QUILTsocial | Issue 09
Here's another informative and unequivocally fun issue filled with leading edge quilting and sewing products to explore. We're working with modern quilting and adding some old fashion charm to it; we use current accessories and explore the art of machine embroidery. We're also looking at machine applique and how to use it in different quilted projects. You'll also find a comprehensive talk about the characteristics and benefits of 5 Fairfield quilt battings and exploring the answer to the question 'How do I choose the right batting for my project?' We answer more questions as in 'When do you know when it's time to throw out older thread and why?' Let's not forget the fun you're going to have making the 7+ free projects with full instructions in this spectacular issue! Enjoy!

6 features I love on<br />
the Brother NQ900 sewing machine<br />
Christine Baker<br />
The NQ900 is packed and ready to go<br />
The extension table legs fold up for travel or storage.<br />
You can never know what a sewing<br />
machine is all about until you have the<br />
opportunity to play with it. In this issue<br />
here are my thoughts about the Brother<br />
NQ900 sewing machine. You'll find more<br />
information about this little powerhouse<br />
sewing machine on our blog site,<br />
<strong>QUILTsocial</strong>.com.<br />
Great feature 1<br />
One feature that Jean didn’t talk about<br />
is this machine’s portability! At just 23lbs<br />
the Brother NQ900 is so easy to take<br />
along on vacation, to classes, on a quilt<br />
cruise OR like I did a couple weeks ago –<br />
to a quilt retreat!!<br />
Great feature 2<br />
The extension table on the NQ900 is not<br />
only HUGE, but it also has fold up legs<br />
so it can be easily stored or slipped into<br />
a bag to take along with the machine.<br />
Here’s the extension table slipped inside<br />
of the retreat bag that I made during my<br />
<strong>QUILTsocial</strong> posts in December 2015.<br />
Great feature 3<br />
The NQ900 has two LED lights which<br />
is AWESOME for when you are sewing<br />
somewhere that the lighting isn’t all that<br />
great. I really appreciated that extra light<br />
while I was sewing at the quilt retreat.<br />
Great feature 4<br />
OK – all I have to say about the needle<br />
threader on this machine is WOW!!!! It’s<br />
so easy to use that I HAD to make a little<br />
video to show you. The needle threader<br />
can be used with machine needles 75/11<br />
through 100/16.<br />
