Brother Machine Sewing Retreat  for Purchasers at CSC

Mar 17 & 18                       Wednesday & Thursday    10-4 each day                  $40.00                    IDA

This is Spring Break and what better time for a teacher or student to learn her own Brother machine. This class is specifically designed to investigate the features of the Brother QC1000, NV1500D, NV2500D, NV2800D, NV4000D, NV4500D, NV6000D. These are 7 mm machines with wide decorative stitches and directional feed stitches. The 6 projects can be used to make a jacket, tote, vest or wall hanging.
Register early as space is limited.
Learn to do wedge swirls, piping, bargello, ruching, couched threads, applique highlights, pintuck panels, and twisted two color tucks. Directional feed decorative stitches will be used in selected areas. If you have embroidery or quilting blocks that you wish to work into the project– bring those also.

Supplies needed

Machine and all accessories, presser feet including a pin tucking foot, foot control, power cord
Collect a group of 8-10 fabrics (1/4 yard), blocks, unused embroidery designs,and ideas that would make about 3-4 yards worth of stuff.  You could bring a 1/2 yard of your favorite fabric.
Bring fabric for the lining of the jacket: 3/4 yard for the back, 3/4 yard for the fronts, 2/3 yard for the sleeves. This can be one piece or 3 different coordinating prints. A few patterns will be available to use. You can try on the jackets to see if you like them.
Pattern tracing material if you need to size up or down from my group. Make sure you have the Gridded type about 2 yards of 45" wide
Thread for the project to match the fabric. Bring some decorative threads to quilt with- whatever you normally use or variegated if you don't know what to use.
Scissors, pins, small rotary cutting set for comfort- we have travel packs
There will probably be some things that you will bring the second day like 1/2" or 3/4" bias tape maker, fast turn tube maker,
