This show has three segments. First, you'll see Emily Thompson finish fashionable kids T-shirts more than one way. Next, you'll learn to perfect the art of needle turn appliqué with Rebecca Kemp Brent. In the final "quick tip" segment I'll share some secrets for creating embroidered lace jewelry.
Emily excels at making cute children's clothing! With a boy and a girl of her own she has ideal "in house" models for testing and perfecting clothes that kids love to wear.
In this show you'll see how to finish the neckline on a raglan sleeve style shirt. Visit the show website HERE, for a link to Emily's free boys and girls T-shirt pattern sized from 18 months to ten years old.
Emily demonstrates and discusses her construction method for this type of T-shirt. The technical construction term would be the flat method, which frees you from having to stitch around a small neckline. This is a fast way to sew a knit shirt that has binding on the neck.
I invite you to CLICK HERE and take a look at my own version of flat T-shirt construction using a serger for the entire process That post also includes instructions on how to use the serger blind hem foot for a stretchy blind hem that looks neat inside and out.
Twin needle stitching also features prominently in Emily's segment. You can read a post I wrote a while back with twin needle tips HERE. If you have a Brother machine you'll find even more tips in this post HERE.

Next up is Rebecca Kemp Brent. Prepare to be amazed by Rebecca’s appliqué tips and tricks! Watch and listen closely as she demonstrates needle turn appliqué.
Knowing Rebecca, she's tested and tried the notions and methods she touts before ever recommending them to you. The experience she shares will guide you to good results with this timeless technique.
Be sure to look up her PDF of instructions that coordinate with the show. These instructions are on the TV site right HERE.
The show concludes with my own quick tips for machine embroidered lace jewelry. It's so much fun to make something from minimal supplies such as thread and stabilizer.
It's especially fun to make jewelry in any color you desire! I choose non-metallic silver and gold for my samples. Each design you se here is from a Brother collection available on USB. CLICK HERE for show #1603 instructions to learn more about this collection. It comes on a USB ready to use in Brother machines but has the potential to be imported into embroidery software for conversion to other formats. I would also suggest that you check your own built in design menu. I know the Brother Dream2 8550D has several lace jewelry designs built in.
