This fun and inspiring show begins with Donna Babylon making a portable pet blanket.
Picture
Donna is self-confessed passionate pet Mom, with a love not only for her own furry babies but also with a caring heart for abandoned and stray pets! But that's another story for another day ;-) Today I'd like to fill you in on Donna's travel ready Pet Projects, pun intended :-)
This magic tote that transforms into an easy to carry folding pet bed. Her added appliqué trims a pocket that's perfect for treats or other travel essentials.
Picture
The iron-on WOOF! comes from her variety of collections at www.sayitwithapplique.com. The outside of this piece features super cute novelty cotton from Ink and Arrow Fabrics. The inside is what might easily be called the softest fabric found in contemporary fabrics. Distributed by Shannon Fabrics, Cuddle® reminds me of baby bunny fur. Their motto is quiet descriptive of the variety of fabrics they offer . . . "Making the world a softer place." FABRIC.COM has a great selection of their soft fabrics if you can't find them locally.

Picture
You'll see the walking foot featured in this segment. It is absolutely ideal for stitching layers that are totally unlike one another, such as the combination of Ink and Arrow cotton and the textured chevron Cuddle® fabric.

Speaking of soft, Angela Wolf's project for this week's show is a hooded towel made from cotton and microfiber towels. Just like the previous project, this involves mixing two very opposite types of fabrics. This is often the source of a tricky sewing operation. When it comes to tricky sewing, one tool that will work for EVERYONE is a definitely a walking foot.

​Often relegated to the quilting category, in my opinion this foot is one of the best-kept secrets for those who sew anything and everything that fits into the category of "tricky." You can CLICK HERE to read and download my free tip sheet with information and ideas for taking advantage of the wonders of the walking foot.

Next up in show 1209 . . . Focus on the Fringe foot

In the final, short segment of the show you'll see me demonstrate fringe trim made with the Fringe Foot. This foot has been around for quite some time and makes it easy to add embellishments using nothing more than the Fringe Foot and thread, either ordinary or decorative. 
    Step 1) Zigzag Stitch       Step 2) Triple Straight Stitch
Picture
Picture
To form fringe I used a two-step process using two basic stitches. In step one the fringe is formed with a wide, short, loose zigzag stitch. In step two a triple straight stitch anchors the loops so they can be cut to form fringe.
