The New Year brought manychanges for us at Sutura Style.The biggest one was movinginto our new store, DesignerSewing Center. The transitionfrom a home-based, solo-preneurship to a retail businesswith things like regular hours,and team members, is anexciting, ongoing adventure.
While working at homecertainly has its advantages,this move comes at just theright time, not only for us butfor Whitestown. On January26, 2016, Designer SewingCenter made history bybecoming the first business inour small town to be openedby Whitestown officials. In thepast, these events werehandled by either BooneCounty or Zionsville Chamberof Commerce. But the town,like our company, has grown alot over the past few years andit is with great pride that wetake this historic first step.
The shop offers greatopportunities for interactionwith the community, eventsand specials and I am sostoked to see what thefuture holds. We’ve gotnew programs, state-of-the-art machines and aspace of our own.
All of this meant settingaside the magazine for theWinter Edition - a sacrificethat I was sorry to have tomake, but it means thatthis issue has moretutorials, fashion featuresand, for the first time,special offers on somebeautiful fabrics.
Spring is in the air and Ijust can’t wait to see whatthe future brings.
Happy Sewing!

Sewing Ideas
Ruffler attachments are an easy way to get gorgeous stylefor the home and your wardrobe in very little time.
I had been wondering about the difference between thegeneric version that I had purchased a long time ago and theBrother brand unit. I decided to sew up New Look pattern6202 and add ruffled cap sleeves, and a two layer skirt. Thejoy of this attachment is that it handles all the math for memaking adding ruffles easy like Sunday morning. I mustnote that all rufflers are a little noisy, so first time users maybe startled by the sound.
Snap the ruffler onto your machine and use the screws toadjust it so that your needle drops directly into the slot(Photo 2). The attachment is designed to sew a centeredstraight stitch only, so make sure you have selected thecorrect stitch. Place a piece of fabric under the attachmentand a long strip of thin fabric such as cotton in the unitbetween the ruffle plate and the top of the attachment asshown in photo 1.
You can adjust the distance between ruffles with theselection lever shown in photo 3. This determines how manystitches your machine will make between ruffles. The secondway to increase or decrease the number of ruffles is toincrease or decease the stitch length as shown in photo 1.Sewing a test will help determine the stitch length and leversetting.
Sew as you normally would keeping the fabrics straight. Donot fight the ruffler. Use a feather touch to guide he fabricsand the top fabric will be pleated/ruffled into the lower one.
The Sweet Easter Dress (right) took about 1 hour tocomplete. See the tutorial on the following pages.
A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS
A Ruffler Makes it Easy! Accessory Tutorial
A
Sweet EasterDress
TutorialStitch up a sweet dress for your
little girl in about one hour usingthe bodice section of New Look
pattern 6202 and a ruffler.
● Thread to match,
● Ruffler for your machine,
● 1/4” guide foot,
● Serger with blending thread, and
● Glue stick.
Choose pretty cotton fabrics for the
best results and the following:
● 1 3/4 yards of dress fabric,
● 1 yard of contrast fabric,
● 1 small hook and eye closure,
You WillNeed
1. Cut out the BOTH the bodice back and front using just the front pattern
piece (pattern piece 1) from the dress fabric, being careful to adjust the
back neckline so that it sits higher than the front by about 1.5”.
2. Fold the bodice back in half and cut a 4” slit on the fold starting at the
neckline.
3. Cut 2 18” x WOF pieces from the dress fabric and 1 22” x WOF of contrast
for the peach dress OR 2 10” x WOF for the aqua dress.
4. Cut the sash (piece 8) and 3 24” x 1.25” strips of bias of contrast.
5. To create the sleeve caps, cut 2 pieces of fabric in this shape by folding the
remaining contrast fabric on the crossgrain and folding again along the
straight of grain.
Fold
4”
20”
CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS
Abbreviations used: WOF: Width Of Fabric RST: Right Sides Together
If you do not have a serger,sew one side seam and clipthe binding as shown. Press.
To reduce the bulk, sew a second line of
straight stitches and trim the seam
allowance. Press the seam open.
Stitch in the ditch to securethe bias binding.
Use a bit of the leftover binding to finish
the neckline slit. Stitch at a scant 1/8”,
right sides together and turn the binding,
clipping it at the “V”. Press the binding to
the wrong side of the fabric. Bias will not
fray. Edgestitch it in place.
Sew the shoulder seams firstand finish the raw edges.Press the seams to the back.
Stitch a strip of bias around the armhole at
1/8” seam allowance as shown. Gently ease
the bias around the curve, do not pull it.
Press. Add a few dots of glue to the strip and
fold so that the raw edges meet. Press to set
the glue. Run a line of glue along the folded
strip and press again enclosing the seam.
At the end of stitching thefirst half of the skirt, therewill be fabric left over.
This is a good thing! Place the dress on a
flat surface and fold it in half at center
front, matching the selvedge edges of the
skirt. Cut a notch on the unstitched piece
at the location of the side seam.
Let the machine do themath!
Place the bodice under the ruffler with the
side seam directly under the needle.Insert
the skirt into the ruffler with the side seam
also directly under the needle. Ruffler
setting 6, stitch length 2.5. Sew slowly. Do
not pull the skirt at all. The machine will
ruffle the skirt into the the bodice.
If you have a serger, use it tofinish all the raw edges thensew one side seam. Press.
Sew the skirt sections together along one
short side. You now have a very long piece
of fabric. Used a rolled hem on a serger to
finish the raw edge on the long side (peach
dress) OR sew the 2 10” bands on one
short side. Press the seam open. Match the
sides seams RST.
Because the ruffler is large,you will not be able to sewall the way.
Press the seam allowance out of
your way and then place the
dress on a flat surface.
Match the notch to the edge and start stitching
It’s easy to get nervous at this point because it’s difficult to know
for sure if there is enough fabric. Relax and let the machine do
it’s thing! If you stitch slowly and are careful not to
tug or push the fabric, it will work out just fine. Stitch as far as
you can, then cut the threads and take the garment off the
machine.
Using a serger makes shortwork of finishing the waistseam.
Using a 4 thread safety stitch, finsih
the raw edges of all layers at the
waist seam. If you are using a
conventional machine, trim the seam
allowances and finish them with an
overcsat stitch of narrow zigzag.
Set the ruffler to 12, keepingthe stitch length at 2.5
For the peach underskirt, sew a line of
ruffles along the top edge. Because
the ruffler setting is doubled, half the
amount of fabric will be used, creating
a perfectly even set of skirts. Baste
the underskirt to the the dress.
Use long thin pins to createpleats for the remainingspace.
Quilting pins are perfect to use here.
Measure the size of the ruffles that
have been made and pin the fabric so
that the ruffles continue. Stitch the
seam.
Use a stitch in the ditch foot to sew the neckline and
armhole bias in place. Contrasting thread was used
in the bobbin for photographic purposes, please use
matching thread on your project.
To complete the project, hand sew a hook and eye to
the neckline opening, ensuring that the closure
fastens the dress neatly.
Voila! A beautiful dress ready for your little girl!
Now that you’ve learned how easy it is to use a ruffler,try it out on style for yourself! This über easy dirdlskirt is a snap to make for quick spring style. You willneed about 3 yards of 42” or 2 yards of 60” fabric forthe skirt plus a waistband measurement of fusiblewoven interfacing. Instructions are based upon 42”fabric with 60” instructions in parenthesis.
● Cut a waistband 5” wide on the crossgrain of yourskirt fabric by your waist measurement plus 2” forthe seam allowances and ease.
● Cut a 4” wide piece of woven cotton interfacing onthe straight of grain. It should be cut the length ofyour waist measurement plus 1”. Fuse this to thecenter of your waistband. There will be 1/2” offabric on all sides.
● Cut 3 (2 for 60”) pieces of fabric 26” long by thewidth of the fabric. Join pieces together with 1/2”seams. Finish the raw seam allowances. You nowhave one continous piece of fabric 80” (120”)wideby 26” long.
Make it in minutesDepending on your size, set the ruffler to either 6 or12. Fuller-figured sewers may wish to use setting 12.Stitch up a test piece first then place the waistbandunder the ruffler and insert the skirt into the unit.Start stitching about 1” away from the raw edge. Sewat 1/2” seam allowance. This seems huge for anenclosed seam but you will thank me for this advicein a few minutes! Stop stitching about 1” away fromthe raw edge. Remove the ruffler and finish the waistseam on both sides with a line of straight stitches.Press the seam allowances towards the waistband.Aren’t you glad for the advice? Yeah - those tinyruffles can be painful to press! Now trim the seamallowances down to 3/8”. Fold the long, unstitchededge of the waistband 3/8” and press. Insert aninvisible zipper and finish the back seam. Fold thewaistband over, right sides together and stitch it atthe back seam edge. Stithc in the ditch along thewaist seam to enclose the waistband. Add two hookand eye closures at center back.
Happy Spring!

DESIGNER AMANDA KOKER
Amanda Koker is the Ownerand Fashion Designer for
ASK Fashion LLC- Boston MAbased plus size women's wear
company and brand.
Getting started in the Fashion Industry is a
daunting task. With much of what we wear being
manufactured off-shore, there are decreasing
capabilities to produce stylish clothes that fit well
here in the U.S.A.
ASK Fashion is a small independent company
that is made in the USA. It has been running for
just about 2 years and has a collection of plus size
clothing available online at Amanda’s Etsy Store :
http://www.etsy.com/shop/ASKFashionLLC.
She currently designs and helps to produce plus
size dresses in sizes 14-28. ASK is fashion brand
with an attitude that features quality products
exclusively made in the United States.
Independent Designers
Getting started was a natural progression for Amanda, “I
have always been passionate about art and expressing myself
creatively. I have also been plus size my entire life. This was
unfortunate in the early 90’s when crop tops were the look of
choice. I took my own struggles and decided to solve my own
problems. I knew if I had this problem- other women must
have this problem too. So I took my name- Amanda
Stephanie Koker- and created ASK Fashion.”
Independent fashion designers are often plagued by a host of
problems from supply lines to fulfillment: and money is an
issue in any small business. “ I overcome challenges by
bootstrapping my business (funding it myself), going to
small business trade shows to find smaller fabric suppliers
and factories, taking classes to help with my marketing skills,
and making sure I always find time every day to do business,
and take time for myself. I sell my clothing online, and
through pop-up shops events during the year.
Amanda showcased her Spring/Summer 2016 ASK Fashion Collection,shown over the next few pages, at Boston Fashion Week.

Edgey, yet feminine ASK Fashion provides cool style for the plus-size market. The colorblocked dress, shown above is a comfortable option in Ponte Di Roma $79.95. Studdedand soft, the purple and black Punk Rock dress on the previous page is featured at theonline store for $89.95.

SPRING DAYS
Time for tea! Use our Brother Free Design this month to decorate the center of a tea cozy made from atea towel. The red work tea set design is the perfect accent to the circular applique we created from builtin Brother frame shapes. This is a quick project and while it’s perfect your next tea party it also makes athoughtful gift.
Materials and Supplies· Brother Sewing and Brother Embroidery machine or a
combination model
· Brother Embroidery Threads

26-inches long.

· ¾ yard of 1-inch wide ruffled lace.
· Paper, straight edge ruler, and curved fashion ruler for
creating tea cozy pattern.
· Brother Free Design, redworkteaset.pes. *See Figure #1.
Instructions for Creating Tea Cozy
1. Begin by creating the tea cozy pattern as follows:
· Draw and cut a rectangle measuring 15-inches wide X
11-inches high. Fold paper half across the width of the
piece.
· Mark a dash line 5-inches in from the top corner and then
mark a second dash line 4-inches down from the top
corner. Use a straight edge to connect the two dash marks
and make a dot where they intersect at the center. Use
fashion ruler to draw a curved line beginning at center
fold and ending at the marked dot. See below:
Figure #1
Note: The featured free design will fit a4-inch hoop. To use the appliquétechnique with added lettering featuredhere you will need a hoop thataccommodates a design approximately6-inches round. We used an 8-inch hoopto stitch our design.
Designed exclusively for you from theBrother Education Department
· Finish by drawing a curved line beginning at the dot and
continuing to the bottom edge. *See Figure #2a and
#2b.
· Open folded paper to reveal complete pattern.
*See Figure #3.
Note: Our pattern is designed for a standard 6-cup teapot.
To make a trial pattern for your teapot we suggest cutting
one from craft felt, pin fit on your teapot, adjust, and then
alter pattern as necessary for your teapot size.
2. Wash, dry, and press the tea towel. Fold in half crosswise
and cut in half so you have one oversized piece for the tea
cozy front and one for the back.
3. Fuse fleece to wrong side of 7-inch cotton square.
4. Select one half of the tea towel to use for the front. Hoop the
piece with the width centered in the 8-inch hoop and tear
away stabilizer underneath. Layer cotton square in the center
with right side of fabric facing up. *See Figure #4.
5. Transfer design to machine. We added Time for Tea lettering
and used the array feature to arch the letters over the design.
Figure #2a
Figure #2b
Figure #3
Figure #4
6. Complete the design with a circular appliqué as
follows: Select a triple straight stitch circular frame
shape from the built in menu. Increase size to
surround combined design.
We increased our circle to equal 5.28” X 5.28”.
Next, Select the satin stitch circular frame shape and
increase the size so it is approximately one-quarter
inch larger than the first circle. We increased our
circle to equal 5.51” X 5.51”. *See Figure #5a and
#5b.
7. Embroider the design, stopping after stitching the straight
stitch circle. Use curved tip scissors to carefully cut away
fabric outside stitching line. *See Figure #6. Cover the raw
edges by stitching the satin stitch circle. *See Figure #7.
8. Center your tea cozy pattern over the circular appliqué. To
allow for some shrinkage during quilting, cut piece for front
with an additional 1/4-inch of fabric outside the pattern line.
Repeat this process to cut the back piece and two matching
pieces from insulating fleece. Layer fleece under each front
and back piece and quilt the layers together as desired,
quilting around the circular appliqué. We used a walking foot
to stitch around the circle and then followed the pattern on
the towel for quilted lines in a gridded fashion.
9. Use the tea cozy pattern to cut two pieces for lining. 10.To
create a loop for the top of the cozy cut a strip measuring
2-inches wide X 6-inches long from tea towel remnants. Fold
½-inch to the wrong side on each long edge, and then fold
in half and press. Top stitch close to each long edge to finish.

Designed exclusively for you from theBrother Education Department
11.Place pattern back on quilted pieces and trim to size. Baste
lace along ½-inch seam line of curved edge of front piece.
Pin loop at the top with all raw edges even. Layer back cozy
piece with front having right sides together. *See Figure
#8.
12.Sew the tea cozy seam for using a ½-inch seam allowance.
13.Place lining pieces right sides together and sew seam in the
same manner as you did for the tea cozy. Trim seams to
eliminate bulk and press both lining and tea cozy.
14.Turn both tea cozy and lining right sides out and press.
15.Slip lining inside tea cozy with wrong sides facing. Turn
under ½ inch along the bottom edge of each and hand stitch
to close the opening and secure the lining to the tea cozy.
16.Using small hand stitches stitch in the ditch of the seam to
tack the lining and tea cozy layers together, beginning and
ending a couple inches from each side of the loop at the top
of the tea cozy. You are finished!

“ Brother machines opened up a whole new world for me,”Angela explains. “ The features make it so simple to designand create.” As a self-proclaimed technology guru, Angelasays that the computer technology and features found inBrother machines make it a seamless transition. “ In today’sworld,we are all using some form of technology,” Angelaexplained. “ Brother has eliminated the learning curve bymaking the functions familiar and easy-to-use.”
Angela’s expansive knowledge of Brother machines andexperience in the industry have positioned her as one ofthe go-to experts for what’s hot and trending in fashionsewing and design. She has narrowed down her top sixfavorite Brother features and machines that she says haverevolutionizedher career.
Angela’s Top Brot her Favorit eFeat ures & Machines
• Scanning Feat ure using InnovEye® 2 Technology onTHE Dream Machine Innov-ís XV8500D. “ This is by farmy favorite Brother feature. It’s like having a built-incamera! It eliminates the guesswork,so I know exactly where my design will go and how itwill look before I even press a button. I will often scanin my garments using the ‘Scanning’ function built intothe machine. This way, I can see the design superimposedon the project so I can posit ion, rotate, color and resize itto fit my look!”
• THE Dream Fabric Frame. “ I absolutely love designingand embellishing fabrics on this 3' x 5' frame. It’s socompact, it fits in any room! Thread painting on myfabrics is my favorite. It adds dimension and texture tocreate custom and one- of-a-kind fabrics that I use tomake my garments. In fact, it’s a bit addictive. I wish Ihad one at the office and another one at home in frontof the firep lace!”
• The Persona PRS100. “ This is a perfect bridge machinebetween a basic sewing/embroidery machine and themulti-needle machines. It reallyis a ‘Singular Sensation,’ as it’s a very flexible singleneedle embroidery machine. It offers unique embroideryoptions and it’s compatible with iBroidery.com, so I canembroider Disney – even on caps! The verticalconfiguration of the machine allows me to easily accesshard to reach areas like caps, sleeves and bags. The capframe and driver set that comes with the machine allowme to embroider on hats – something I couldn’t do onmy tradit ional embroidery machines.”
• Sew Straight TM 2 Laser Vision Guide. “ This feature hasso many uses, particularly making it very easy to sewperfectly straight lines for top- st itching and quilt ing.For instance, st itching in the ditch is easier than ever. Isimply align the laser guide with the ditch and startsewing. My stitches never wander away from the seamand are always in a straight line!”THE Dream Machine
Angela’s Top Brot her Favorit esFeat ures & Machines (cont inued)• P Q1500SLPRW. “ This remains my first and favorite
Brother machine for sewing. It replaced my industrialmachines and the needle felting feature is a creativebonus. When I want to add texture and dimension tomy wool, fleece orsilk garments, I always make sure to use the needlefelting attachment. It elevates garment embellishmentto another level!”
• MuVit TM Digit al Dual Feed Syst em. “ This is aningenious feature that I can use on all kinds of fabrics,particularly sewing bags and layers of fabric. It providesme with virtually perfect stitching on difficult to sewfabrics like leather, faux fur and even silk! The best partabout this feature is thatI can digitally adjust the dual feed speed right on thescreen. It gives me that extra precision I always look forin my projects.”
Angela loves to share her passion for Brother with herviewers. In addition to her audience on It’s Sew Easy (whichjust filmed its eleventh season), Angela currently teachesclasses on PatternReview.com and has an impressive numberof 74,000 students on Craftsy.com (an online website forcreative learning), where she teaches sewing classes, usingall Brother machines. “ I’m asked at least once a week frommy viewers which Brother machine they should buy,”Angela stated. “ It’s a great feeling to know theyare watching, learning, and want one of the best machinesin the business.”
Angela has raised the bar when it comes to her passion forfashion. As a successful designer, she says it was important togive back. “ The main reason I altered my career fromdesigning to teaching was to get people excited and toinspire them to sew,” Angela said. “ I’ve had students rangingfrom six to 88 years old. The best part is that no matter howyoung or old you are, sewing allows your inner creativity toflow. Brother has hit the mark by making machines that arefun and easy- to-use for sewers at every skill level.”
Angela has expanded her designing and educating careerby launching the Angela Wolf Pattern Collection™, a lineof exclusive fan favorite designs for the home sewer. “ Theviewers know I always wear my own designs,” said Angela.“ It’s fun to hear their feedback, knowing they don’t wantto buy ‘off the rack’ anymore and are willing to trysewing their own clothes.”
Staying ahead of the fashion curve is critical in Angela’sbusiness. She says embroidery remainsone of the hottest elements in the sewing world, which goeshand-in-hand with the amazing embroidery capabilities onBrother machines. Taking center stage on the embroideryfront is the new Persona PRS100 single-needle embroiderymachine. This versatile, feature-packed machine is affordablypriced and is the perfect bridge for the home sewer whowants more embroidery capabilities without jumping rightinto the expense of a six- or 10-needle embroidery machine.Combining textures like quilting with denim, for example,is becoming a hot trend on garments that include jeans andjackets. “ It’s creativity on the embellishment side,” Angelaexplained. “ Machines like the Brother ScanNCut2 electroniccutting machine allow me to add another level of creativityto a garment with ease and precision.”
As a renowned custom couture designer, Angela has laboredthousands of hours on exclusive garments for her clients overthe years – doing much of the intricate work by hand. “ Theembellishment capabilities on Brother machines are equal tothe quality that I did
by hand,” Angela stated. The results look so rich that noone can tell the difference. The final products areimpeccable.”
With thousands of viewers and followers around theworld, Angela is grateful for the opportunity to share herpassion and inspire others to sew.“ I started sewing when I was six years old and continuedthroughout my college career,” Angela said. “ It wasn’tuntil I studied and learned the skills of proper garmentconstruction that I understood the mechanics of the craftand I have never turned back.” She says Brother hasdesigned sewing and embroidery machines with featuresthat designers have only dreamed of. “ What you thoughtwas a challenge and out of reach is now only a push of abutton away,” Angela said. “ Brother makes it easy to findthe designer in each of us.”
“ I’M ASKED AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK
FROM MY VIEWERS WHICH BROTHER
MACHINE THEY SHOULD BUY,”
AN GELA STATED. “ IT’S A GREAT
FEELING TO KNOW THEY ARE
WATCHING, LEARNING, AND WANT
ONE OF THE BEST MACHIN ES IN THE
BUSINESS.”
Sweaters For All WeatherCozy, comfy and ohhhh so nice to wear - when thecold weather hits, I reach for my favorite sweaterswith chronic regularity. And a wardrobe full oflacey, fuzzy, downright cuddly sweaters is just onepattern away.
Burda Patter 6990 is a true keeper. With 5 stylesthat range from classic to current, it’s easy tochoose a style for the moment. Enter a fun range oflight and heavy fabrics and a few stolen momentsat the machine and it is easy to stitch up somecasual style using the production method.
The production method involves cutting multiples ofthe same style and sewing them together. Thisbuilds muscle memory and allows you to finish inshort order. Here are some tips for makingsweaters for all weather.
● Decide to stitch either dark or light fabrics inone sitting
● Load the machine with a thread - such asblack or charcoal that will work for a varietyof colors
● Cut a few sweaters out, varying the necklineif you wish
● Start at the top and work your way to thehem of the sweaters
Choose an array of knit fabric in various weightsand in short order, you will have a stack of sweatersfor all weather.
Burda 6990
In 2008 by designers Shaikha
Noor Al Khalifa and Shaikha
Haya Al Khalifa, cousins and
friends since childhood, debuted
their stunning collection in their
homeland of Bahrain after
studying Fashion Design in the
United States.
At just 25 years of age, their first
collection showed all the poise of
a pair of veterans and the styles
were welcomed and worn by
fashionistas and celebrities.
To launch the brand
internationally, an exclusive
event was held in Los Angeles in
July 2011. The launch was
followed by a presentation in
February 2012 during New York
Fashion Week, where the
designer’s displayed their Fall
2012 collection to editors,
journalists and celebrity guests.
Focus on Fashion: Noon By Noor
Since then, the duo has
consistently produced
collections that are a beautiful
blend of East Meets West, with
melange of flowing style lines
and crisp cuts. The collections
are fun to watch and easy to
envision in one’s closet. Exactly
what a collection should be.
The following pages are
highlights from the Spring 2016
Collection.
Noon by Noor can be found at
Saks Fifth Avenue Bahrain,
Saks Fifth Avenue Dubai,
Symphony Style, Harvey
Nichols Kuwait, Harvey Nichols
Riyadh, Per Lei Couture Doha,
Ron Herman LA, Elizabeth
Charles San Francisco and Le
66 Paris. Noon By Noor’s
online boutique facilitates
worldwide shipping.
Ponte di RomaThe Bridge Between Two Worlds
Ponte is on the
WAY!!
Ponte di Roma, also referred
to as PDR, Ponte Knit or
Ponte de Roma, is a double
knit fabric that is stable to
work with, has a lovely
drape and does not fray
making it the go-to choice
for designers and fabric
enthusiasts alike. The word
“ponte” means bridge in
Italian and Portugese. This
may refer to the knitting
methods used to create the
fabric but whatever the
reason, this knit is a bridge
between the worlds of
sewing with woven farbcis
and sewing with knits. For
those who are intimidated
about working with knit
fabrics, a stable material
like PDR is a joy to work
with. There are various
qualities involving greater or
less amounts of polyester
and rayon. Ours is arriving
in an array of beautiful
colors: Canary, Lilac, Navy,
Coral, Turquoise and Red.
Our summer weight fabric is
a super soft, drapey blend
of poly/cotton, rayon and a
drop of lycra for added
stretch.
Fabric in Focus: The Trending Colors of Summer
Beautiful knits are
rocking the runway of
of Spanish designer
Juanjo Oliva in Madrid
with his Spring
Summer Collection
2016. Bold, bright
colors are always in
style for summer and
this season is no
different with aqua,
mandarin orange,
canary yellow and coral
taking center stage.
His collection features
soft flowing lines that
speak of comfort and
style.

Designer Secrets: Sewing With LaceThis article is an introduction to a series of articles for Bridal and Special Occasion
proper lace or silk pins tosecure the pieces through alllayers.
Tempting as it my be to skip thebasting - don’t do it! Bastingyour lace garment is anessential quality step. Use afine needle and one ply ofthread to thread trace thestitching lines. Cut out thepattern pieces, around themotifs that extend beyond theseam line. Gently remove thepattern pieces.
Baste the pieces together bylapping the garment edges andworking carefully with the rightside of the fabric up.
Sew the pieces together withfine thread and a narrow zigzagstitch, going around the motifs.The underlay privdes stabilitywhile sewing and adds shape tothe garment.
Preparing to Cut
Lace is actually much simpler tosew than it may seem, however itcan be very time consuming.
If this is your first lace project,pick something easy like dirndlskirt or simple top.
Trace out full pattern pieces ontopattern tracing fabric or tissuepaper. Cut right and left sides byflipping the pattern pieces over.
Lay out your underlay fabric in asingle layer. Place the lace on topof it, also in a single layer.
Lay out all your pattern pieceson the lace. Ensure that the mainmotif is at the center of yourpattern piece and that thegalloon (scalloped) edgescorrespond to the hems of yourpattern pieces such as sleevehems and skirt hems. Lace doesnot have grain so feel free tomove the pieces around formatching the pattern. Use
The lace overskirt of thisbridal gown is cut so that thescalloped edge is at the hem,saving the need to hem the
garment.
For more information on sewing with lace, I highly recommend reading Couture Sewing Techniques and Fabric SewingGuide, both by Claire B. Shaeffer (p. 199 -206), and the out of print book, Singer Sewing Reference Library, Sewing with
Specialty Fabrics.
At up to an eye-watering $600/yard,Chantilly Lace can a daunting prospectfor the most skilled dressmaker. This
tutorial provides the basic methods forsewing “big box store” lace. More finesewing methods will be shared in theupcoming “Sposa” edition. You willneed pattern tracing fabric and anunderlay fabric such as organza or

Looking online for sewing machine reviewsyielded about 12,800,000 results in 0.42seconds with Google. Most of the machinesthat came up can be ordered online and thereviewers include a link that takes theconsumer to the site, making the purchaseprocess very easy. Last edition, the bestsergers were covered across the board, butnow that we are Authorized Dealers for Jukiand Brother, it behooves me to focus on what Iwork with everyday.
Juki rang in the New Year in an astonishingmanner bringing out 6 new machines and anew serger. The new HZL-DX7 replaces theF-600 as the top of the line sewing machinefrom Juki. Fans of the F-600 may be upset butthis new model is packed with features thatsewers and quilters alike are going to love.
The first of these is the float function which isdesigned to prevent uneven seams andbunching when quilting. This is a huge benefitfor those who like to work with stretchyfabrics like minky. The presser foot pressure isreduced in 0.1 mm increments allowing themost difficult fabrics to pass under the presserfoot smoothly. I remember struggling to getmy presser foot pressure just right byadjusting it manually. Nice step forward.
Another new feature to look forward to is theFoot Switch Function. You can now customizehow the heel tap mechanism works on yourmachine. Choices include:
● Lifting the presser foot,
SURPASSING GREATNESS: THE NEW JUKI DX7 VS. THE F-600● Trimming the threads,
● Reverse stitching, and
● Sewing a single stitch.
The machine also has increased speed - up to1050 s.p.m. The F-600 had 900. If thatseems like too much, the DX-5 and the DX-7have Low Speed Inching Sewing. Basicallythe machine will slow right down to a “snailstuck in molasses” pace for those times whenprecision counts the most.
My favorite new feature is the straight stitchslide plate. With the flip of a switch, themachine transforms from zig zag mode tostraight stitch only - perfect for quilters andfine garment sewers alike. The machinerecognizes when the switch has been madeso no more slamming the needle into theplate (I’ve done this a few times after takinga break from sewing) when a new stitch isselected. It just doesn’t sew and moreimportantly, it let’s you know. It can behumbling to sit at a machine with a bettermemory than I have.
Although the machine is remarkably simplein appearance, it has incredible power. Ikicked it up to full speed using straightstitch, zig zag and a satin stitch. Some thingshave to be seen to be believed, so c’mon byand visit the shop. We’ve got plenty of coolnew things to show your from Juki.

Scan N Cut Quilt
Using a machine to cut the fabric for my applique turned out to be a bit of an adventure!Last month, Toni Weresch, Brother Educator and Digitizing Guru, visited us at DesignerSewing Center. One of the machines she taught us about was the Scan N Cut CM650W.The machine was a sheer joy to use and oh-so-simple to work with once I had a littletraining. I was able to put together a little Valentine’s Day hot pad fairly quickly - muchfaster that if I had to cut all the little pieces by hand. The next project was the first blockin our March/April quilt “Down on Grandpa’s Farm.
Continued on the next page
This simple quilt uses the Brother CM650W to accurately cut out the pieces andnovice level stitching techniques to piece it all together. Part 1
Using the fun farm animal
print as our focus fabric,
this easy-to-make crib
quilt is a great way to
learn how to quilt. With
just 6 blocks, you will have
the chance to learn basic
methods for:
● Applique
● Paper piecing
● Free motion quilting
● Framing the blocks
● Binding the quilt You
can choose from 6
simple animal blocks:
● Pig
● Cow
● Rooster
● Chicken
● Sheep
● Goose
For the block, gather
together solids or blenders
in the colors that are
shown in the Happy
Homestead Cream
Figurines fabric shown
here. Each applique is
about 5 1/2” high so fat
eigths work well.
You are all invited to join us in the shop everyTuesday starting March 22 as we stitch up thisDawn Abbey Quilt Design.
Always choose a light, medium and dark fabric for your
quilt if you want it to “pop”. Bold colors like red and blue
(dark) contrast well with the off-white background of the
focus fabric. The tan color is a medium range (colors vary
on screen) and we are using a light blue, medium yellow
and medium peach to add balance.
When choosing fabrics:
● for the blocks: 2/3 yard of light background fabric cut into 6
x 9 1/2” squares,
● Fat eigths or scraps of blue, red, brown/tan, white, light
blue, peach and yellow fabrics,
● 1/2 yard of each red, off white and blue fabric,
● 1 yard of fusible web,
● A crib sized quilt batt,
● 1 yard of fabric for the quilt back, and
● 2 packages of extra wide double fold bias tape.
Prepare the fabric by washing it, cutting off the selvedges and
pressing it with starch. The fabric should have a nice crisp hand
to it. I recommend using Mary Ellen’s Best Pressed Starch
Alternative. Lightly mist the fabric and press it carefully from
the wrong side. Repeat this process, creating layers of starch as
needed to get a crisp hand.

Trace all pattern pieces onto a fusible web product such as
WonderUnder© on the paper side. Cut each shape neatly
on the lines and fuse it to your fabric. Following the lines,
cut out your fabric. Leave the paper backing on the pieces
and store them in a plastic zip closure bag until you are
ready to use them.
Quick and Easy Steps to Success!
Start by preparing the fabric with Terial Magic and back it with Fusible Web. Scan the pattern provided into yourScan N Cut Machine. Place a Fabric Cutting Sheet onto your 12” mat, smoothing out all the bubbles with a rubberspatula or credit card. Line up a 6” x 12” strip of fabric at the bottom of the cutting sheet, 2.5 ” strip of green forthe grass and a 3.5” x 8” rectangle for the face and legs. Add a 3.5” x 4” rectangle of dark blue into the remainingspace. Use the Placement Function to place all the pieces on their corresponding fabric and cut. Remember to keepthe paper side up when placing your fabric - I ruined a cutting mat when I was learning by accidentally placing thesticky side down! The grass is made of the machines jagged edge rectangle stretched out to 9 1/2” x 1 1/2”.
Peel off the paper backing. Place all your applique pieces on the block background, layering them as shown. Lift off all the top layersand press to adhere the pieces to the background fabric. Stitch the grass pieces first using a long straight stitch to create the look ofindividual blades. Try variegated thread for a touch of realism. Use a narrow, 3 mm satin stitch on the tail and legs. Add the body, hoofsand face. Press the body and the hoof but NOT THE FACE. Sew a basting stitch around the body one side of the face as shown. Trimaway the excess fabric under the face and under the body. Sew a satin stitch all the way around all parts. Add the ears and head.Press in place and sating stitch.

Fabrics 101 Stabilizer & Design Guide
FABRICS 101 STABILIZER & DESIGN GUIDE
When fabric is produced, manufacturers don't anticipate that anythingwill be added to it. When embroidering onto fabric, we're adding weightand tension of thread and stitches. The fabric needs to be stronger andmore "stable" to support the stitches - and that is why stabilizer is usedwith every embroidery project.
If the fabric isn't stabilized properly, you'll see less-than-stellar results.You might find shifting and gapping, puckering, dimpling, and more.Choosing the right type of design and stabilizer for your fabric is the keyto getting great results.
Below you will find a handy reference chart to help you select the rightstabilizer and needle for creating machine embroidery on a variety offabrics.

Brands of stabilizer:
Each brand and type of stabilizer has strengths and weaknesses, and everyone has their favorites. Here's what we use:
Cutaway. Choosing a soft and pliable cutaway stabilizer (nothing stiff) will bring the best results, both during embroidery and duringwear/use/laundering of the item as well. We use a 2.5 ounce cutaway called Soft-n-Stable made by Brother. We also enjoy a wide variety of theFloriani cutaway products (in particular, No-Show Mesh).
Tear-away. We get great results with Terradon Clean Tear, as well as Floriani tear-away products.
Water-Soluble. Vilene (a fibrous water-soluble product) is a dream to work with when making freestanding lace items. We've also usedSulky Ultra Solvy with excellent results.
Notes about needles: We prefer to use a size 11 sharp needle (not an embroidery needle) in all of our projects. A sharp needle has a fineand small point, whereas an embroidery needle has a rounded tip. A sharp needle will give a crisper and neater look to the stitches than anembroidery needle.
When embroidering and using a cutaway backing, you can use an embroidery needle instead of a sharp needle (the difference in the results willlikely be negligible). However, if you are using tear-away or water-soluble stabilizer (for in-the-hoop or freestanding lace projects), always use asharp needle. Using an embroidery or universal needle will rip, tear, or leave large holes in the stabilizer. That can cause misalignment issues,as well as thread looping, breaks, and other tension problems.
