Jeanie, a former software engineer for Hewlett-Packard, explains how to select an image, print it on fabric, transform it into a unique design using her Kaleidoscope Kreator program, and then enhance it with machine embroidery.
In addition, Connie Fanders, Director of Education for BERNINA USA, shows a quick-and-easy way to make a rag quilt (and more) using your serger.

The BERNINA Patchwork Foot No. 97 and 97D were created for the precise sewing of patchwork projects on machines with 9mm stitch width. The foot comes with a patchwork seam guide to make it easy to guide the fabric through the machine in a straight line. It is recommended that the Straight Stitch Plate be used in conjunction with the Patchwork Foot.
In this video, you will find out how to attach the patchwork foot and the seam guide, which stitch plate and settings to use, and how to sew with the desired seam allowance. The video also includes detailed step-by-step instructions on how to precisely sew a mitered corner.

Moda Fabrics has announced that this year's Collection for a Cause by Howard Marcus will benefit the Libby Lehman Medical Fund. The line of fabric is called Community (how appropriate for Libby) and is based on an 1840s cotton-and-chintz quilt from the collection of antique quilts and textiles owned by Moda founder and CEO Howard Marcus Dunn.
In an email to Moda, Libby’s sister, Cathy Arnold, expressed her family’s delight with Community and with Moda’s generous donation. “The colors and patterns are exquisite…Libby loves the fabrics!” Cathy went on to say that Libby’s medical fund was nearing depletion and timing of this generous gift couldn’t have been better.
