It's summertime, so the sewing should be easy allowing us more time to kick back and enjoy the beautiful weather while we have it!
A quick, easy project to add a splash of colour and comfort to your indoor or outdoor space is to recover a pillow or cushion you already have. You can find many informative and inspirational projects in the INSPIRE tab on our website, Janome.CA, like this striking OH! Canada pillow by the uber talented Canadian designer, Tamara Kate.
Our friends at Sew4Home.Com. also have a ton of fun, fast and free projects available in the INSPIRE tab on our website, as well.
Applique is a quick, easy, fun technique you can add to any pillow or cushion, which can be done on almost any Janome sewing or embroidery machine. Many Janome sewing machines have a variety of dedicated Applique stitches from which to choose. A plain, old zigzag stitch will work, but Applique stitches such as the Janome 3160QDC's stitch #17, #18 and #19 are specific machine stitches which traditionally were done by hand.
Join our fabulous Janome Canada educator, Celine Ross, LIVE every Tuesday at 3pm EST on the Janome Sewing Machines Facebook page for an entire month of sewing fun and education to help you get the most from your Janome machine! Today Celine will show you how quick and easy it is to create and applique a cute summer pillow. As always, Celine will share her many tips and tricks for success.
Don't worry if you can't make the LIVE as all of the presentations will be saved under the Videos tab of the Janome Sewing Machines Facebook page (use the Search Box to find all the videos with Celine Ross) AND stream LIVE to the Janome HQ You Tube channel!
Though Celine often demonstrations on the fabulous Janome Continental M17, many of the same stitches, presser feet and techniques can be done with many Janome machines.
Although many of our Janome sewing machines come with the Janome Satin Stitch (F) Foot, did you know Janome has a special dedicated Applique Foot (AP)? Check out this video on the Janome HQ You Tube channel for more details!
Check out our handy Janome Accessories Catalogue or click on the Accessories Tab on Janome.CA. to find the presser feet and accessories compatible with your machine. Click the Products tab, then scroll down to find "View all Accessories". Click there to access the Search Box or to scroll through the pages to find the accessories you'd like. Click on the picture/description to find the Part Number and machine compatibility. And, as always, check with your fabulous Janome Dealer!
Don't have a Facebook account, don't worry, they will be uploaded to the Janome HQ You Tube channel under the Facebook Live playlist to enjoy whenever you wish!
Happy Sewing!
