This week you’ll see sewing and embroidery go from ordinary to extraordinary! Three expert instructors teach practical and decorative techniques on It’s Sew Easy TV Episode 710. Watch online from February 28th to March 6th. Read my preview and you'll find a direct link to the show posted below.
Part One: Angela will show you how to make what I call a WOW garment. It’s a simple jacket style revved up with shiny appliqués. Using a technique featured on a previous show, she adds fusible webbing to fabric and then uses the Brother ScanNCut machine to cut appliqué shapes for a border design. The resulting jacket is a real work of art.
Part Two: Marie Zinno demonstrates how easy it is to create a chic sporty garment with over the shoulder embroidery. When it comes to embroidery on garments proper placement is critical for a professional finished look. Marie will teach you the value of templates for precise placement of a motif.
I've been a fan of templates since I touched the screen of my first embroidery machine many years ago. Only thing is, way back then embroidery software wasn't available for the home sewing market. I used a rather tedious method that involved stitching a sample design and then tracing it off onto clear plastic. While this method had merit, today’s technology makes it easy to print templates and stitch perfectly placed designs. There are many affordable software programs available for embroidery that include the ability to print paper templates. Looking for additional info?
