The Avid Embroiderer Presents - The Zen of Mars

Everyone who has been on this site for more than a short time is aware of Susan Mars and her wonderful embroidery blanks from AllAboutBlanks. When I asked her to do a blog about her, she modestly said it would not be very interesting. How wrong she was!!! I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. I laughed...

What the Stabilizer Sellers Won't Tell You

With that title line, I am thinking that there are hundreds and hundreds of things they won't tell you, but I will zoom in on a few of my personal favorites, in no particular order: Those prices - unbelievably, are way overpriced. This one reminds me of cosmetics, if you figure out the real price...

This is only a test . . . Part 2

I kept thinking about my last project that failed. I am always excited about presenting project that are really great, but a failure is giving me some uncomfortable feelings. I did retry the design but got the same results, failure of the stitching. . I should have been suspicious when I saw that the...

Favorite Fonts Galore!

I’m often asked about the fonts we choose for various projects, and folks are sometimes surprised when they find out some of my most favorite fonts—the ones I go to over and over again—are fonts digitized by AnnTheGran herself! If you search the www.annthegran.com website for items...

No More Excuses!

I am so delighted to say that I belong to a group of enthusiastic embroiderers who meet once every month to laugh, share and learn from each other. According to Oprah (and Goldie Hawn who was her guest that day), if you attend and participate in a monthly club/group with a common interest, your over...

Re: PE700 Instructions Area

Sarah - you are not a DORK, you are a newbie! Since you have gotten your machine through the mail, you need to find a local embroidery shop (machine is understood) to find help and a possible group to learn and share with. Read your manual, but it does not over embroidery, it covers the machine. Become...

Back to School, TGIBTS

It may be true that in the spring, a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. However, it is autumn that has a parental dance called, Thank Goodness it is Back to School.

A terrific freebie and a wonderful cost saver

I would read more if I could find the time. Since I have found “ Books Should Be Free ” I felt I could listen when I was embroidering or relaxing in the evenings. This site has public domain audio in MP3 which is iTunes playable. You can take them with you or listen from your PC. Of course...

Re: Minky Fabric

Chris in Washington - Since you specifically asked - I personally (as The Avid Embroiderer), and totally recommend and USE AnnTheGran WSS Adhesive Stabilizer. If you are a club member, and it DOES pay for itself, you only pay $16.99 for the big size, a bargain. That stabilizer is among the best I have...
