Midwest Sewing & Vacuum demonstration

Monday, November 15th, 2010

Saturday, the staff of Midwest Sewing & Vacuum was kind enough to invite me to visit

with their customers and answer questions about fabric and pattern design.

Midwest Sewing & Vacuum

I would like to thank Jean & Judy for their hard work in setting up a

lovely refreshment area with a beautiful linen table cloth, crochet doily and pretty

floral china plates for guests to enjoy!   All very nice and well done!! 

In the Nest and Baby Business fabrics, Jackie Clark for Benartex

They have so generously placed my display models made from my patterns and books in

Benartex fabrics right in the front window for several weeks now!

My sister, Tamara Gonzales came and took some pictures for me to share with you.

Bernina 820 BSR

Jeff Gordon was on hand answering all the important, technical questions about the machines! 

I demonstrated on the Bernina machines with the ruffler attachment,  and also the BSR;

 Bernina Stich Regulator (the machine stitches when you move your quilt under the needle!) 

I wish everyone could have it on their machines when quilting.

Little Flower Pocket Top and Britches & Bloomers

I also showed decorative stitches & threads that I like to use on pockets and hems.

I want to thank everyone for all their help and kindness, and to the

guests who visited with  me about their sewing hobby.

I hope you had a happy weekend!

Bernina BSR quilting attachment

Jackie Clark, sewing, Bernina BSR

I have been practicing quilting with the new Bernina Stitch Regulator, what an amazing attachment!  It allows you to free-motion quilt without using the foot pedal!  When you move the fabric, it regulates the speed of stitching by how fast you move your hands.  I am practicing, practicing, practicing so I can do more quilting.

I am taking a class at Midwest Sewing on July 31st to learn more.  I love taking classes!  I will be taking several this year to improve my skills.

BERNINA JOY!

There are all kinds of joy in life, joy of motherhood, joy of first love, joy of friendship.  But there is another joy, Bernina Joy.

The wonderful delight of working on a machine that sews effortlessly!  I have been getting to know my new machine and have been testing it quite thoroughly.  I can’t say enough how much I love my new Aurora 440!
