Are you ready for a show with inspiring ideas for sewing neat necklines, embellishing fabric with machine embroidery, and decorating most anything with edge-joined laces, ribbon, fabric, and more? This week's show has it all!
Rebecca is back with some great tips and precise instructions for finishing necklines that look better than the best of ready to wear. Watch this show for multiple ideas you can use for designer style necklines. I bet you will seldom use pattern directions with oh-so- ordinary facings ever again. Her steps are crystal clear and are sure to transform your next neckline.
Angela embroiders fabric for an all over effect that you can use to create your own special yardage. Use the fabric to sew dressy gowns like those that were popular in the 1930's.
At the end of the show you'll see a short segment where I present projects suited for the Edge Joining Foot. This popular foot is essential for heirloom sewing where laces and trims are attached in neat rows to create fancy bands for both baby and adult heirloom items. I borrowed the gorgeous collar and dress form my friend Lynn Lunoe. These delicate pieces are simply beautiful aren't they?!?
I used the "lightning" stitch to join lace to lace.
My different decorative stitches will work for this technique but you need the stitch to skip over the center blade of the foot without coming into contact with it. Oftentimes I find it necessary to increase the width and length of the stitch so it is not too heavy or bulky when applied to the fabric and trim.
Stitches can be rather simple in shape. Some of my favorites from the Brother Dream Machine are pictured here.
This show currently airs from noon on January 22 to noon on January 29.
