editor's letter There are several things to take away after reading this issue, one of which is exploring the new Brother Luminaire and the Husqvarna Viking Designer EPIC. So much easy sewing and quilting is made possible using their numerous features. Knowing all of your sewing machine's capabilities is helpful in your creative aspirations. I remember buying my first sewing machine and being surprised when the dealer signed me up for a class that would teach me how to use it. I have to say I was very surprised. Well, isn't it obvious? It was obvious to me how to sew by machine, after all, I had been sewing on my mom's since I was twelve. But after many years, there were new features on sewing machines. You know how much sewing machines have changed over the years, not only in terms of added features and built-in stitches, but now technology is already upon them in a stunning way to make your sewing and quilting experience a jaw dropping joy. The thing is, to some, it may seem as though sewing machines are more complex, but that's not so. They have more features and are able to do more for you than ever before. Remember when smartphones first came to market? Same, here are machines that can make your creative ideas soar! Check out a few quilt stores, ask that they show you their machines, they'll be happy to sit with you; and for Pete's sake, do take the class on how to use your newly purchased machine! The other take away from this issue, are three key tutorials: adding a flange to a binding as an accent for your quilt, how to quilt words, and how to sew seams using decorative stitches. These techniques are different, not often used, but if you give them a try, you'll have experienced something new to you. Enjoy your quilting hours! Cheerfully, follow me on QUILTsocial | issue 14 3
