And speaking of notions and aftermarket sewing machine accessories, you're probably wondering what you're going to need to go with your new embroidery machines. Here are a few items to consider:

• Stabilizer---Now is the time to stock up on a variety of stabilizers so that you'll have the correct one available for any project that you want to do this fall and holiday season. Whether you're monogramming gift towels, stitching an heirloom quilt, or creating that gorgeous holiday door decoration, you'll want to start your project with the correct stabilizer. Stop by our website and consider all the choices, then come into the store and take advantage of our sale. Not sure which stabilizer to use for your project? Come see us! Our experts are always here to help.

•  Needles---Be sure to change your needle often and make sure that you are using the correct needle for your project. If you own a Diamond, your machine will tell you which needle is the best for your project. Make sure you have a variety of needles on hand for trouble free sewing. View some of the choices available here. 

• Feet, feet, feet. Some of us need just a little bit more help keeping our stitches straight, our seams stitched evenly, and our quilts sandwiches unbubbled---and there's a foot to help you no matter what issues you're experiencing. As you're learning to sew and use your machine having an additional aid can take a project to spectacular. Try an aftermarket foot for your machine.

Shine with the Sapphire 875Q Sewing Machine!

The Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 875Q is a machine specifically designed for quilting. And those special quilting features can make every fashionista's job easier. So, if you're looking for an all purpose sewing machine with an eye toward maybe making a quilt in the future, consider the Sapphire 875Q.

This machine comes with your own personal advisor built right in. Enter your type and weight of fabric you're using for your project and the machine will tell you what foot, stitch length, and width is optimal. You'll also get information on what needle to use and if you need to stabilize your desired stitch---and there's 100 special stitches to choose from.  

And whether you're making a quilt for that new baby in the family or stitching up a designer jacket that would make Chanel envious, having a lot of room to move your project around is essential. The Sapphire boasts a large sewing surface---one of the biggest in its class:

Another Husqvarna Viking exclusive is the sensor foot that gives the pressure foot the optimal setting to move your project through the machine keeping your stitches even and precise without the issues you might have with other machines. This feature helps so much with heavy project: denims and quilts. And it will also help with that silky cocktail dress or scarf. Whatever the challenges that occur in your project your machine intuitively helps you get the best results.

There's also some special features you may not have considered that make sewing so simple and easy you'll wonder how you ever did without them. For example the selective thread cutter can really save you a lot of trouble and time.

As you can see, the Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 875Q sewing machine is a great, all purpose sewing machine, perfect for quilts, but made to do all your projects. It comes with our new owner's classes and support; we want you to know how to use all its features. We will be here for you through the lifetime of your machine.

Come see us during our Christmas in July sale and receive a $300 quilt kit full of goodies absolutely free with your purchase of the Sapphire 875Q.

      

  

 

    

The Unbeatable Walking Foot!

Do you have issues with your fabric going through your machine? Sewing a silky fabric? Having problems with your layers not feeding evenly? Thick fabric catching? Denim not feeding through?

Then try an even feed/dual feed foot. This foot, sometimes called a walking foot, will help you out with all the issues above. This foot has its own set of feed dogs that work in unison with the machine's feed dogs and feed those difficult issues right through.

The walking foot is available for just about every brand of machine. And it's a handy foot even for the routine sewing tasks. If there is one foot that you plan to purchase for your machine consider the walking foot. Pictured is the Husqvarna Viking model made for number 7 machines in the Designer line. This particular model comes with its own snap on feet for all kinds of tasks.

More simple models of the walking foot are available for Singers and other models. Come in and see us and we'll set you up. Be sure to bring in your sewing machine's make and model number. Bringing along your machine's general purpose foot will allow our staff to better match up what you need for your particular model.

And this month during our annual Christmas in July sale, your foot just may be on sale! Come in and see us today. You'll be amazed how this foot makes all those pesky issues go away.

It's Christmas in July!

We're having our annual Christmas in July sale and festivities!
