Hello
This week I have been working on the Brother Innovis V5, and in particular the Embroidery aspect of it. I have just completed a bag which is one of the projects for a class this week. Appliqué in the hoop is so easy on an Embroidery Machine and if you are passing the shop call in or keep checking our Facebook page for videos and finished projects.
Brother have a number of Special Offers which include the Innovis V5 reduced by £200 plus Free Premium Packs 1 & 2, and the Innovis 800E is reduced from £1299 to £999. Call in for a demo or give us a call for more information.
This week in store we have had a number of New arrivals from Prym. The Pom-Pom maker is not only fun, and slightly addictive, but fabulous as embellishments on Bags, cushions and more.
The Prym Vario Pliers are brilliant, they use both plastic and metal snaps and are great for bag closures, duvets and as I witnessed at the Festival of Quilts a ladies skirts that had the snaps down the front.
We also have the Thread Cutter, brilliant to cut threads whilst travelling, and we even tested it on wool and embroidery threads and it worked, and the Prym Needle Twister which include 15 gold eye needles.
The Class Lists have been updated until October if you can travel to the shop, and don’t forget there is still a 30% Discount on Fabric, Fabric Panels and Fabric Fat Packs in store and on the website.
This Sunday 26th August, Kim is on @Hochanda TV at 8am and 11am with Six Penny Memories.
Happy Sewing and have a fabulous Bank Holiday weekend.

Machine Embrodiery Bag
Hello,
Have you seen the photo of the machine embroidery bag? If not have a look, it's beautiful!
Kim has used the Sweet Pea Designs downloadable pattern. She chose the beautiful red linen fabric to give the bag a slightly heavier weight than cotton fabric. To make the bag stand up Vlieseline style-vil has been used in the middle which gives the bag body and makes it sturdy. If you squash the bag the style vil will spring back so the bag won't get all crumpled. Kim also used Vlieseline deco-vil light. To do the embroidery on the bag Kim used Vlieseline Stitch and Tear and Brother embroidery threads.
Brother Embrodiery threads are £2.30.
Vlieseline Style-Vil is £8 per metre.
Stitch and Tear is £3.50 per metre.
Visit our Facebook page for photos.
