  • Leftover Minky and those Elusive Binks

    A friend gave me some leftover 5" squares of minky fabric the other day. There were not enough to make a quilt so I pondered what to do with them. In the meantime someone stepped on the clip that held the baby's pacifier so it didn't get lost. She really only gets it when she is in the car...

  • Keeping It Simple - Embroidered Baby T-shirts for Cool Summer Fun

    I am not sure why but many of our favorite shops for infant clothes have gone out of business over the past year or so. These shops featured handmade items that were unique but really reasonable in price. In the past, when life was too busy to sew we frequently bought clothes for the girls at these cute...

  • Re: embroidering on purchased baby blanket

    I would suggest a tear away stabilizer under the blanket and a Solvy wash away on top of the hooped blanket. I have used this technique frequently with the fuzzy/fleecy baby blankets with excellent results; however I have not tried the minky/polyester satin one. I would urge you to choose a font that...

  • Re: why does everything "sink" into the fabric?

    There are many ideas about stabilizers and the really best way to determine your requirements is to do your test sew out on a fabric as nearly like your destination towels or blankets as you can find. For myself, I use Badgemaster on the bottom and a light weight water soluble on the top. I was surprised...

  • Re: why does everything "sink" into the fabric?

    Shawn - You have a really great machine and I hope you will keep working toward the results you desire. I was at a class on Monday with a embroidery machine master technician who owns two embroidery shops here in San Diego. Mike has over 30 years of sewing/embroidery machine workings, repair and products...
