Lucky me – I’ve just bought myself the Christmas present I wasn’t going to – a Brand New computer!!! Yay … not! You may have heard that w e’ ve been having a series of quite nasty summer thunderstorms here where I live in Australia, and a week or so ago, lightning strikes took out both our home modem (and half of the house powerpoints), as well as frying my computer (and now I realise my printer) at work. Hence, the new computer. Needless to say, we are still on getting-to-know-you terms, but I’m sure our relationship will improve. Never mind – it’s Christmas and the Holiday Season now, and I’m all for eat, drink, quilt and be merry! You’ll find some fun new Christmas projects in here to try, and they’re all pretty quick, so you’ll still have plenty of time to whip some up before the 25 th . Speaking of ‘whipping up’ – check out the Christmas Fudge recipe too on page 55. Some for me, some for you… you know how this kind of cooking goes! Annette and I would like to wish you and your families all the very best for this Holiday season, and for the New Year. 2014 was great, and we know that 2015 is going to be even bigger and better! Stay Safe, and enjoy the Holiday!

Leah. Personally, my guide on this is scale. On a small Question: My biggest issue are the odd empty scale, those openings in the texture will form spaces; do you just put lines in there to fit in with the overall design or leave some empty spaces? noticeable gaps in the design. To fill them, I stitch simple curving lines which could be more echoes All designs end up with funny areas where a new to a Paisley shape, but are cut off by the edges of shape, in this case a full tear drop and echoes, the space or another overlapping Paisley. Using won't fit. travel stitching and careful spacing, extra lines can fill all the gaps so the design is completely and consistently filled. On a big scale, however, open space is just fine because your goal is a soft finish, not necessarily a dense solid texture.

    Quick Reference Guide to BERNINA Presser Feet, Attachments, and Accessories : Presser Feet • are Swiss-engineered for precision sewing of specific functions • are one-piece metal feet, making them strong and durable • are easy to change with one hand, requiring no special tools • have a white shank, making it easier to see the eye of the needle, resulting in easier threading • are, in some cases, modeled after commercial feet used in factories to increase speed and production with professional looking results • do the job intended in relation to all types of sewing (garment making, quilting, crafting, etc.) • are supported by the best and most complete educational materials in the industry such as Feet-ures, Volumes 1, 2, and 3 and the BERNINA website (www.berninausa.com) Understanding the Numbers/Letters BERNINA presser feet are numbered and may have one or two additional versions with a letter that follows the number, such as Edgestitch Foot #10C or Jeans Foot #8D. No Letter—The number without a letter refers to a foot engineered to be used with BERNINA models that have a CB Hook and a maximum stitch width of 5.5mm. These feet may also be compatible with models that have a 9mm width when a 9mm width is not applicable, such as when making pintucks with feet #30, 31, 32, or 33. The Letter “C”—When a foot number is followed by a C, it indicates a version of the foot made for models that have rotary hook systems and a maximum stitch width of 9mm. The “C” stands for coded and refers to the sensor on the foot that works with the electronics of the machine to engage the wider stitch width (see page 8 for more information on sensors).
