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.

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.  

 

WHAT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!

We've lost count of the number of people who have asked us if we will have classes on the Silhouette Cameo. Well...here is something just for you, whether you own one or are thinking about it.

One of our highly qualified Baby Lock educators will be demonstrating the use of the Cameo AND some of the new innovations that make it easier to integrate with embroidery! Other interesting and helpful notions and accessories will be featured too in the Notions Commotion class. Our "Sew What's New" event will be scheduled in the near future.  We will have FOUR educators to cover the vast array of new products, software and notions. And speaking of software...all of you multi-needle embroidery machine owners who have invested in Palette software...we will have something for you too!

One of Baby Lock's top software experts will have a class to show how Palette software can benefit any embroiderer, but especially multi-needle owners!  There will also be some new Designer Gallery software features to enjoy.  There will be two other classes offered including the class that will officially launch the brand new Baby Lock Destiny! If you appreciate new technology and innovations you will love this machine! 

BERNINA SEWAPALOOZA

A full day of sewing fun! That is what we experienced at the Bernina Sewapalooza!

Our adventurers worked on three beautiful projects! One was an elegant shoe bag that was embellished with a mixed media design including painting (with the embroidery machine!), a crystal motif and an embroidered applique design.

The participants also made a cute little zipper pouch and a quilted pillow. Our Bernina educator, Kelly Rushing, was so impressed with our customers! We were impressed with her too.  Look at all the pretty things she brought to help teach us!

Some of our busy bees...hard at work!
