A pair of 7-inch shears is a good size for you. Scissors Sewing tools If your mother has several types of cut- ting tools in her sewing box, you have al- ready learned that shears and scissors will cut both fabric and thread, but one is easier to use for cutting thread than the other. Little scissors like the small pair illus- trated are meant to clip thread or cut narrow things like ribbon, elastic, etc. Scissors have very sharp and narrow points to make it pos- sible to clip into tiny corners. Scissors have Needles two handles the same size. and Pins and Pincushion and Thimble Needles When you buy needles, search for slender ones with long eyes. If they are slender, they will slip in and out of the material without When you cut with scissors, put your thumb through one handle and a finger through the other. A pair of small scissors about 4 inches in length is easy to handle. Shears are larger than scissors, and they are used for cutting a pattern out of material. Shears have one large handle and one small one. When you cut with shears, place your3 much effort. The long eye will be easier for you to thread. Also notice the length of the needles. Will they be easy for you to handle? Pins Pins are used to hold the pattern and ma- terial together while you cut out a pattern, or to help you hold the pieces of material to- gether when you are getting ready to sew. The wrist pincushion is the most conven- ient. If you are right-handed, wear the pin- cushion near your wrist on your left arm.

  • Curvemaster Presser Foot Tutorial
    Curvemaster Presser Foot Tutorial Print Page The Curve Master Presser Foot sews curves with no pinning or clipping. It also sews a perfect, scant ¼” seam and eliminates the problem of trailing off at the bottom edge, or getting triangle points in a wad in the needle hole. Sandra Chandler, the inventor of the Curve Master, with a curved pieced Drunkard’s Path quilt she has made in far less than half the time normally taken with the quartering, pinning method of sewing. Photo taken during our Three Day Retreat with Sandy held at our Warehouse during June 2008. For the purpose of this tutorial, we will use the two pieces used in a Drunkard’s Path Block. These are the two shapes which will be sewn together. A convex curve into a concave curve. Normally, a difficult seam to sew. Having the top straight sections level, align the beginning edges together. No need to mark the middle or fold the fabric to find the middle. No pinning at all. Note that the fabrics are placed together so that when you “flip them open”; they are aligned exactly as you want this edge of your block to appear. Hint #1: Sewing with the wedge shape on top gives you better visibility, but either on top is okay. Hint #2: If sewing a stiffer fabric (such as a Batik) with a softer fabric, the stiffer fabric is better to be on top. Place fabrics under the needle; lower the Curve Master Presser Foot, aligning the two fabric edges against the integrated, raised ¼” seam allowance guide of the foot as shown.

    Welcome To Janome Institute 2011- Your Education Connection September 3 7, at The Marriott World Center Resort In Orlando i Expand Your Horizons j How about some good news, for a change? The economic recovery has been a mixed bag for the sewing industry. Customers are buying... but they’re also holding onto their purse strings a little more tightly. They’re taking longer to make that big machine purchase. But, we’ve clearly seen, when they’re excited about a machine, they will gladly make the purchase. And that’s good news. Because at Janome Institute 2011 we’re going to unveil a machine that will cause your customers to be very excited. This top-of-the-line machine is going to redefine Janome sewing the way we did with the MC8000, MC10000, and MC11000. And it’s going to cause quite a stir among your customers. Believe me, people you’ve never seen before are going to stop by your store just to see it in person. You better have your demo ready, because you’ll be doing it a lot.

On Opening Night, Saturday, September 3rd, this machine will be revealed for the first time ever to attendees of Janome Institute 2011 in Orlando. You’re going to want to be one of them. Because starting the next day, you’ll get to try out the new machine and get the sales training and product knowledge you need to become a certified dealer.
