Tips from the Tech
Always use a serge protector, especially for your computer sewing machines.
An unexpected jolt of electricity (like during a thunderstorm), or a serious under voltage can play havoc with your machines electronic circuits.
Never sew over pins.
Tiny pieces of broken metal can cause injury and damage to both you and your machine. Should you ever accidentally break a needle, make sure you find and remove all the pieces.
The most important component of a stitch is the quality of the needle.
Never use dull or bent needles. Replace your needle often, Bernina suggest after every 4-6 hours of sewing. Needles cannot be resharpened.
Oil your sewing machine at least once a week if you are sewing a lot.
Refer to your manual for directions on how to do this.
Keep your feed dogs, bobbin area and throat plate clean and free from lint.
Use the brush that came with your machine, but avoid canned air as it can force lint further into your machine.
Internal machine parts need to be oiled once a year, more often if you use your sewing machine a lot.
Proper maintenance by a trained technician can avoid costly repairs in the future.
If your fabric gets stuck down the throat plate and your machine jams, turn off the machine and remove the needle from the bar.
Don’t try to pry it out, as this could cause damage to your machine.
Never clean your computer screen with abrasives, acetone or mineral oil. Use a gentle cleaning agent.
You can tell if your tension is adjusted correctly when there is some resistance on the bobbin thread and top thread when the presser foot is down.
Always thread your machine with the presser foot lever in the up position.
The needle should be in its highest position when you start to sew with the thread under and behind the foot.
Store your machine where it will not be effected by extreme temperatures, and always keep it covered and unplugged when not in use.

Hand Quilting 2 - Crazy Quilts
Join our second hand embroidery class and create a small crazy quilt. You may make a wall hanging like the sample on display. Or, you can create a crazy quilt project of your own, choosing to make, for example, several small squares for a quilt, a really beautiful pillow or perhaps an elegant focus square for a special quilt. You can choose to use up all those lovely random scraps you've been hanging on to, or you can choose several pieces from a brand new wonderful fabric line. You will learn and practice more hand embroidery stitches and learn and experiment with silk ribbon embroidery while you learn to put together a crazy quilt in the tradition of quilters who have come before us. Class will meet for four Friday afternoons beginning February 21, 2014. Come have fun, relax and create an heirloom project with yummy threads and fabric, embellished with new fun and challenging stitches and all kinds of lace, beads, buttons and charms. Prepare to create beauty in this new year. Please note: Be sure to read what is required for each class, expecially because you will need additional items for the first class!
