QUILTsocial | Issue 08
Here it is, the new issue of QUILTsocial Magazine! We're extremely excited to release this FREE issue featuring a full 88 pages packed with free tutorials, patterns, and product reviews. This is a very exciting issue! (I know, I say that about all of them...) But I'm very excited that we're taking a close look at 3 different sewing machine brands, highlighting their special features and exploring them with cool projects. This issue also has the very fun and diverse quilting projects you've come to expect from QUILTsocial. You don't want to miss our many tutorials, like reducing bulk in your seams, threads that enhance Sashiko work, and bringing together stenciling fabric and machine embroidery to create a one of kind quilt block, to name a few. Enjoy the issue, and happy quilting!

The calculator popup lets you touch the<br />
number of times you want the stitch<br />
repeated in the shape. Don’t worry if<br />
you get it wrong the first time – there’s<br />
a plus and minus sign for you to change<br />
the number and see the results to make<br />
sure you like it before you stitch it out.<br />
Basic shape created<br />
This is how the shape that I created<br />
looked on the Color Touch Screen.<br />
The design needed to be in the space<br />
between the black square guides. The<br />
machine will let you know if your design<br />
won’t fit.<br />
Now it’s time to stitch it out!<br />
When the design was finished I cut the<br />
joining threads between the stitches and<br />
trimmed the fabric to a 5” charm.<br />
Then I decided to use the charm and<br />
make a placemat!<br />
I used my free Charmed placemat<br />
pattern and cut stash pieces to the sizes<br />
I need. Notice I used up the rest of the<br />
selvage fabric I created earlier this week?<br />
I love projects that let me try out new<br />
techniques and use up my stash!<br />
Designing my own charms with the<br />
embroidery stitches available with the<br />
PFAFF creative 4.5 has opened my mind<br />
to the creative possibilities of combining<br />
quilting and embroidery.<br />
I hope you have been inspired to create<br />
new things!<br />
