log my fabrics and the different colors. I’m also going to add pictures of my fabrics/charm packs/jelly rolls,, etc. to the journal. Good for tracking patterns too.
Wow! That sound pretty ambitious! My fabric sorting system consists of: Pre-cuts by type, solids, backings, Christmas, Americana, and scraps. That's about all I can handle. I track my patterns on Pinterest. I have created boards of Patterns I Want and Patterns I Have.
Happy New Year!!!!!!! Looking forward to 2020 with all my you tube friends. Your videos are so much info and a lot of fun to watch. Glad you had a safe trip . Glad Santa was good to you, he brought a sleigh full to my house too. Have a good week. Love all your new items, lots of fun sewing.
It was wonderful meeting you and Keith too! So much MORE easy and happy and comfortable than I could ever dream of. It was like we had known you forever already. I was a nervous wreck for NOTHING!!! LOL I'm always afraid people won't like me in person. Looking forward to our next get together!
Hi, Becky, I am looking forward to watching the machine embroidery videos. I acquired a second hand Brother machine last year but so far have not tried any embroidery, just been sewing garments - too scared to try! 🤣 ( Need to buy some embroidery thread also!) Any help along the way is gratefully received. Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧😊💕
Thank you so much for the free Kimberbell design and thank you to Kimberbell! You are an awesome person and encourage us so much to continue doing something that we love.
Cool haul. Glad you’re home safe. Driving the Midwest in winter can be dicey. What a score on the bolt of damask! Wow. Can’t wait to see your dress. Sorry I missed the Jan 9 d/l cutoff for the Kimberbell file sew a long. Would a loved that. Happy New Year!
Embroider-Alongs Awesome! Gosh you are busy! Thanks for your encouragement and keeping us busy with you!! Going to look into the Kimberbell and DIME projects.
Yes I'm one of the ones who got a new to me machine for Christmas. My husband and I we're at Antique Mall 2 days before Christmas and I picked up a pristine 401 singer for $1! I have the big fancy machines but I love to sew on my vintage.
I believe you are talking about Karen Brown of Just Get It Done Quilts.. I am subscribed to her channel . She has taught me a thing or two about quilting. That is really how I have learned to quilt, is by watching youtube quilting channels.. And I am like you, I don't care for the planners either.. I just get a plan in my mind and do it.. lol It usually doesn't look too great, but I always finish it up and then move on to the next one.. And I don't need a planner to tell me when or how to clean a certain part of my house and all that stuff. I just clean my house. lol. But I am not kicking planners.. Some people like them. I just don't happen to be someone who finds them useful.. God loves you.. God bless.
Look forward to the Sew Along with Kimberbell stuff. I have to go pick my fabrics now so I'm ready! I love Kimberbell things - always come out well. Going to do this on the Luminaire??
No, I didn't get a new sewing machine! What's up with that? lol, We had a scare between Dec 21 and Dec 28. My hubby went for an MRI on his back and they found an aortic abdominal aneurysm. It's called a triple A. Widowmaker. They were looking for a pinched nerve and found this. Thank you, Jesus, they found it. He had to have surgery on the 28 of Dec. So our Christmas this year was full of stress and tears, but we made it through thanking the Lord. Now we are recovering. So my gift and his gift was that he is still with us today. Which is the best gift.
What a great haul! Baby Lock and Brother are very similiar, so you actially know how to use 2 brands! Lol My friend & I bought new Ellisimo Gold II machines 5 years or so ago when the first Destiny came out. I started right in as soon as I got home. She still hasn't touched hers other than to bring it in the house in all these years!
I have a singer sewing machine not a real expensive one. Under $300. It has something I can do embroidery, I have not used it yet. How nice to meet her?Karen on get it done quilts.
Enjoyed your chat as usual! I always like to know what you are working on. 😊 I bought a robe for my brother to monogram with the preppie font! But realized I had a plush fleece instead of Terry & was not sure of what kind of stabilizer to use. Any suggestions; he wants it NOW😀
For stabilizer on fleece, I'd use two layers: a layer of Sulky Super Solvy closest to the fabric and a medium weight cut away mesh in the bottom of the hoop. You need the mesh to remain after washing. If you don't have any Super Solvy, then use two layers of mesh. Then I'd use two layers of Sulky Solvy topper so the stitches don't bury in the pile. If you don't have any of that, use something like Saran Wrap. But note that Saran Wrap isn't soluble so you'll have a lot of clean up to do after stitching to get all those little bits away from the stitches.

Hi Becky. Do you know about hotfix adhesive. They say it cuts nice and clean and you don’t have to do any sewing . They say it’s better than heat and bond. For appliqué
Recovering from Surgery and missed the wall hanging pattern from kimbelle🙁, oh well. Next time. I have a scan and cut question. I have a pattern for quilted picture of some sea creatures. It came with a copy of pattern pieces that are separated and are already flipped. So can I scan it like it is and cut it, or do I have to change it? I hadn’t been on your blog for a while, love it! So much info!!
If the pieces are already inverted, then there's no need to mirror them in the Canvas or on the machine. Sorry you missed the embroidery file. Prayers for a quick recovery!❤🙏🙏
I just attempted to download them again (it's 0330 on 9 Jan) and it worked fine. There is a page that says it can't be "pre-viewed" and that may be confusing. There's a download button right under that unicorn image that works. Give another try?
Hi I was able to download the embroidery file, but only to Dropbox, not to my computer or flash drive which is where i keep them. i don't really like Dropbox and have no idea how to move it.
I'm so disappointed!! I wasn't able to watch your video until Jan 11th and I missed out on the free Kimberbell design. Boo hoo!! Looking forward to your video anyway. Stay warm!
Dang! I even called them to ask if they could extend it for my viewers and they were unable to. But she did tell me they have a free project on their website that I'm going to do with you too. :) I'll talk about it in the next video.
Sadly no, I'd be violating Kimberbell's proprietary rules. I called to ask if I could share the files with my viewers but they were unable to. I'll be doing a free Kimberbell mug rug soon that we can all do.
Great haul.... Have you ever seen OML Embroidery.... They do a Saturday sew along.... 10am eastern time.... Lots of fun, free patterns. I did get the download from Dime for the door pattern, how do I unzip it? I have the Dream machine. I don't have a software? Can it be done? I do have a thumb drive? HELP PLEASE....
Oh my, you DO need help! :-) Here's a video I made that explains how to work with downloaded zip files. ruclips.net/video/h__9mmkwGNs/видео.html And here's a couple of videos that explain how to obtain a free version of Embrilliance so you can print out your design. You really don't need to edit the design at all but you will want to print it to see stitch orders and whatnot. You can do that with the free version of Embrilliance. The free version won't let you save any changes, but you already have the final file from DIME so no saving is necessary. Here's what Embrilliance is all about - ruclips.net/video/oV7ABGIwHwM/видео.html Here's how to work Embrilliance Essentials - ruclips.net/video/Ux46I1NoGrE/видео.html And thanks for the OML info. I'll check it out!
Simply Applique is a Brother software product however it will save to any machine embroidery format, including JEF files. The only restriction with Simply Applique is that it won't work on a Mac. It is for a Windows PC only. If you have a Windows machine, it will work for you. If you look at some of my videos on Simply Applique, I show the screen where it shows what format it saves to and Janome/JEF is there.
There’s a free app called Ink Scape whereas you can design your own embroidery designs...Lisa Capen has a step by step process for it....not to take away from your great lessons just thought I would share whereas someone can learn from you and they may not be researching in other videos. Question......the embroidery designs are for the machines...mine is a small Brothers...is it possible to down load a design to print for hand embroidery....since you are a computer whizz ...🤩
I loathe designing of any kind. I can copy like a mad fool (mostly fool! lol) and I prefer to use someone else's embroidery designs so I probably wouldn't use Ink Scape. But thank you for sharing that info because I'm certain there are those here who would be very interested in checking it out. As far as printing, if you have Embrilliance, including the free version, you can print out downloaded embroidery designs. Of course, some digitizers like Urban Threads also offer hand embroidery files in addition to their machine embroidery files.
My Mom and Aunt were Trail Blazers for women and they believe feminists means you have the right to choose your path. I love my Luminaire and PE Design 11.
What size will the door embroidery's be? Maybe we could do a door a month/quilt. That way you would be incorporating two passions. Yes I too have watched Karen Brown of "Just get it Done". But her Bullet Journal is more involved than what I like also. I even checked out Ryder Carroll's site. Everything sounds good but I don't need another job (journaling). I'll just keep my list/appointments in my phone. Have you ever watched any of the Costumers on RUclips? Some of the detail they do on their period dresses is very impressive. Watching has almost made me want to try to make one and maybe go to Costume College (a gathering they do annually where the have classes and everyone gets a chance to show off what they have made). Have a great day!
Power Tools with Thread: On Saturday OML Embroidery did the January door live. My question is when you do your door are you going to just put the fabric on and trim it? Or are you going to try to make a file so you can put it on your Scan N Cut and cut the pieces out? People have been posting their doors on Facebook and some have added embellished to their doors, wreath, birds, & dogs. But I have not found those designs and I was wondering if maybe you have an idea where they found them. I'm new to machine embroidery, new to quilting but I have sewed for over 60 years.
Have missed your chit chats. The 2 embroidery alongs should be fun. I had already d/l'd the door design because I too love doors. When we were in London those were the only pictures I took - so many interesting one. Looking forward to the upcoming fun. Also, you're always so good about sharing products you find and giving an honest opinion, that I thought I would share something I just heard about - Hotfix Adhesive (ruclips.net/video/PRw1QEdllfc/видео.html) It's a Heat and Bond "like" product which was apparently developed for Disney. I've order some from Amazon but haven't received it. Has good reviews - wondering if you know anything about it.

I would love to have a quilt planner! I love your channel.. binge watching!❤❤
Your videos are just the best. They brighten my day, which says a lot because I’m generally always in an awesome mood.
I use Freezer paper for all my fabric stableizers. Does wonderful for even tiny embroidery words. I've been using it on all my embroidery design quilt blocks since 1998 and they all look brand new stitched today. It saves a whole lot of money. Put the shiny side facing up. It tears away so easy on the back to
I've never heard of that! What a great idea. I'm going to give it a try! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing the more economical stabilizer.....

Looking forward to seeing your DAR dress.
I agree about planners,...my only plans is to pray to be still alive in the morning so I can sew...🤪
LOL

I will be downloading the Kimberbell design tomorrow as well as the Dime door design. It will be fun to do a sew along if my schedule allows it.
Totally understand your experience with Joy! You are so much more in person!
What a great haul!

I just got the Dream Machine 2.....and yes it is over whelming but I am working through that😊
happy new year beautiful soul!
There used to be a frame you could buy to make your own umbrella . Maybe that could work for your parasol.
I your video buying the scan n cut. Didn't see you with the ruler. Did you actually get the ruler you went for? Just wondering. LOL
Yes, I did get it. I almost walked out of the store before I remembered!
You are a busy lady. Hugs
Lake Charles is my home town. Boy, has it changed from the sleepy town I knew in 1982!
I thought you were a Louisiana native! Lake Charles, what I saw of it, was very nice. :)
