Disboutiquers Part 15 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[poohnpigletCA]

Have any of you made toy story outfits for girls? I have looked in the photobucket account and there aren't very many. I'm just looking for ideas. My daugther (who's 2 yrs. old) loves Woody and Jessie (she calls them her Yee-Haw Bo Bo's). If you have made something, I would love to see it!

Darla made her a Bo Peep costume last year.

Speaking of Darla the wedding was beautiful yesterday....

Notice someone missing?? There was also supposed to be a Cinderella flower girl but the day came and she was not going to put the dress on.

Darla made all of the Bridesmaids dresses and the little girl dresses. She has more pictures on her facebook.

I just checked sams and they don't have them anymore I guess. There were only 5 machines and this wasn't one ad there wasn't anything comperable. When did you get it? The cheapest I can find it online for is $640.

Does it stitch out nice? Any complications? I am so nervous to buy one but the guy that does my embroidery is closing his buisness and I need a way to do names and such for my customers. I would also love to do some of heather's designs. I just LOVE them!

I got mine just after Thanksgiving so maybe it was a holiday deal?

Someone told me I should be able to import my letters one at a time with autopunch and make a name with them. Maybe not. The only problems I've had with the machine are mainly user error and me trying to learn everything. The manual doesn't tell you much so I've ended up getting most of my questions answered online. Singer does have a FAQ website for the Futura that has been really helpful. I think the only thing that bothers me is I don't have the ability to use fonts other than the 2 it came with to do anything other than a single letter at a time.

I have the ce-350 and I have about 10 fonts that came with the machine. . . if you get hyperfont you can use any font you download (even free ones). I haven't gotten it yet, but it is $200.

Has anyone made placemats? If so do you coat them in something to keep from staining?

Toadstool- I just joined that group, not for that fabric but just cuz i have never been in any before and since moving down here south it just doesn't seem like we have very many good fabric stores..

can use use downloaded fonts? This is the main reason for getting the machine so I need to be able to do that. Do you have a link to the FAQ site? Thanks for being so helpful!

I cannot love on the things you are all posting enough! I really really liked the cutie Tink tank and the Wishes dessert outfits. (Not that I didn't love everything else, but I'd love to CASE those two if I thought I was up to it.)

I made something semi-girly for my Cars-loving girl for her to wear when we go to DHS and she gets to see Lightning and Mater again.

(Woah, the red contrast fabric matches the red in the firetruck and Lightning McQueen much better in person than in the pictures! It does match, trust me!)

I also made a pretty simple Tink outfit for one of our visits to MK on the upcoming trip, one in which we will hopefully make it through the line to meet the fairies at Pixie Hollow!

It's much simpler stuff than a lot of you are making, but I hope my girl loves it anyway!

I also just got myself a Brother 900D with some gift money and I'm so excited now that I've started using it. All the bobbin issues I had to contend with on my old machine are GONE, and I'm starting to gather some embroidery files to use once I get to the fabric store to buy some solid-color fabric so the designs are more visible. It's only a 4x4 hoop but it's exciting nonetheless!

(I must really be excited. Look how I'm abusing the exclamation point.)

Have a great day, all! <-- See, there I go again.

Those are great!!!

To see Tink I would suggest you get to the rope drop for Toon Town at least 15 minutes prior to opening OR go close to Tink's closing time.

You have to get the hyperfont program - sometimes it is included with a package purchase. . . sometimes not.

OK, I have a singer futura 150 and it has worked beautifully up until today for embroidery/applique. I have tried multiple designs today some have worked some haven't. The last two it has been repositioning the pieces of the applique from step to step so they are all off. I've tried rebooting the software, turning the machine on and off. I thought at first it was my laptop b/c I was running vista on itand I hadn't used it with the machine before but then I switched to the desktop and it was doing the same thing. I don't think it's the designs b/c at least one of them I have used before with success. I'm ready to throw it out the window and of course I have only 3 weeks before we leave for vacation and I have about 4 outfits I want to finish.

Ignore my earlier sewing maching rant. I think it was having PMS. It seems to be ok now.

JUST A NOTE! You do need to be careful when replacing the hoop back on to the machine after you trim the fabric. I had this problem a few times. When you put the hoop on the first time, make sure that it is pushed all the way in on the top and bottom where the screws hold it down. Screw the screws really tight. Make sure you do the same thing when you put it back on. I would always watch the hoop very carefully after I replace it. IF it appeared that it was going to be off, I would stop the machine and loosen the screw (it was usually the bottom screw that was the culprit), and move the hoop just a tiny bit so that it would line up with where the needle was stitching, then begin stitching again slowly to see if it lined up. That usually helped. BUT, making sure that it was all the way in tight to begin with usually did the best job.

OH GOODNESS! Cinderella refused to make an appearance, huh? I remember reading that she wasn't thrilled with her dress. That's almost kinda funny, except that it isn't! I need to check out the pics - it looks like it was a beautiful day!

I was trying to be careful with that but maybe I was trying to work too quickly. I am hoping tonight goes better....

I think it actually is a Stitch on Time design you're looking for, but you have to search for "g00f" there to get Goofy stuff. (That's g - the number 0 - the number 0 - f.)

If you have an extra prayers/positive thoughts, would you mind sending some my way? I know it's not as big an issue as many people have, that's why I only want the extras...

I thought I was just getting tired because of everything I was doing for the trip...then I thought maybe it was stress...but I think I have to face the fact I'm having a Lupus/Fibro Flare. This is horrible and almost the worst possible timing. Please give me strength to fend this off, or at least be done with it in time to finish packing and get on our trip!!!

 

[SallyfromDE]

I noticed alot of you joined CutFromtheSameCloth yahoo group. Are you all looking for that castle amusement partk fabric? It isn't there. I asked Judy about getting it, and she couldn't find it.
Are you guys interested in the Cinderella(or whichever princess it is) japanese that she has posted in the photos? We could get a second bolt if so. I think the first bolt is full.

I'd love to. Do we need to sign up with the yahoo group?

-you may need to just take a day for yourself and rest. I know how hard it is to do, but taking that one day now could save you a lot of pain and lost days later.

Does anyone have the embroidery magic 2 software for digitizing? I was looking at it as a cheaper alternative to embird to get my feet wet. Any pros/cons???? Thanks!

I used to be in another group that the lady who wrote the program was in. The group no longer exists but she was such a sweet lady. I have played with the software some and found it VERY easy to use. She is also very quick to answer emails from her website.

On a side note, can you PM me Linnette's email - I was just thinking I'd message her on FB, but that account is gone too I hope she is ok and she is in my prayers!!

It's sent.

And I'm sorry, I am so far behind on things here. Congrats on your baby girl, she looks BEAUTIFUL!

(Please forgive me everyone who's good news and great creations I've missed)

Those are not the ones. Goofy was in Boxer shorts that had hidden mickeys embroidered on them. I will see if I can find the post. I am sooo bad at that. But I will try.
