NEW FREEBIE!
Free Digitized Buttonhole for a 1.5" Button

FREE!! Plain Buttonhole Sized For A 1.5” Button (added 2/5/2010)

This download includes one digitized buttonhole in the following formats: EXP, HUS, DST, EMD, JEF, PEC, PES, VIP, XXX.  The digitized stitching includes a narrow line of tiny stitches around the buttonhole opening for interest. The underlay  includes multiple lines of stitching that run perpendicular to the top stitching.  This buttonhole works well on quilted fabric that has two layers of quilt weight fabric with low loft quilt batting sandwiched in between. It is perfect to use for the closure on a pillow back.  1.5” buttons-to-cover  are perfect to use with this buttonhole!  You can cover these buttons with your own fabric so that they will coordinate perfectly with your project.


Stippled Right Triangle Machine Embroidery
New! Introduced 2/3/2010

If you want to stipple the easy way, this is the way to go! My hands can't handle free motion work because my joints are as old as I am so I let my embroidery machine do the work for me. These designs are perfect for variegated thread!

This download includes a group of  stippled right angle triangles motifs. There are five sizes of "half square" (Quilter's Terminology) triangle designs: 3”X9”, 4”X4”, 4”X6”, 5.75”X5.75”, 5.75”X8.75”. All designs come in two stippling sizes, tiny and small, so there are a total of 10 digitized designs included in this download.

Wonderful things happen when you use these designs repeatedly as machine quilting done with  your embroidery machine! The effect is similar to trapunto work with the void areas between the stitched designs puffing up and creating wonderful depth and texture. You can make fabulous pillows, bags, and other wonders with the quilted fabric!

All of the Stippling Embroideries are located with the Continuous Line Embroideries. We have quite a collection of these fun and useful designs!
