When I first got my sewing machine, I new this is what I really wanted to have a go at... thread sketching or free motion sewing. It is when you sew without the machine 'feeding' the fabric through. Having free motion to draw with the thread on your fabric. I've been asked numerous times for advice on this subject but have found it very hard to explain having never done a tutorial before, but also because everyone's machines are different. free motion foot for a Brother * So, you will need a darning/free motion foot for your particular machine. Follow your instruction book on how to fit it securely. * You will also need a strong needle. * Drop/disengage the feed dogs on your machine. Usually there is a switch or lever at the back or inside. (again, follow the instructions in your manual) If there is no way to drop the feed dogs, some machines have a plastic or metal plate that comes with it to cover the feed dogs. * You don't really need to adjust the stitch length, as the speed which you move the fabric, combined with the speed you sew determines the size of the stitches. Saying that though, some machines stitch length needs to be set to 0. You will need to experiment with this. (see what I mean about it being hard to explain with us all having diff machines!) * The needle thread tension needs to be set at about 2. But again, see if this suits your machine. * Use the same colour thread for both needle and bobbin in case there are slight irregularities in tension or you'll get spotty looking lines of thread. * Move your bobbin thread through to the top before starting. Pfaff free motion foot * Then hold the top thread to the side while you sew a few stitches in one place to prevent from undoing. * Stop and put the needle into the fabric again. Then with your hands flat, lightly holding the fabric taught. Start sewing and gently guide the fabric up/down left/right. You will probably want to sew slowly at first, BUT (and this is my main piece of advice) Put your foot down at a relatively steady/almost fast pace while moving the fabric slowly. This will give you a good stitch length. If you feel you are going awry or need to readjust your grip/decide which direction you are going in next - just stop, put your needle down, lift your presser foot and see where you are at! Flower Brooch * Fast hands + slow needle = long uneven stitches * Slow hands + relatively fast needle = stitches that are just right. You will need to practice getting the right balance between how hard you put your foot down and how slowly you move the fabric. Custom made brooch * Depending on the fabric you are sewing, you may need to stabilize it with some iron on interfacing before sewing. * What ever pattern you are sewing, make sure you keep the fabric at the same angle all the time - do not twist or turn it, as this will break the needle. If you want the fabric to face another direction, put the needle down lift the presser foot and turn the fabric. Free motion and fabric paint * Using an airasable (air erasable) pen is really helpful, so that you can draw out your word or pattern straight onto the fabric. Sew over it, and then either use a clean paint brush to wipe water over it - for the markings to instantly disappear or some brands of this pen will disappear over the next day if you leave them, depending on which one you get. Just make sure you don't iron over any pen markings, as they will become permanent! Free motion and green fabric paint I hope this is helpful for you. If I've left anything out, let me know. Just have a go, practice loads and have fun with it!x

Why if your sewing machine skipping stitches? Check out these troubleshooting steps to resolve missed and skipped stitches on your project.
I just listed a new embroidery design in my shop. It’s an appliqué of letters with some cute Marimekko flowers adorning each letter. Have I ever blogged about how much I love Marimekko fabric? Well, I should because Marimekko is a staple in the modern design world. And has been for 40 (or is it 50?) years now. Yummy stuff. I want every pillow pictured here on the right. Anyway, here is a quick tutorial on how to appliqué by machine. First, hoop your fabric and sew the first stitching—this is calling the placement line. I don’t have a photo of this, sorry. Not all designs come with a placement line, although I think they should. The appliqués in my shop do because I am fancy. Second, take a scrap of cotton, heavily starch it, and lay it over the first stitching. Make sure it covers the entire stitching area. If there is a hole to cut out for a letter “e” like here, I would carefully cut a little slit in the fabric now, then lay the fabric back over the stitching line. It is very difficult to cut out the little slit later after it has been sew down. Ask me how I know. (Ruined many items this way by cutting through all the layers of fabric.) See the little slit in the center of the “e”? Now you’ll sew the 2nd stitching, called the tackdown. Now remove the hoop from the machine (do not remove the fabric from the hoop!!!) and carefully cut away the excess fabric using some cheap little applique scissors. I use some curved fiskars that I got at Wally-Mart for $5. Try to get as close as you can without cutting the stitches, duh. If you snip a stitch (or two) it’s all good. Replace the hoop, stitch out the 3rd stitching, as seen below. This is kind of a zig-zaggy stitch to cover most of your frayed edges. The 4th stitching will be the final satin stitching, seen below. This will be the only stitching that will actually show. The bare spots you see are where the flowers will be stitched out. Good designs always remove unnecessary bulky stitching underneath. If not, you’ll actually see the ‘bump’ underneath your final stitched design. Not to mention it will be thick and stiff in those areas. Ok, enough about that. Now you are ready to stitch out your cute little Marimekko flowers. All done! Well, with the embroidery part. I decided to make all my cute little linen squares into a banner. How cute did my linen ‘celebrate’ banner turn out with all the little Marimekko flowers? I sure love it. the final product:

I am 5'2" necessitating LOTS of hemming and shortening of pants, skirts, and dresses. I just can't find anything the right length. If you've ever priced the cost of professional seamstresses (and add in the time it takes to get your clothing back), it costs a fortune to have everything you buy hemmed. I learned years ago how to hem pants and skirts, but jeans always gave me grief. A couple of years ago my older sister showed me a pair of her jeans that she had hemmed professionally, and it was easy to see how it was done. The difference is that jeans typically have a worn edge. The hem is decorative, so cutting that edge off to shorten them takes away part of the character you're paying for. So I developed a tutorial for hemming jeans the way professional would. Hope you find this helpful! What you'll need: sewing machine dark thread to match the jeans iron straight pins measuring tape scissors The Process: You'll need to measure the desired length of the jeans. The easiest way I've found to do this is to have the person stand on a chair and scoot back so the heel of their shoes is even with the edge of the chair. It might be helpful to note that you definitely need to have them wear the shoes they'd typically wear with the jeans. I prefer to hem the jeans to the ground. So, using a safety pin or water-soluble marking pen, mark the desired length (in my case, where the shoe ends and the chair begins). Next, measure the amount you'll need to shorten them from the edge of the current hem to the mark you've made. In the jeans in this tutorial, they needed to be shortened 2 1/2 inches. Lay the jeans flat on a hard surface, and measure up the desired length (2 1/2 inches here) from the stitching on the current hem. Since the current hem will remain in place, that half inch or so will also remain. So, if you measure from the edge of your jeans, they'll still be a half an inch too long after hemming. Make sense? Now place a straight pin to mark. Next you'll fold the edge of your jeans up into a cuff matching the current stitching to just above the pin like this. Pin in place. To check your accuracy, divide your total amount needed to shorten (2 1/2 inches for me) by 2 (equalling 1 1/4 inches in my case). Measure from the fold to just under the current stitching making sure this amount is half of the amount you need to take it in. Next, keeping this length consistent, pin all the way around the cuff. Measure as you go to make sure you're still consistent. Repeat these steps on the second leg. When both legs are securely pinned, move the pants to your sewing machine. Carefully stitch in the ditch just along the fold of the current hem. Make sure to get as close to this fold as possible being careful not to sew on top of it or across the current stitching. Stitch all the way around backstitching where you stop and start. Repeat this step for the other leg. Remove your jeans from the machine, and turn the cuff up to the inside of the leg like this. With a steaming hot iron, press this new seam from the inside all the way around each leg. Now turn the pants inside-out revealing the new cuff on the inside of the leg. Using super sharp scissors, cut the cuff about a quarter inch from your stitching. Turn the jeans right-side-out, and iron again if necessary to reveal your finished hem. Easy, and your seam is almost invisible! As always, please feel free to comment with questions, and I'll do my best to answer.

Confused by all the machine embroidery terms you are encountering? I'm breaking down the most common embroidery and applique terms and acronyms.
Wonderfil DecoBob thread is very fine yet surprisingly strong, meaning it's perfect for blending into your projects without compromising the longevity of your seams. DecoBob is made from cottonized polyester—thread that has undergone treatment to reduce stretch and shine, behaving similarly to natural cotton. Use DecoBob in your bobbin to ensure the lower thread is invisible when topstitching, embroidering, and decorative sewing stitches. All Prewound Wonderfil Bobbins are filled with DecoBob thread. Used in the needle, DecoBob produces flatter seams when piecing, giving quilts and similar projects a more clean, polished look. DecoBob makes gorgeous machine embroidery and lacework. Because the thread is so fine, you will be able to see all of the details in your beautiful designs. DecoBob will be supple and noticeably softer.
