This week on It's Sew Easy you'll learn to Quilt a Kaleidoscope and Sew Shirring with a serger and elastic thread. It's Sew Easy TV Episode 709 is online from February 20th to February 27th. Read my preview below. You'll find a direct link for the show at the end of this week's preview.
Part One: In this segment Jeanie and Rebecca team up and show you all you need to know to create a quilted kaleidoscope appliqué shape.
So, how do you go from simple doodles to this beautiful lacy design? It takes just few easy steps: Draw, color, scan, and cut. Here you'll see how you can accomplish intricate, accurate cutting, faster than you can find your favorite pair of scissors. Kaleidoscope Collections Software is the starting point for creating this design. Use the piece to make a pillow, quilt, wallhanging, or decorate a one-of-a-kind garment. Wait until you see the possibilities presented by these two talented and knowledgeable sewing instructors!
In this project a machine takes the place of tedious cutting by hand. Certainly there are many tools and techniques for cutting today. You always have the good old fashioned choice of scissors. However, if you cut much at all, you will appreciate the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of an electronic cutter like this one. You're seeing a lot of programs featuring the
Brother ScanNCut Electronic Cutting Machine. In part that's because no other cutter to date has a built-in option allowing you to scan and then cut most anything you can imagine. I encourage you to research a bit more and see if this invention would improve the progress of your own sewing projects. You can decide for yourself if ScanNCut deserves a spot in your personal sewing space.

Part Two: Angela shows how to serge rows of shirring with a cover Hem Serger and elastic thread. This is a very interesting technique and one you’ll often find on ready to wear garments. There are actually several ways to accomplish this technique and I have tried them all with great results. With a cover hem serger the elastic rows look exactly like you see in “store bought” garments. The featured cover hem serger here is Brother Model 2340CV. This is a dedicated cover stitch machine but it can perform many different tasks.
