Paper Baby Rattle

Jenn made these paper party favors with her Brother Scan'N'Cut. The design is called: Baby Shower Candy Dome, which Jenn found on Creative Fabrica. She used 3" clear plastic domes that she found on amazon.

The plastic domes can be found on amazon, and any cardstock you like for the backing.

This project makes a really fun party favour, or gift for baby shower. You can fill the dome with candy, small trinkets or anything else you might think of.

Puff Foam Hat on the PR1060W

Puffy foam is a great way to add dimension to your embroidery. Use puff foam on baseball caps and hoodies, or anywhere that you would like the embroidery to be raised.

When working with Puffy Foam, it is important to have a design, or font that is digitized to be compatible with it. It adds extra thickness, so the embroidery design needs to accomodate that.

If you have your design already, and are hesitating getting started, then now is your sign to give it a try.

Make sure you match your Puffy Foam colour with your thread, that way it won't show through your stitching at all. Make sure you float the Puffy Foam, as it should not be hooped with your stabilizer and item or garment. Also although many people use craft foam from the dollar store...puffy foam is made for embroidery and will provide a cleaner finish.

Ask the Expert!


Expert Tip: Mark your pattern notches into the seam allowance, so you never lose track of them!

We have all done it, one or twenty times. You are serging your pattern pieces and accidentally serge off your pattern notches...or you trace your pattern, and accidentally cut off the pattern notch off the pattern piece AND your material. So how can this be avoided? There are a few way to avoid ever losing your pattern notches to a serger or an enthusiastic roatary cutter.

Mark the notches into your seam allowance. You can use chalk, a fabric pen or marker. If you want to go an extra step further, you can use a pair of snips and cut the notch into your seam allowance. Unless you cut close to your seam, it will not negatively affect your project. Of course this also depends how much seam allowance you are working with, so be sure to check that before choosing to mark your pattern notches by marking tool or cutting them.

Name That Tool?

 

Schmetz Super Universal Black. Similar to the Super universal we have come to know and love, this needle is a little different. This needle is particularly suited to sewing on self adhesive elements. The wide range of additional characteristics make sewing many - even difficult- materials much easier. This is why "super" is included in the name. This needle has a large eye, This makes itideal for embroidery work or sewing with thicker threads. the scarf on the Black Super Universal Needle has been specially designed so that no stitches are skipped.

This needle is especialy suited for materials like jeans or felt, hook and loop fasteners or belt straps. thanks to its slightly rounded point, most materials can be handled carefully and easily with this needle.


 


Until we have an opportunity to see you again! Stay healthy, stay safe!
