Quilting puts a smile on my face and a song in my heart!
Handmade designs, furniture, artworks and recycled crafts created with recycled materials have been a part of home decorating since ancient times
Saba TKT 50 is a premium-quality thread suitable for heavy-duty applications, topstitching and general use when a tough thread is required. SABA 50 is often used on heavy fabrics such as denim and canvas but can be used in a wide range of applications. Saba 50 has a thick texture and is core-spun polyester which makes it a durable thread with excellent sew-ability and lasting colour fastness. Colour is indicative only. Variations will occur due to device and screen settings.
Fat Quarters are ideal for small sewing projects. All you need are a few fat quarters and the ability to sew a straight stitch. #fatquarterprojects #howtousefatquarters #quiltingtips #howtoquilt
Baby Lock's Sashiko Specialty Sewing Machine has the unique ability to replicate a hand-stitched look. Sashiko is a traditional hand embroidery technique using a long needle and thick thread to create decorative topstitches. The Sashiko features a specialized needle system and adjustable stitch length and spacing settings, all used to replicate hand embroidery. A specialty stitch mode allows you to create decorative couching, braiding, cross-stitching, and attaching trims. The specialty stitch mode lets you control the stitches and spacing, which can be adjusted between 2mm and 5mm. You can also adjust the height of the presser foot for fluid, free-motion embroidery sewing. Built-in accessory storage lets you keep tools close at hand, too. Use the Baby Lock Sashiko Specialty Sewing Machine with special sashiko thread, embroidery floss, or cotton embroidery thread; 30-weight or lighter. Free Bonus Accessories The FREE bonus accessory bundle, valued at $250 includes a broad selection of Aeroquilt Variegated Thread (3000yd Spools), a 60-day trial of Baby Lock's SewEd Classes, and a 18" x 24" Acrylic Extension Table. Love of Sewing Membership (Optional) Enjoy the peace of mind, knowing your machine is covered with a Love of Sewing Membership. This membership is a comprehensive service, support, and maintenance program that protects your machine for an additional four years. You get yearly maintenance and support from Baby Lock-certified technicians, so you’ll never have to worry while you sew. Stay current on the latest tips and tricks with unlimited access to Baby Locks online SewEd Classes taught by Baby Lock Education experts. Babylock currently has over 2,000 classes, with new ones being introduced regularly! Your membership has three components: Love of Knowledge, the Service Program, and the Savings Opportunities. When combined, these components enable you to maximize the performance of your new Baby Lock. SIDE LOADING BOBBIN As with most quilting machines, the BLQK2 has a side-loading, oscillating bobbin system that makes for easy replacement. It uses Class 15 bobbins that hold more thread so that you can go longer between bobbin replacements. To access the bobbin while sewing, the machine has an easy-open cover that allows timely access to remove and load new bobbins. The Sashiko also includes a built-in bobbin! Free-flow Sewing & Lights The adjustable presser foot height allows ease of turning fabric stitching circles, squares, and other shapes for complete control. The entire needle area is surrounded by a lighting system for maximum illumination. PRESSER FOOT PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT This is a must-have feature for those serious about creating the perfect stitch. This dial allows you to adjust the force exerted on your fabric by the presser foot, which improves how your fabric is fed through your machine. It also prevents unsightly puckering and stretching on difficult-to-sew fabrics. Stitch Lenght & Spacing The stitch length lever and the stitch spacing lever are conveniently located on the right side of the front panel. You will notice there are two sets of numbers ranging from 2 (shortest) through 5 (longest) for each lever. One range is for the stitch length, which forms the actual stitch on top of the fabric. The other one is for the stitch spacing, which is the distance between the actual stitches. Slide the stitch length lever and the stitch spacing lever up or down to your desired setting by aligning the lever's pointed extension with the markings indicated on the machine. The levers do not have to be set at identical settings. Specialty Stitch Mode Complete control of stitch and spacing is essential for decorative techniques such as braiding, couching, cross-stitching, and adding trim. Now, with the specialty stitch mode, a complete cycle of one single stitch and space allows the control you need when single-stitch sewing is desired. Precise Sashiko Stitches A specialty needle, working in conjunction with a latch wire system, forms defined stitches and precise spacing to create an authentic hand-stitched look. LED MONITOR This unique system allows you to easily recognize when the needle is creating a stitch or a space. The blue LED light indicates a space, and a stitch will form every time the foot control is pressed. The green LED light indicates that the next time the needle penetrates the fabric there will be an actual stitch formed. The orange LED light indicates that the next time the needle penetrates the fabric the stitch space will be created. BUILT-IN STORAGE Enjoy the extra storage space in the auxiliary bed of your BLQK2. You can keep needles, bobbins, thread, and more. The built-in storage allows you to keep all your sewing accessories secure and makes it easier to transport them. LEARN IT. KNOW IT. SEW IT. First time using a sewing machine, long arm, or serger? Want to hone your skills and learn new sewing techniques? Looking to create some fun projects? Baby Lock has you covered! With a variety of webinars, online classes, and instructional videos, you'll be up to speed in no time at all. 25 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY The Sashiko comes with a factory warranty, which gives you the ultimate piece of mind with your purchase.

We actually haven’t shared a project using this technique in a couple years. Crazy how the time flies! If you’ve never tried needle felting before, you’ll probably be happy to know that the basics are SUPER simple. You don’t have to have any sewing skills whatsoever—you just need the ability to poke holes and choose…
November/December 2023 If you can’t see it, you can’t be it. The importance of role models can’t be overestimated, especially for emerging makers. As a new graduate over thirty years ago, I was fortunate to benefit from talented teachers and advocates whose belief in my ability far outstretched my own; Chrissie White and Mary Schoeser are familiar names in the textile world, but our community is peppered with such pioneers whose vision and tenacity have impacted society beyond their immediate circle. In this issue, we spotlight these unsung heroes: Jenny Tiramani, the principal of the School of Historic Dress, whose force of personality galvanised a team of enthusiasts to create a world-leading institution. Dan Driscoll, the founder of The Anou, developed a computer system based on pictograms to give illiterate artisans in Morocco agency over selling their work to a global audience. The founders of NGOs in Kutch, India, who have worked tirelessly for decades to elevate and preserve the region’s unique crafts and eliminate exploitation. Others, such as Her Majesty Queen Azizh of Malaysia’s Royal Pahang Weaving prison project, use their privileged platform to benefit others. We celebrate these individuals whose tenacity has turned their passion to good use. Over the last decade, we have seen entrepreneurs and influencers take centre stage as the monetising of crafts has come to represent success in our community. Some early adopters have garnered a large following, as described by Beth Wingarder in her article Historic Clothing Come Back and we thank them for enriching our lives. It is a seductive ideology that declares anyone and everyone can achieve work-life balance by pumping their passion for profit. The trend exacerbated by the cost of living crisis, accessibility of platforms such as Etsy and Folksy, the romanticised version of the life of craftspeople portrayed on Instagram and the minimal financial outlay needed to initiate textile crafts. This is only part of the story. The labour innate to many textile crafts conflicts with the profit motive, killing the joy and leaving makers working long hours to fulfill orders for little remuneration. I am inspired by Dr. Christine Millar, who states that sewing as a hobby allows her to engage in art on her terms. The idea that something beautiful only has value once sold makes me question the value our society places on making. I leave you with some food for thought – can textile crafts have value solely because they give us pleasure, define our identity, and make us feel fulfilled, or do we have to register a domain name every time we start a new knitting project? With this issue, I grant our readers permission to potter. Polly Leonard, Founder Published 15 October This issue went to press on 30 September, before the recent events in the Middle East.
