Ricky opens the show with a very clever method of adding piping to a seam, which works on both straight seams and curves! Piping looks great, adding interest and a tiny shot of color to a project. Lola Jenkins then shares her new interest in collage portrait quilts. She starts with a photo, looking for intriguing facial expressions and gestures. After a demo on how to use photo editing software, Lola shares her insights on choosing the right fabric, including some unusual color choices. Once ready to start quilting, we learn there is no prior planning. She talks about finding the best way to manipulate a large quilt under a domestic sewing machine. Lola has also devised some cunning finishing techniques that don’t require a lot of stitching. Check out her ideas for binding with ribbons, buttons and canvas backing.
Show 1809: Portrait Collages and Binding Concepts premiers April 24, 2016.

Do you love your featherweight or your classic "heavy metal" machine?
Still Stitching just might be the documentary for you. Share your passion with these eight other collectors of classic all-metal machines.
From: StillStitching.com:
Vintage sewing machines represent a bygone era of meticulously crafted all-metal machinery, a time when America and other industrious nations built durable classic machines to be passed down from generation to generation. Still Stitching explores the profound impact of the sewing machine, and the benefits that domestic sewing machines brought to families. Dozens of lovely machines and technical features are discussed. From the days of the “patent wars,” to the explosion of Japanese “clones” of the Singer model 15, the history of these powerful beauties is as deep as the passion shared by countless collectors, enthusiasts, restoration specialists and those who continue to sew on vintage models.
