We design quite a few Christmas collections each year at Anita Goodesign, choosing a name for them is often the most difficult part. Since we interact with our customers on Facebook, so often we decided to let you choose the name for this collection based on a preview of a few of the designs. The winner is “All that

Jingles” which is perfect for this fun whimsical assortment of Christmas designs. There are all sorts of critters and objects in this collection, we chose bright colors and appliques for this collection and it is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face this Holiday Season. There are 25 different designs and most of them come in multiple sizes. Designs are for the 5’x7’ and 6” x 10” hoop.

A lot of embroidery projects take a long time to create so every season we try to release at least one Christmas collection that can be completed quickly. Christmas Trios is such a collection. There are 8 different themes in this collection and each theme has three designs in it, large, medium and small. While these designs can be used on anything we

designed them for use on towel sets. Towel sets make the perfect gift for any home. The large design sits perfectly on a bath towel, the medium on a hand towel and the small on a fingertip towel. We used towels that we purchased at a bath store so we didn’t even have to add the trim. We used a heavy tear-away on the back of the towel and a wash away or heat away topping on the top. If you need further tips on embroidering towels there is a Home Decor tutorial located on the CD-Rom in the tutorials folder. Have a Merry Christmas!

We had so much fun designing our Halloween Mirror blocks collection that we immediately went to work on a Christmas version. We called this collection Christmas Mirror Blocks for a reason; each block is split down the middle and combines two unique fabrics for

amazing results. Each of the blocks combine folded fabric techniques with standard applique. Both of the appliques are outlined with split satin stitches and finished of with a running stitch down the center of the satin stitch. The end result is stunning. Complete instructions for this technique are shown in the included tutorial.

This collection consists of 22 modern patterns in 3 different ways. The first version uses a single pass running stitch that mimics free motion quilting. You can even add other embroidery designs right on top of them. The second version is a triple running stitch for a bolder effect! The third version is truly awesome; it is a combination of both stitches. It is a new

technique we came up with completely by accident. We are calling this technique stitch blending, it gives the designs a unique tint by mixing two thread colors. The included tutorial on the disc covers all of the techniques in detail.

Here at Anita Goodesign we are always looking for the latest trends in the world of embroidery. We have noticed that embroidery on clothing is making a come back! So, that inspired us to give you some tips for embroidering on garments. We also have a product line titled Anita Goodesign Fashion Collections. Go to our website and take a look at all our beautiful fashion collections. These collections were designed with fashion clothing in mind and the designs were all tested on garments to guarantee perfect embroidery results.

Here are some of our fashion rules and tips.

1. Start with a quality garmentThe better the garment, the better your end result will be. Cheap clothing generallydoesn’t have good sewing techniques to begin with and are made using cheaper grades offabric which don’t hold embroidery well.

2. Don’t be afraid to use your seam ripper!A lot of the techniques we use will require you to open up seams and literally take yourgarment apart. You have an embroidery machine that costs thousand of dollars don’t beafraid to rip apart a $50.00 pair of jeans. Besides, ripping apart is easy, its putting it backtogether that’s tough!

3. Experiment!Creating your own custom garment will require experimenting with different fabricsand embellishing techniques. Don’t be afraid to try something new.

Combining multiple embroidery designs to create a scene is probably something you’ve done in the past, but how about actually layering the designs on top of each other? Layering the designs is a technique you will see a lot of in the fashion collections. We mostly layer running stitch designs with fully embroidered elements to create

dimensional results. The illustrations below show this technique. There is no right or wrong way to layer these designs, it is all a matter of taste. You can either layer the designs in your embroidery software and stitch them all at once or for larger areas

embroider each one separately.

The running stitch design is embroidered first.The scroll is embroidered second.The roses are embroidered last.

Designs above are from our Designer Roses 2 collection. If you like this collection you

will also like the Designer Roses collection which was out first fashion collection.

•Tired of paying full price for your Embroidery Designs?

•Do you enjoy getting the newest embroidery designs available in the market?

•We have a solution that’s right for you!

•Our 4 unique Clubs will help you choose the best option for your embroidery needs!

Introducing Our NEW Clubs!

Our Diamond Club was created 8 years ago to give our customers new designs every month at a discounted price. The last year has brought many changes at Anita Goodesign including the introduction of our quilting line. We have had feedback from both machine embroiderers wanting more embroidery designs and our customers who make embroidered quilts requesting more quilting designs. So we decided to make some changes, by adding a club for quilting. If you are a current Diamond Club or Platinum Club member you will continue to receive those designs for the remainder of the year. If you would prefer to have the remainder of your membership converted to Quilting Club designs we can do that as well. Simply email Emily Whitaker at [email protected] and she will make sure your next packet is for the Quilting Club. We also have a new club for our customers who want everything, called the VIP Club. Of course no matter which club you are a member of our trade out policy still applies, you can always trade for a quilting design or an embroidery design. Here are the details on all of the clubs. We hope these changes will allow you to choose a club that will give you more of what you want!

So, if you are a new Member or a Renewing Member sign up during our 2012 Fall Promotion

September 15th through November 30th, 2012 and receive FREE gifts!
