Creative Sewing Machine Happenings!

Now that the Martha Pullen School and Sew What's New events are behind us, we are looking forward to the excitement of the holidays.  Thanksgiving is coming soon and all of us at Creative Sewing want to wish all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends.  We also want to remind you that the store will be closed Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 2014 and Friday, November 28, 2014.  We will be open on Saturday, November 29 from 9 am to 3 pm.

 

 If you need inspiration for Christmas gifts and decorating come into the store and look around at the beautiful projects you can complete.

 

 We have some beautiful ideas for your Christmas sewing and gift giving.

 

 

We are already planning inspirational events and classes for the first quarter of 2015.  We will be taking fun events from the past, taking them forward and making them fresh.  We will also have a 3 day Serger Workbook Workshop, welcoming all brands of sergers!.  Watch for the dates and time in the new newsletter that will be out at the end of December.

Sew what's new!

What a month we have had! We brought the month of October to an end with a new beginning! We had the official ribbon cutting of our new building on the morning of the 31st, which started off the amazing event "Sew What's New!"

 

 

We had so many people come welcome the new building, it was an incredible morning!

 

Our event was outstanding and had such a great turn out. We learned so much about the newest products available for sewing, quilting and embroidering. Not to mention the great software classes and a marvelous class on the new Baby lock Destiny machine!

 

 

We had so much fun learning and playing this past weekend! If you missed it, don't forget to stop in and see what's new with us!

 

 

Happy Sewing!

MARTHA PULLEN SCHOOL AT CREATIVE SEWING MACHINE CENTER

The Martha Pullen School was held at Creative Sewing October 21-23.  You know its a great event when the students do not want to take their breaks for snacks and lunch!  The classes this year were taught by three Martha Pullen Certified Instructors; Kathy McMakin, Connie Palmer and Peggy Dilbone.  Creative Sewing was honored to have three such accomplished teachers, designers and authors.

Instructor Connie Palmer taught the students how to make a beautiful designer child's dress using Baby Lock's Crescendo sewing machine.

  The dress, designed by Connie, features a bodice using puffing strips, rickrack and bias strips. 

Instructor Peggy Dilbone taught the students how to make a cute designer diaper bag on the Baby Lock Destiny.

  Students learned to construct the bag and embellish it with embroidery, lace insertions and scallop touches.

Instructor Kathy McMakin taught the student's how to construct and embellish a baby day gown and matching bonnet using Baby Lock's Ovation serger.

This gave Susan a chance to demonstrate her stellar ironing skills!

As the Martha Pullen School comes to a close, we are already prepared to enjoy some informative classes with Joyce Keske this Friday and Saturday, the 24th and 25th! If you have missed out on all this fun, don't forget to sign up for Sew What's New just around the corner on October 31st and November 1st!  See you then!

OUR BIGGEST WINNER YET!

When Debbie Cromer made a purchase in the store in early August she had no idea that it would change her life.

On Saturday September 20th it was Debbie's name that was drawn out of the box to win the Baby Lock Crown Jewel long arm quilting machine. Looking even more shocked and excited is Debbie's friend and business partner, Sharon Graham.

The two girls already bought a multi-needle for their business and were talking about adding baby quilts to their inventory.  What a wonderful way to start a new venture!
After months of waiting, Peggy was so happy to see the Crown Jewel go to a wonderful new home!

WANT TO KNOW A SECRET?

The news is finally getting out. Baby Lock's brand new "state of the art" machines with patented new innovations are being revealed.  Have you wondered how in the world they could improve upon the Ellisimo? Take a peek at the new "Destiny"!

It is bigger and faster and has features that make it even easier than we have ever seen before!  We cannot wait for you to see this one in person.  We have something for our Long Arm Quilting machine owners too! We have a feeling that you will be thrilled to see this. Take a look!

 

Lighting like this can solve a world of problems in the quilting process! For our customers who simply want a fabulous sewing machine at an affordable price, take a look at the Katherine. It is bigger than it's predecessor, but still affordable!

 

Not everyone begins their sewing and embroidery adventure with the top of the line machine, so Baby Lock has developed a machine that includes the most important elements of embroidery like size of hoops, built in editing, and fabulous sewing features at a price that won't overwhelm your budget. They have appropriately named it "Adventurer".

 

There are still more new machines to come and so many more notions and innovations to go with them.
