​1101 – Style on the Edge
The first episode of this new online series starts with some great basics and ends with some inspirational ideas for using border prints in interesting ways.

This show begins with my friend Rebecca teaching seam finishes for a variety of sewing situations. 

Sleek seam finishes are a sure sign of quality construction in any sewing project. Even if you have sewn for years you are sure to learn seam finishing techniques you have never tried.  I suggest you pay close attention the first time you watch, and then make some samples while watching the segment a second time. ​

Next up, you'll see me present a quick style tip for embroidering on knits.

Lacy Floral - July 2015 Free Design of the month

I used one of my favorite techniques, reverse appliqué. This time around it is done entirely in the hoop using a beautiful Brother embroidery design that's ideal for this reverse appliqué technique.
