IGOR IS OUT FOR DELIVERY TODAY!!!!

/evil scientist cackle!

I am soooo jealous! I had hubby convinced to get it when we get back from Disney...and then my washing machine decided it needed to be replaced instead... trying to whine just the right amount, so we can get both.

I always end up getting what I want, just have to wait a bit sometimes.

I hope it is ok that I will enjoy vicariously through you ! Have fun with Igor! And be sure to post at least once an hour so I can get my 'fix'! LOL

It's NOT a sewing room- I don't have one! All it is is a counter in my kitchen (I just used to have photos on it!)

Underneath is a large plastic tub with the material in it.

What does DH want to be? My BIL likes to be Villians, so we start there if we do the MNSSHP. If you want to go with the "monkey" theme, what about you and DH being Jasmine and Aladdin with DB being Abu? A little had, red vest. A brown Tshirt. Monkey themed booties.

Your Sally solution was brilliant!!

WOO HOO!!

ADI: Why don't you make a tutu out of tulle and just slip it over a cute onsie. If you wanted to do Belle you could applique her on the onsie and make a yellow tutu, or if you wanted tink applique her on a onsie and then just slip the tutu over. It wouldn't be too hot and easily on and off for changing. I also happen to think babies look adorable in tulle tutus. I've also seen pirate tutus if you decide to go that route. I think would be pretty quick and easy to whip up a tutu -- the only worry you might have is if the tulle would itch a newborn's skin.

IGOR:[/SIZE] You make sure you behave well for your Mommy and don't give her any trouble!

TO WHOMEVER WAS LOOKING FOR BLACK AND WHITE STRIPE SOCKS: I have been in three different Targets looking for a specific primary composition book for dd and two of the three Targets had a section at the end of the aisle by regular women's socks that have orange and black and black and white striped Halloween knee highs. They are $5.99 a pair (thought that was a tad pricey!). In the girls section they also had striped tights (didn't have a price on those). So perhaps your Target just didn't have them in yet.

ENABLER ALERT: Joanns is having an on-line fabric sale with free shipping -- I think it's only 10% off. Just thought I'd let anyone know who doesn't have a Joanns nearby as free shipping is always nice.

Help please! My machines are both Brother, sewing is 6000i (Perla) and the embroidery PE700ii (Igor)

Okay I'm getting conflicting answers, so I will go with the majority on this one:

1. Can I use Gutermann sew all thread in the embroidery machine? or do I have to get special embroidery thread?

2. Is it the same bobbins for each machine? The book for the Igor says I need bobbins "SA156, SFB: XA5539-151. But when I looked at the package of bobbins I use for Perla, it gives no model number or identification other than it's made by Brother, fits "most" brother sewing and embroidery machines, and says "SABOBBIN" on the package. They are the 11.5 mm ones (taller).

3. IF I can use the same bobbins and thread for Igor that I use for Perla, does that mean I can load the bobbin on Perla and then transfer it to Igor?

4. If I can't use the same thread but can use the same bobbins, can I still load the bobbins for Igor on Perla since the thread doesn't technically go "through" the machine? (I'm not sure if using embroidery thread on a sewing machine would hurt it if they have to be different).

5. When you purchase a downloaded design, does it also list colors needed? Or should I print out the design to take with me to find thread?

6. If anyone has one of Igor's brothers, (hahaha, a Brother brother!) does it work with Windows Vista?)

HEEELLLLP!

HI EVERYONE!!!!!!

I have missed you all and the beautiful work you do. I have been busy, busy and planning our Christmas trip. So, it has been at least 4 months since I stopped by. Luckily, I have been able to keep up with some of you on FB.

I can't wait to peruse the thread and see what you have all been up to. Now it is time for me to get sewing for our Dec trip. Well, I should have started long ago

I feel like I am coming home from a long vacation

 

[100AcrePrincess]

Have fun with your new toy. I love that you named your machines.

Thanks - Since this morning I started about doing that. . . I bought newborn sized tights, that I could put under so it isn't scratchy. . . or I could maybe use something else, we'll see. . . I'm gonna sketch out my ideas and then see when I head out to walmart or Joann's to get supplies!

I can't help with it all, but will help with my own experience - You should use embroidery thread on Igor. I prefer Sulky and have a site where I get it fairly cheap, if you want I'll look it up and give you the link. However - I DO NOT use embroidery thread in the bobbin. It is thicker and more expensive and is not needed for the bobbin - I just use my regular coats and clark (or whatever I have on hand) thread. I read about that on a lot of embroidery machine help sites and it saves money because your bobbin does not need embroidery thread. If the bobbins are the same on both machines you can run thread through Perla for Igor's bobbins.

Hi all. Been admiring all the great projects posted. Dh decided we had to take a short notice trip to D.C. over the weekend so I made the girls dresses for the day at the national zoo.

In action:

Not an experienced bowmaker, so instead I took some pony holders & then tied on strips of fabric that matched the dresses. I cut the fabric with pinking shears.

Also here is a peak at Morgan's 1st day of 3rd grade dress. I wanted pics on the 1st day of school (yesterday) but it was pouring & so didn't get them anyway here's the dress;

closeup of the applique ( I think I'm getting better at it):

Just made our reservations for most nights of our trip to disney & now it's time for me to get cracking on making outfits. Can't wait!! Thanks for all your inspiration.

I just thought I'd tell you what I realized about my Sally applique.

I recently watched Nightmare Before Christmas for the first time. The twins have discovered it and they love it. So I'm really checking out Jack and Sally and I realize that the Sally I did for Olivia is BACKWARDS! I traced the design out and then I must have flipped the paper over somehow when cutting out my pieces, and the design is BACKWARDS! Sally's stitching is supposed to be over her other eye!

Do I laugh, or do I cry??

No one will ever notice!

I love this! Great job!


Fantasmic Pkg:

Has anyone done this recently? We have this booked for next week and I know it has changed since last year. They tell you that you need to show up a half hour early to a different entrance, but I have heard that's not true anymore. I've heard you need to show up at least an hour early to the main entrance and try to bypass all of those people. Is that true? Can anyone explain to me what we really need to do?

We went through the side entrance last year when we went. I'm sure if you ask at the restaurant that you are eating at they will tell you.

That was me looking for the socks! Thank you! I ended up buying them from a seller on etsy and they were only $8 with free shipping. So for two dollars more I don't have to do the work, not too bad I guess!

I have the 750D, pretty much the same exact machine. My machine came with 9 or 10 prewound bobbins with the accessories. Check your box out and make sure that yours didn't come with them. The store where I bought my machine also gave me a spool of white bobbin thread (it actually says bobbin thread on it) to wind my own bobbins if I wanted but they are pretty cheap to buy already wound so I am planning on doing that (and the bobbin thread in my embroidery machine lasts about 10X longer than the one in my regular sewing machine). I bought polyester (apparently it has to be polyester) embroidery thread from www.marathonthread.com on the suggestion from Teresa. The store where I bought my machine charged around $3.50 for a cone of thread and online I bought 50 colors of thread for $75 (around $1.50 a cone). It's nice to have the variety of thread colors so hopefully no matter what I'm sewing I ought to have something pretty close to what I need. I'm actually considering purchasing the second set of 50 colors too. And I have to say, I really like the thread from their better than the thread from the store. I've never tried to use other thread in my machine so I don't know if that works.

When you purchase a pattern online they do list the colors used, but I have changed my colors up based on my preference. I don't know if that is true for all patterns but the few that I have they all tell you what color is used. Good luck!

HEEELLLLP!

I don't have a Brother Machine, I have a Singer Futura.

I use Sulky embroidery thread it has a little more sheen to it than regular Gutermann thread. Sulky also has bobbin thread for embroidery machines that is finer and it comes in black and white. I use that. I think a lot of ladies on here use prewound bobbins though.

The reason I use embroidery thread is because it leaves lint in the machine. According to my Manual.

I hope you get some other good responses to your questions. Do you have plans for what you want to create first?

What a nice Auntie you are. Now when Olivia is wearing it looking at herself in the mirror it is correct. Not many people would go to that trouble! She loves it who cares. Plus it twirls.
