It’s late Friday night, but I didn’t want the day to slip by without sharing a new quilting design this...
As I excitedly announced in an earlier post, Trish Burr had recently requested permission to turn one of my doodles into her magical Shades of Whitework pieces. That particular one (she calls Katarina) is now available in kit form in her Etsy shop. I am thrilled to tell you that she has come back to me for a few more designs (you can read what Trish has planned for them here) I want to give her technique a try, so I have begun with a small "learning" piece. Armed with one of her digital download patterns, I decided to start with just a few of the flowers to practice getting my stitches just right. Wanting a lovely mottled grey fabric for the background (and not finding it) I decided to simply create my own using a piece of muslin and fabric paint.....when I want a fast way to get just a small piece of fabric in a particular colour, paint is quicker and easier than dye. ( I showed how I do this a number of years ago.....you can find that post here) Creating a small composition, I traced some select flowers and with a "transfer" pencil I drew the design in reverse onto plain copy paper. With a hot, dry iron, the image is now in place and ready to stitch. I decided to start small, I am certain my stitches will improve as I continue. Hopefully by the time I finish this small bouquet, I will have the confidence to tackle one of her gorgeous designs and do it justice.

Una piccola guida che ti svela tutti i segreti del ricamo a mano libera con la macchina per cucire: tecnica Free-motion, per personalizzare ogni creazione.
Yesterday, I practiced free motion scribble stitching around some scrappy fused flower patches. Stitching with black thread was scary, but now after stitching a dozen flowers, I think I'm getting the hang of it. I was prepared to do my practice stitching and throw away my samples, but I really like them. So next week, I'll make them up into little zippered pencil cases. Stay tuned. Want to try it yourself? Here's a link with some tips.

Hi Janome Friends! I'm a Janome Maker, who loves her Janome 550E and M7. Today I'm going to share tips on how to use your Janome 550E embroidery machine to quilt your projects and it's easy with Janome AcuFil Quilting Kit! A Frozen Quilt definitely needs snowflake quilting and I wanted to create perfectly stitched snowflakes at home... so I let my Janome 550E do all the hard work for me! Elsa and Olaf love all the snowflakes!!! I used the Janome AcuFil Quilting Kit (ASQ18b) for machine quilting/embroidering my Frozen Quilt. I chose to use the AcuFil Quilting Kit because it works perfectly with my Janome 550E (it will also work with 500E, 450E, 400E, eXpressive 830L, expressive 830). The Janome AcuFil Quilting Kit contains: 7.2" x 7.2" hoop with magnetic clamps. This is a must have! The magnetic clamps allow you to hoop thicker fabric when machine quilting/embroidering a quilt. Plus it is soooo much easier and quicker to hoop your project. Over 100 quilting designs are included. The snowflake I chose was an included design. AcuFil Tool - This computer program (Windows only at this time) allows you to utilize the included designs plus import other designs into the software. The software resizes the quilting design to best fit your quilt and creates a printable template for perfect placement when quilting/embroidering. How to start machine quilting with your Janome 550E: Assemble quilt sandwich using a low loft batting - such as Hobbs 80/20. Quilt sandwich = pieced quilt top, batting, pieced backing. READ instructions - Quick Guide for Hoop ASQ18b starts on page 12. Download Janome AcuFil Tool to your Windows Computer. OPEN AcuFil Tool on computer SELECT Creating Original AcuFil Designs ENTER quilt dimensions CHOOSE design PRINT template WRITE embroidery design to USB flash drive to transfer to Janome 550E START quilting/embroidering You might be wondering why you need to print the template??? Printing the template allows you to precisely position the quilt/hoop so the machine quilting/embroidery designs will stitch out where you want it. I recommended trimming the paper close to the printed image before adhering the printed template to the BACK of the acrylic AcuFil template. Use the grid lines on the printed template to match the grid lines on the acrylic AcuFil template for perfect placement. Your machine will stitch on the quilting/embroidery design exactly as shown as your printed template. Helpful Tips: Batting - Use a low-loft batting (Hobbs 80/20 or Warm & Natural or similar). Remember you will need to hoop ALL 3 layers so this is not the time to choose fluffy thick batting. Quilt Basting - I prefer to use basting spray adhesive so I don't have to worry about removing pins. You can you use pins if you prefer, but do not forget to remove them. Your embroidery machine will not be happy (nor will you) if you forget. Quilt backing needs to be at least 4-6" larger on each edge of quilt to allow for fabric to hoop while quilting edges of quilt. Embroidery tape. If you want to quilt to the very edge of your quilt top- be sure to use embroidery tape to tape the quilt top edge to the batting so your embroidery foot doesn't get stuck on the quilt top edge. Choosing the Quilt Design. As this was my first time machine quilting with my embroidery machine, I chose a single design (NOT a connecting one). This allowed me to place the snowflakes randomly throughout the quilt and I didn't have to try and match up start/stop points for continuous quilting designs. Thread. Choose a thread that can be washed if you plan on washing/drying your finished quilt. I used a 40wt polyester thread, but I think I will try a 50wt thread (thinner) next time as this was a triple stitched design so it's a bit bold of quilting design. Needle. Use a needle that you would use if you were free motion quilting (Janome Purple Tip). I used a 90/14 Top Stitch Needle as I was using a 40wt thread. Choose a quilting design that doesn't have multiple start/stops as each start/stop will make a knot on the back of your quilt. Choose a pattern backing fabric - this will hide the start/stop knots. I snip my thread really close to knot so it's not too noticeable. Stitch a test stitch out to make sure you like the design and thread you chose. If the embroidery needle is not centered on the AcuFil template - Calibrate the Center Position of the needle - page 22. When moving your quilt to a new section to quilt. Leave the hoop attached to the Janome 550E. Remove the quilt only and move the quilt to the next section you want to quilt. Use AcuFil acrylic template to check your quilt is in the correct spot then attach magnetic clamps. Have fun!!!! I absolutely love being able to perfectly machine quilt my quilts at home with my Janome 550E! Since I had so much fun machine quilting this quick Frozen Quilt, I quilted another HUGE quilt with multiple quilting designs. Let me know if you would like another blog post about importing continuous quilting designs into Janome AcuFil. PS: If you need some Frozen Fabric for your Frozen fan - Panel HERE and Fabric HERE.

Oggi un tutorial per tutte le mie amiche ricamine. Realizziamo passo a passo questo simpatico asciughino con il paperotto. Naturalmente occorre avere in primis una macchina ricamatrice e il file di ciò che vogliamo andare a realizzare. Iniziamo intelaiando due strati di stabilizzatore morbido a strappo ed avviamo il ricamo. La macchina fa un primo passaggio per indicare dove appoggiare il nostro asciughino. Quando si ferma togliere il telaio dalla macchina e spruzzare un po' di colla spray poi appoggiare l'angolo sul segno e farlo aderire bene allo stabilizzatore. Inserire nuovamente il telaio. Ora la macchina farà il passaggio per segnare il contorno del nostro paperotto. Successivamente posizioniamo un pezzo di tessuto che vada a coprire interamente il segno e la macchina farà un altro giro per segnare (e fissare) il secondo tessuto. Togliere nuovamente il telaio dalla macchina e, con le forbicine apposite, ritagliare il tessuto in eccesso (solo quello secondario) tutto intorno al segno e dentro al foro. Se riuscite lasciate intatto lo stabilizzatore dentro al foro. E' l'unico passaggio un po' complicato che va eseguito con molta calma. Reinserire il telaio e proseguire con il ricamo. A questo punto, la parte complicata è finita e dobbiamo preoccuparci solo di cambiare i fili quando richiesto. Smontare il telaio, tagliare i fili davanti e dietro e... voilà! Il nostro asciughino è pronto!! Se vi interessa il file scrivetemi la vostra mail nei commenti e ve lo invierò in privato. Spero che il tutorial vi sia utile e se mi invierete le foto dei vostri lavori sarà un piacere per me pubblicarle! A presto!!

This big list of things to embroider for gifts will show you my 30+ favorite machine embroidery gift ideas for Christmas and all occasions!
The computer catalog of their quilts is a good place to start and we spent a long time looking up our friends and favorite quilters to see what works were there. We wrote down the catalog numbers and the next day, some of the quilts were presented on the tables in the viewing room you saw in the last post about the Quilt House. This is by one of my authors, M. Joan Lintault from NY. It is one that isn’t in her book so I was excited to see it. It is a printed design on the fabric and then quilted. Just spectacular detail in the leaf designs and the colors are beautiful. Here is the Libby Lehman they own. One of her ribbon play quilts with vibrant colors after all these years! Of course, Libby is on everyone’s mind in the Quilt world and we are hoping for a complete recovery so we can see more of her work! Goats by Ruth McDowell. ONe of my friends owns a large horse piece by her so I had to see what the museum had. I regret not taking a class with her! These beautiful full quilt shots were generously provided to me by the museum. Any that are odd or badly lit were ones that I took. I couldn’t get an angle to shoot some and of course didn’t have ideal lighting so it’s the best that I could do under the circumstances. Some of the quilts that are filed flat are ones that have embellishments so can’t be folded into boxes or are too delicate.For example, this is a crazy quilt made famous by being on the cover of a Penny Mc Morris book. This embroidered bedcover from 1710-1730 has lots of gold thread, very heavy and intricate. The center medallion is a bed of gold thread and I think the base fabric is silk. As a contrast, this white wholecloth quilt from 1750-1800, France, is just fantastic free motion quilting! It’s over 5 ft so just close ups here. This is a Mughal ‘floor’ quilt from the first half of the 18th century and is silk with silk embroidery, wood-block cotton print on the reverse side. The embroidery is tiny here and amazing! I wonder if it was truly for a floor or a repro of an image on a floor? The vibrant colors of this silk were a standout and I could study this for hours. It is one of the 3 quilts that I found inspirational because of the small pieces used in the quilts. I’d like to try creating with tiny pieces. Here are the other two below. Detail in the Gallery. Pieces were about half inch at the smallest center. Made by Bertha Neiden in Lincoln, NE about 1910 of wool and probably wool scraps from clothing! Wool and felt pieced by hand! It reminds me of many gameboards all together! More photos coming in future blog posts!
