We aren't sure if this is the first music video made exclusively with sewing notions, but it could very well be. Created by Christophe Thockler, it uses 10,000 photographs of needles, thread, cloth and more. It was created for the song "Favorite Place" by the band "Black Books."

Every once in a while something just tickles your funny bone. This time it was a diagram of a sewing machine and its working parts. Don't think BERNINA uses these terms...

The fused binding is a fast and easy way to bind your next wall quilt. But do you know how to dress it up even more? Laura Wasilowski shows you a way to finish your quilt and how to add another decorative element to your design.
Laura's favorite decorative stitch on her BERNINA 750 QE is the lucky number 1330. This blanket stitch finishes the fused binding perfectly.

This quilt may seem straight forward in its design, but quilter M-R Charbonneau packs a lot of meaning into this wonderful maple leaf quilt through color and stitching.

Allie writes, "Every year I make a quilt for the Alliance’s fundraising contest. I love doing this for so many reasons, but the one I want to share with you is how important this is for me as a quiltmaker. I get to play with new ideas on a small scale and try new techniques as I think about each year’s theme…"
"But wait a minute! All my quilts have been about gardens! That being the case, please allow me to escort you on a garden tour, to show you how these contest quilts themselves have “grown” each year. I want you to see all the techniques I’ve discovered along the way and incorporated into my subsequent work."
Click on "Learn More" and Allie will walk you through her process for creating these lovely garden quilts.
