I'm calling about the Princess fabric today ... I have it on good authority that she has at least 12 yards put aside for me ... If you requested any princess fabric can you PLEASE pm me the following:

Your zip code (the entire mailing address if you want, but at least the zip code)
Yardage amount

Thanks so much!!! I have to call and go up there and this will make it a lot easier to make sure I'm getting the right cuts and to figure out shipping for you!!!

I hear so much about having tea at the AG store that I really want to go next time I go to NYC. Would they think I was a crazy lady that lived with a house full of cats if I went by myself -- with no doll?

I heard that they are opening an AG store in DC! That is only a 2 hour drive for us! I would love to take dd for tea there (and I want to go too!)

Since you've been to the NYC store, do you think I would feel out of place going alone? My son works near Times Square so I was going to have lunch with him when I go see Mary Poppins, but I don't think he'd be interested in AG.

I would go with you if you want to meet up. I loved Mary Poppins when I took my daughter last year.

Thinking we might go see the Lion King or possibly Anything Goes this summer.

Hi Ladies! I need some advice from all you excellent seamstresses! I got the go ahead to get a new machine & I want something that does embroidery as well. I found a Brother SE 400 on Amazon for under $400. I have never done embroidery so it would have to be something easy to start on. Does anyone have any reviews for this machine. Does it have to be connected to a computer the entire time it stitches out a design? I also read that you can only load up to a 4X4 design to it. Any comments about the machine would be welcome.

TIA,

Brandi

This was my first machine. It is a nice little machine. It sews well and it embroiders nicely. I would hold out for a bigger hoop though if you think embroidery is something you might like. 4 x 4 is extremely small on adult clothes. It does need to be plugged in to the computer to download the design and then can be unplugged.

I wonder if there is a android version of this. I am headed there today.

The coupons can't be reused....unless you get a lazy cashier. So make sure you pay attention...if they just glance at the phone and don't enter the unique code...you can reuse it!!

I honestly have no clue. I found the iPhone one by accident.

I've had this pattern for a year now, I haven't made it yet, but my girlfriend did last year..she made it for her 8yo...she liked the pattern but she said it was impossible to get it on her. The bodice was too fitting and without a zipper or buttons she couldn't get it on her. So she ended up taking apart the straps and attached elastic in some casing.....Sooooo, ever since then I've been hesitant to make it, but it's so cute looking, I'm definately going to give it a try anyway. Let me know how it works out for you!

I've made it and haven't had any problems with it being hard to get on my girls, but they are pretty tiny. I love it...it goes together so quickly and easily. I've made it for a big give too!

 

[branmuffin]

Thanks, Chiara. That does give me something to consider. i don't want to have to turn around and upgrade again in a year or even 6 months. hhmmm. Maybe I will keep looking.

That would be cool. (I've seen Lion King, I'm not familiar with Anything Goes.) I also want to hit the newly refurbished Times Square Disney store.

I would definately go! I hear the tea is really nice too! its a great experience!

I had planned to go before May 26 so I could use the Disney Visa $50 off, but never got around to it. I'm sorta hoping they might have another promo soon.

So what are them thar new fangled iphone devices?

I just bought 10 yards of solid flannel at Joann (50% off) and the price has gone up to $5.99/yard. I think it was $4.99 a couple weeks ago when I bought some.

Good tip! Thanks!

Embroidery newbie questions:


So, I'm looking at the thread color and stitch order jpg that comes with a HeatherSue file. What thread brand do the numbers and color names refer to?

For the initial outline and fabric tackdown stitches, do you really need to follow the color listed if it is later covered up by a different color? For example, for her Lightning McQueen design she uses two different blues for outline and tackdown, but it is later covered by a black satin stitch. Are those colors more just to show the different steps, but could be done with any color?

Finally, poly vs rayon thread- my mom (the machine owner ) prefers poly. Is there a dramatic difference in sheen between the two? I'm planning to buy the Marathon brand but keep waffling between the two fibers.

Thank you!
Regards,
C.

I don't change the thread colors, it I know the final color will be black I just use black. I have only been embroidering for a year so I may be missing something but I don't see the point to the changes either and I'm lazy enough to only change the thread when necessary. As for Rayon vs polyester I can't answer about the sheen except to say that the rayon sheen is very nice and rayon won't melt under a hot iron like polyester.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for it at my store.

We are 2 and a half months from our trip and I haven't even started sewing. I am really having a hard time getting motivated. Maybe I just do better with the time crunch and need to wait to the last minute! Anyway, can anyone direct me to plain tanks for toddler girls. I have searched everything that I can think of and just cant find them.
Thanks for the help.

I don't change the colors on tack down or appliqué. I only change for the final satin stitching.

I came home from work and worked on Bridgie's Give only 1 shirt to finish. I am waiting for my little guy to get home from school
