Stitch along February rules part 1
Stitch Along February is about to begin. Already our second challenge for the year. What fun. If you missed the last one, be sure to check out the gallery for January. All the projects turned out different, but that just makes it much more interesting. I hope you'll be joining in this month.

Daphne's 5 top tips prior to sewing
Daphne Greig shares the top FIVE tips for her upcoming class Paper Piecing Paradise. These are just a few of the tips you will learn about foundation piecing in her class.
Beat Your Thread Problem
My class, Filament Fantasy, is all about how to sew with difficult threads, but also gives you basic insights on how to sew with regular threads and why they can sometimes be difficult. In the process of learning about threads, we use everything we have in our stash – cottons, metallics, rayons, polyesters, horrible twisty threads, threads as thick as embroidery floss strands, tinsel (Glitter) threads, two threads at a time through the same needle, how to do quilting and embroidery using those threads with your machine’s embroidery stitches, how to do thread painting and bobbin work, appliqué and reverse appliqué, all with those difficult threads. In the course of these lessons, we also explore how to use foil, painted Lite Steam a Seam II and other substances to embellish our squares, then how to make a beaded binding and how to use Solvy to make our own fabric out of metallic threads.
