Go Everywhere: It's Sew Easy TV Show 1307

Show 1307 is full of solid sewing advice. Just two teachers are featured this week so each segment shows project steps in great detail. ​
Picture
Children's fashion designer Carla Macklin shows you how to cut and sew custom bias trim in the first segment. 

Picture
You'll see this bias trim as an accent on her darling dresses for little girls. Learn how to add this binding and you'll want to apply it to many clothing and craft items. Carla starts with a square of fabric, cuts bias strips, and then sews them together at a 90-degree angle to make longer lengths. To form the folded strips she uses a tool that came from the toolbox of her very own Grandmother.

I suggest you visit Dritz Notions for a modern day bias tape maker along with some great Dritz tutorials for cutting, pressing, and even determining the amount of yardage you'll need for bias strips in many different lengths.

CLICK HERE to see yet another tutorial showing a quick way to make long lengths of bias. This one shows bias for making custom piping but the same principle can be applied to bias strips for other projects.

Making a beautiful fabric box is the topic of the next segment with Rebecca Kemp Brendt.  This custom crafted box is good for memories and treasures brought home from vacation or to hold a special gift.
Picture
Rebecca has designed more classy craft projects than anyone else I know! Not only is she a fantastic designer, she is known for clear, concise instructions that allow you to re-create without frustration as she explains steps in a manner that is always easy to understand.
Picture
Picture
I encourage you to listen and watch carefully. Rebecca dishes out some important fusing facts while using an interesting product for the stiff base, and then offers tips for shaping the corners and finishing with tacking and button sewing tips.

By the way, you'll find even more tutorials and projects produced by Rebecca on the official Brother blog at blog.brothersews.com.

Without further delay, CLICK HERE to go and watch the show. This currently airs until February 9th, 2018  - noon EST.

Hi Linda! You have a great machine with lots of potential. Are you seeking to quilt use more traditional methods on the sewing side of the machine or are you interested in quilting in the hoop on the embroidery side?
