Stitching with Metallic Thread

Sewing with metallic threads can sometimes be a bit tricky. But with a few tips from the pros anyone can add a bit of sparkle to their embroidery project.

Using a good metallic thread like Floriani Premium Metallic. It helps to provide the thread with plenty of unraveling room---use a freestanding thread holder set a good distance from your machine. If you haven't been to the sewing center to obtain the thread holder and need to get your project done now, try placing the spool on the floor and threading it up to your machine.

And if you're in the market for a new sewing machine take a look at a Husqvarna Viking Designer Diamond Deluxe or Designer Ruby Deluxe with the unique deluxe Stitch System only available from Husqvarna Viking. This stitch system automatically handles the unique properties of metallic threads for you for trouble free stitching.

Feel free to post a question in the comment section of the blog and our team of experts will provide answers on future posts. Keep sewing!

        

Sewing up Your Hearts and Kisses

I once asked a new Designer Diamond owner what she embroidered when she first took her Diamond home. She said she embroidered pillow cases, towels, and just about everything she had in the house. And when she ran out of household items she embroidered hearts on her husbands underwear.

The hearts could have been a private moment of love between a husband and a wife except that the husband was a fireman who had to dress in front of other fireworkers sporting his snazzy shorts!

Such is life with Husqvarna Viking Sewing enthusiast! We just love Valentine's Day and the projects are being sewn at our classes at the sewing center. We have so many---make sure you check our calendar because we are adding all sorts of wonderful projects.

If you can't make it to a class we often have the patterns of projects in the store. Come see us, email, or visit our website. And if you need even more inspiration don't forget the holiday scrubbies---the Valentine's scrubbie and matching towel applique are favorites!

And adding lips to a pillow, bedside caddy, or other project places a kiss just where someone will need it like in our caddy project shown here.


And there are plenty of inspirational projects from around the web so shoot over to our Pinterest page and be inspired.

And while your at the store picking up a pattern, design, or taking a class be sure to pick up the tools to make your project go smoother---like one of the new small (80mm x 80mm)hoops for those tight spots in smaller areas where you need those lips and kisses to go.

And for those binding projects----make it easier with a binding foot---watch this video to see just how easy sewing binding to a project can be:

 

Come in and see us for your sewing supplies for all your hearts and kisses.

For the Host or Hostess---Gifts to Sew

Candy Ornament table runner

Sewing something for the hostess (or host) of that holiday party or gathering is a thoughtful way of saying thank you for all the hardwork that went into planning, cooking, and cleaning. And these gifts are fast and easy---made in as little as an hour or two, depending on your skill and tools available. So don't forget a little something for that hostess---you'll be the most thoughtful guest on the list.


Matching Applique towel

Hostess gift one---bring two holiday scrubbies and complimentary dish towels and help with the clean up. The design CD has holiday designs for virtually every holiday of the year so you can use it over and over again to keep your house and those chores fun all year long.



Scrubbie

I love cloth napkins---don't you? And in just two minutes you can have fabric edged with one of the Husqvarna/Viking Sergers. So easy to take a yard or two of fun holiday fabric and turn it into napkins that can be brought out with every holiday.


 




Holiday table runners and trivets make great hostess gifts. Not only will they eliminate the scramble to find something to protect that fine table from your hot casserole but they will help create a festive table too. And we have so many designs and patterns in the store to help you out.

And a set of coasters will come in handy to protect that sofa table from that holiday punch. Cover old, unusable CD's and DVD's with embroidery and voila!

    And one of my favorites are the chocolate towels, using the Lunchbox quilt's fun Chocolate design CD. Embroider recipe's onto ready made towels for a quick and easy right there in the hoop gift. (CD is only $29.95 for a limited time!)

And don't you use the same recipes from your recipe books each year? Why not mark the pages with some festive holiday bookmarks---embroidered right on Aqua Magic stabilizer---no trimming of those edges; just a quick swish in warm water after embroidery and there's your bookmark ready to go.

Don't have a sewing machine yet that will perform these works of magic? Come in and see us. Now is the best time to get your Husqvarna/Viking Diamond or Ruby---with 0% interest financing for a very limited time only.(see the store for details.)
