July's Foot of the Month

Bernina Foot of the Month:

#39 & #39C Embroidery Foot with Clear Sole

Embroidery foot with clear sole #39/#39C is Bernina's remake of an old favorite: #6. The transparent sole of foot #39/#39C allows for a clear view at all times during sewing. This foot is extremely versatile- your perfect partner for compact decorative stitching, satin stitching, and applique. 

The additional feature of a small hole in the front of the foot makes it a perfect companion for cording, as the cord is fed directly under the needle. 

The raised channel on the underside of foot #39/#39C makes stitching with raised effects, or a dense design a breeze!

Bernina Feet of the Month:

#88 Binder attachment with #95/95C

BERNINA has an amazing deal going on this month! They're offering 25% off the purchase of a #88 Binder attachment (which comes in 3 sizes) with the #95/95C foot! 

Binder foot #95/95C is a specialized presser foot that is used in conjunction with the binder attachments. For 9mm machines, you'll use the #95C, for 5.5mm machines, the #95. The design of the foot facilitates the easy application of bias binding with the #88 attachment. 

Binder attachment #88 for use with unfolded bias tape produces even, neat binding on quilts, clothing seams, and home furnishings. It is available in three different widths: 28mm (scant 1 1/8"), 32mm (1 1/4"), and 38mm (scant 1 1/2"). 

Together, the #95/95C and binder attachment #88 work to feed the unfolded tape through the bias tape feeder, and position it accurately on the fabric's edge. It is then held securely in place until it's sewn onto the fabric. When used conjointly, these feet will make sewing bias-binding on your projects a breeze!

Foxy's Finished!

Our newest version of Scandinavian Stitches "Frosty Baby Quilt" is finished! 

We had fun with this quilt, choosing darker fabrics for a 'night time' feel. Our wonderful Wilma quilted this version with Yenmet Metallic thread to add some shimmer. She used echo quilting around the moon, and a cloud motif throughout the majority of the quilt. The snow was quilted with a wavy, swirl to add a sense of movement to it. 

                                                                       

 We love this quilt- it's so quick to sew together, and begs for your own personal touch! It's the perfect size for a wall hanging, or baby blanket but is also easily re-sized to fit any purpose! Ready to make your own? We've got kits for sale here! 

Foxy Quilt

Wilma is busy at work creating our 5th version of this ever popular quilt! We love Kajsa Wikman's book Scandinavian Stitches here at Stitched, and our customers do as well!




We've taught classes on her Frosty Baby Quilt, and have kits of our current quilt available for purchase. Many customers refer to the quilt as the 'foxy quilt', and having one hanging on our wall has become a bit of a store staple! With winter upon us, we wanted to go with a bit edgier version this time around. We're using darker fabrics, giving our quilt a nighttime feel. We're adding a moon, and using our machine quilting to give the quilt a "wintery" feel.

Here's the quilt top put together- stay tuned for a picture of the finished product after it's quilted and bound!
