If you are thinking about machine embroidery on a teeshirt , no show fusible stabilizer is what you need.
No Show Cutaway Embroidery Backing! Soft, sheer, stable, and translucent nylon-reinforced cutaway embroidery backing. Specifically-designed for left chest applications, eliminating the backing from showing through the garment. Ideal for lightweight, light-colored fabrics – keeps outlines on track when hooped in with your knit fabric. Can be used with a medium weight tearaway for added stability. No Show is also ideal to cover the back of the finished embroidery for a nicer appearance and to avoid having the scratchy feeling of heavier backing against the skin.
Jenny’s Sewing Studio carries no show stabilizer in a fusible form. It makes the hooping process much easier. Cut a piece of stabilizer a little larger than the hoop and apply the stabilizer to the back side of the teeshirt. When you hoop the garment make sure you do not pull on the garment and that your hooping are contains the stabilizer. If you project is too small to hoop, hoop the stabilizer and use a stray stabilizer to hold the garment in position. The results will amaze you.

My challenge was a serger quilt. One of my students was learning to use her serger and wanted to learn quilting. We picked a quilt from Eleanor Burns quilt book called “Quick Trip”. My student, Mary loved the underwater colors. The quilt is so easy because we used the 3/4 serger stitch to piece the strips and complete our quilt. a 3/4 serger stitch is a perfect 1/4″ seam.
Once the top of the quilt was completed, we decorated. Immediately I thought about expressing part of my quilt designs in embroidery. Using the autopunch feature, I created the topical fish design for my Singer Futura. I have saved the designs for you in XXX, and PES in case this is a project you would like to do.
Notice I embroidered the fish on a cutway stabilizer. I then cut out my fish and applied them 
to the quilt using a stippling technique. This was so easy to do and lots of summer fun.
You can make clip art into instant embroidery for your machine as easily as I did. Stitch N Sew software works for all embroidery machine and the auto punch comes with editing so you can touch up your embroidery if it does not come out perfect the first time. Add texture and lace effects too.
Buy the power pack which includes the photo and cross stitch plus editing or buy the autopunch by itself which is the stand alone autopunch with editing.
Here is my finished quilt.

My mom loves country curtains! After 26 years her curtains are ready to fall off the rod so I am replacing them. It is a great project for a hot summer day, (make that a week) especially if you have air conditioning and time.
For this project it is important to own a ruffler. Jenny’s Sewing Studio has one available for your machine.
I am doing triple windows and the curtains are 82″ long and each panel is a fabric width of 45″ plus an additional 1/2 width. Each panel measures 82″ X 67.5″. I have added 5 additional inches to each panel to allow for the header and casing. Calculating the yardage means I need 21.75 yards for the panels. Read the rest of this entry »

Jenny’s Sewing Studio has created 2 free designs to show you the possibilities of Stitch and Sew auto punch and lettering programs. The designs are free for you to download.
Each design has been saved in 2 parts for consumers with smaller hoops. The formats are PES. and XXX. You can print off a template of each design with center markings. Tape the papers together to create the perfect layout . Next mark your fabric with the center marks so you are aligned when you embroider the designs.
The first design is a praying angel and verse. The design was created in the Stitch and Sew software. If you want to make your own creations, Jenny’s Sewing Studio offers the options separately or as a complete program. I invite you to watch a video on how the auto punch and lettering software works.
The second design is a nursery rhyme. Mary, Mary, quite contrary…! The design was created in the cross stitch option. Cross stitch works great when you want to auto digitize artwork that is complex. The cross stitch embroidery picks up the small details.
The embroidery designs can be done in 2 hoopings. The easiest way to embroider larger designs is using a “hoop it all” or “Fast Frame”. The Angel verse uses the quilters square and the nursery rhyme uses the super long well.
Enjoy our free designs!
