Tackle It Tuesday Machine Features

July8

When I took the class to learn what feature my sewing machine has, I learned that I have a foot to embellish with embroidery thread. The foot has a ridge with three bumps. Each bump holds a strand of thread. I couldn’t believe how easy and pretty it looked when I sewed three different colors of embroidery thread onto a piece of fabric. I am anxious to try this on a bag. I remembered a box of embroidery thread that I have had sitting in my closet. I used to cross-stitch but haven’t for many years. Now I have something to use all that embroidery thread. I am sorting through the box and organizing the colors. Be sure to take a look at the bag I made this past weekend. It is in the next post down.

   Your thread box looks fantastic. So organized and neat. Organization is probably very important when working on embroidery projects.

   I wouldn’t know, of course. My sewing machine has been sitting broken for almost six years, now. *blush*

    I need to take a class like that too, I am still learning how to sew I have made simple outfits for my baby, pillows and simple bags. I would like to know what I can do with my machine.
    Your thread box looks great! Maybe this should be my tackle it Tuesday for next week because I have 3 thread boxes and a ton & 1/2 of thread. I have been teaching my DD to embroider
