Quilt Sampler NewsCan you believe it? It seems like the grueling heat of the summer just ended and now the holidays are just around

the corner. Time to get busy on those projects—you know, the ones I vow to start in January…Oh well. But it’s a good thing I waited this year. There are all kinds of great gift ideas that we just found. Like the Necessories pattern from Patterns by Annie--it has all kinds of ideas for bags and wallets and eyeglass cases that will be GREAT for all those gifty things. (Unless I decide to keep them for myself!) You can do the whole set from 4 fat quarters and 1/2 yard of Soft and Stable. If you haven’t tried the Soft and Stable, it’s this wonderful lining for bags that is lightweight but gives them a professional look. And can you ever have enough bags?

Don’t forget to stop by the store and fill out your wish-list. We have a gift registry (kind of like for brides!) that we keep in the computer so when your loved ones come in, we can send them home with the perfect gift for you. So do them a favor, come in and pick out those kits, books, machines, etc. that you’ve been dreaming of. And it never hurts to get a few little items for yourself….

Please call and sign up so that we will know how many to expect. FREE

Embroidery Take Out/Design Studio

Embroidery Take Out has been great, but all good things do come to an end. Effective Dec 31, 2011 ETO will be discontinued. If you have any blank CD’s you will need to get them burned before the end of the year. Design Studio will replace ETO. It is the same great designs as ETO with more! Now you will be able to purchase a single design at a time, entire de-sign packs and new design packs at price points starting at $9.99! With Design Studio you bring in a USB stick, or purchase one from us and then we put your designs directly on the stick. Another great feature is if you lose your designs you can bring back your same USB stick and we can reload them. It has to be the same stick that you purchased them on.

The Creative Sensation is Pfaff’s new top of the line ma-chine! It took the best of the Creative Vision and made it even better. One of the best features is ActivStitch™ Technology. This feature really shines during embroidery due to the precise nature in which the tension unit meters out the thread. The machine senses the thickness of the fabric and also meters the thread that is moved through the tension unit. Most other machines pull the thread through the tension unit via the feed system. The ActivStitch™ Technology feeds the thread through the tension unit, only allowing the exact amount of thread that is needed to perfectly form a stitch!
