    Holiday Pillow Pattern & Stocking Embroidery Design

    October 11, 2020 /

    Holiday Pillow Pattern with Fur Stocking Machine Embroidery designed by Ellen March This holiday pillow pattern showcases machine embroidered appliquĂ©d stockings that have a faux-fur cuff made completely with Sulky Filaine thread! After embroidery, the thread is brushed with the wire Filaine brush, to “bloom” the thread and create a faux-fur effect. Sulky Poly Sparkle™ thread is used for the stocking outline to add some festive sparkle.

    10 Pumpkin Projects to Sew for Fall

    October 5, 2020 /

    10 Pumpkin Projects to sew for fall It’s time to spice things up with pumpkin projects that are easily doable before Halloween and last long after into the fall season. Pumpkin Carving Ok, so this one doesn’t involve sewing. But, you CAN use your sewing supplies to help carve adorable pumpkins with ease! Simply use Sulky Stick ‘n Carve™ to transfer your pumpkin design straight to the gourd, and cut right through it. Just like Sulky Stick ‘n Stitch™, Stick ‘n Carve is water-soluble, so it washes away completely when carving is complete.

    Double Gauze Throw Create a double gauze throw that’s quilted with Sulky Poly Star and trimmed with pom-pom fringe. The double gauze throw is a great lightweight coverup for chilly days.
