Did you know you can use the ScanNCuts DX225 and the SDX230 to create cut files for appliqué right from a .pes file? No software needed! It takes just a little bit of work to get the right sequence(s) to use as cut data. You have to isolate such sequences from the rest of the […]

I am working on my Sew Fun projects for October including one from Annie’s Quilting called Oh Christmas Tree. This beautiful pattern calls for turned edge appliqué to make the tree. Well, I’ve never done appliqué that way, so I thought I would share my experience with you. Of course,...

In my previous blog, Hop to It! Make a Bunny Word Collage with FTC-U, I showed you how, in Floriani’s FTC-U, to create a word collage inside of a bunny shape. I mentioned that I thought it would be a cute bunny appliqué, and want to show you how to “make it so” in FTC-U....

You are dressed to go out. You are handing off the baby to the sitter, but want one last snuggle. Then, burp! Spit up all over your blouse! (The baby’s spit up, not yours!) Make a flannel burp cloth to keep handy, place it on your shoulder, and protect your clothes from baby’s little...
