QUILTsocial Issue 14
While exploring and playing with the Brother Luminaire XP1 and the Husqvarna Viking Designer EPIC sewing machines, we're after what is original in quilting ideas. In this issue we show you how to piece fabric using decorative stitches instead of the typical quarter inch seam. We use traditional quilt blocks to make a modern quilt, show you how to use the flip and stitch technique of quilt making, the golden 5 steps to add a flange to a binding to give the quilt edge some pop of color. Many free patterns and inspiring new quilting ideas!sew

While I could have checked my phone<br />
for the status of the label, I wanted to get<br />
a picture of the label in progress. You can<br />
see that it’s almost done.<br />
Here’s the final label. I have to take<br />
it out of the hoop and tidy up the<br />
spaces between the words. A small task<br />
compared to having to remove all the<br />
jump stitches which the Designer EPIC<br />
did automatically!<br />
I love how the label turned out.<br />
The label is almost finished<br />
Then I got another notification on my<br />
phone. The embroidery is FINISHED!<br />
An alert on mySewMonitor app to check the thread<br />
While we’re waiting for the Designer EPIC<br />
to finish stitching my label, I thought<br />
I’d share with you a couple of other<br />
labels. I didn’t make either of them, but<br />
hopefully, it’ll give you a couple of ideas<br />
for quilt labels.<br />
They can be fancy like this first one which<br />
includes a motif as well as the writing.<br />
Quilt label with an embroidered motif to match<br />
the fish on the quilt front<br />
Or they can be simple like this one<br />
which was appliqued to the backing<br />
before the quilt was quilted.<br />
'Embroidery is finished' notification on<br />
mySewMonitor app<br />
I ran downstairs to see that in fact the<br />
label was finished. That didn’t take as<br />
long as I had thought it would.<br />
The label is FINISHED<br />
The final quilt label<br />
Did you read the label? Did you notice<br />
the dates? There is NO way that I’ll get<br />
that quilt finished this year so I put on<br />
the label that it was (will be) finished in<br />
2019. I’ve given myself a bit of breathing<br />
space but how much do you want to<br />
bet that come December of 2019, I’ll be<br />
madly trying to finish that quilt? NO – I<br />
won’t let that happen.<br />
There you have it – a beautiful label that<br />
didn’t take long to make. The hardest<br />
part was deciding what to put on it.<br />
The Husqvarna Viking Designer EPIC is an<br />
awesome sewing/embroidery machine.<br />
The flexibility, the technology, and all the<br />
features make our sewing, embroidery<br />
and quilting needs possible. My head is<br />
spinning with the possibilities.<br />
I hope you enjoyed the feature and that<br />
you found some inspiration.<br />
Quilt labels do not need to be elaborate.<br />
