April At That Sewing Place



Intro


Spring is HERE! And fresh ideas are popping up here at That Sewing Place.

This month we are featuring the PR embroidery machines! We will be sharing tips and tricks, and can't wait to show you how much we love them.

What's New

 
Marlene's Tania Jacket



We had a great time with Yvette making the Tania Coatigan. Marlene went rogue and totally made it her own, just look at that Cool Kid Jacket!! She used a Faux Leather for the body, and the Elsa Black and Silver for the pockets and sleeves. Pattern is Jalie #3906 Tania Coatigan.

Deb's Tank Top and Yoga Pants





We love what Deb did with these patterns from Jalie. For the tank top she used French Terry and Jalie pattern #3245, Raglan Racerback Tank and Tunic.

For the Yoga pants, Deb used Jalie pattern #3674, Isabelle and a Cotton/Spandex Jersey. To tie them together, she chose to use the French Terry from the shirt as an accent panel on the back of the legging. Nice touch!

Brushed Metallic Bee Wall Hanging - Diane



Love this unique design from the Scan'n'Cut Queen Bee, Diane! She used the Brushed Gold Sign VinylBrushed Silver Sign Vinyl and Matte Black sign vinyl.

The Brushed Metallic and specialty sign vinyls are a great way to embellish cup and glasses, or home decor like this sign.

Untamed Beauty Quilt - Barb



When we saw this fabric, the whole team looked at each other and knew we had to bring it into the shop. The colours are so vibrant and lovely, the photo doesn't do them justice.

The bottom right corner Barb left on purpose. Use the space as a place for the eye to rest, for embroidery, or with heat transfer vinyl.

STAY TUNED! This quilt is going to be a class soon!

Ask the Expert!


Mark Asked: "I want to embroider on the sleeve of my hoodie. Is there a simple way to do this?"

Hello Mark, yes you definitely can embroider on sleeves! Bear in mind that the sleeve has to be large enough to go around the free arm of your machine after it has been hooped.

If you have the PRHSL200 Sleeve Frame, it provides a great amount of space to embroider on the outside of the sleeve. You can also use the PRCL1 Cylindrical Frame which is made specifically for sleeves. For a hoodie or sweatshirt, we recommend you use a sticky tearaway stabilizer, and two layers of medium weight tearaway which will keep it stable and leave a clean finish.

That's it, now you are ready to decorate your sleeves!

See a tutorial for easy sleeve embroidery HERE



Name That Tool?



When it comes to PR tools and accessories, we can't just pick one! These are a handful of our favourite accessories for the Brother PR series machines.

Clamp Frame



Clamp frames are great for a variety of uses. On the left is the 4"x4" Clamp Frame Set. One side has a smooth, inner rubber grip, while the other side has a textured fabric grip; together, these two surfaces help keep your project in place without damaging fibres. The 4 x 4 size is ideal for monogramming, baby items and canvas items.

The middle and right frames are ideal for the sides of a shoe or shoe tongue. These frames are designed with exceptional grip strength to hold the items in place during embroidering. The arm size is designed small enough to fit down into most shoe sides and still have an adequate stitch field for logos, flags, initials, names, numbers etc. The frame has an aggressive non-slip surface to hold leather and nylon secure during embroidery. It works well with backpacks, gloves, pockets, hats and cuffs.

~

Compact Frames

These small compact frames make working in small spaces a breeze. Embroider on pockets, and other small places with ease.

~

Baseball Cap Frame


The advanced cap frame set gives you a generous area for cap embroidery. Now it’s easy to add logos or your favourite phrase to a wide array of caps. The cap frame embroidery area is 130mm x 60mm, approximately 5” wide x 2.4” tall.

This cap hoop is for baseball caps with a curved brim, however if you want to embroider on caps with a flat brim check out the PRCF5 Flat Brim Cap Frame.

~

Magnetic Hoops



Easy hooping of projects while the hoop is attached to the machine. No need to remove the hoop from the driver/hoop holder and the next project can be inserted for the embroidery process. Switching sizes is easy alternate between the 4" x 4" and 5" x 7" hoops without changing the driver/hoop holder

~

Wide Table to support Large Projects



Easy to snap and lock in place. Durable surface, great for supporting large or heavy items like quilting squares, towels, blankets, jackets and rugs. Use with the Jumbo Frame to avoid excess hoop and fabric weight on the machine. The Wide Table Top is included with the PR1055X.

~
