Bonnet Girls: Patterns of the Past Review

Bonnet Girls: Patterns of the Past

There is no way to describe how appealing these designs are if you have not seen them for yourself. It is like watching Little Women come to life through fabric. They are in every position and doing every daily chore you can imagine, including dipping their bare toes in the creek. Their gowns blow in the wind, they carry candles or cakes or babies. They fly kites with the children, teach school, offer up a baked turkey or decorate the tree. There are even three male figures to incorporate. Helen uses embroidery floss to appliqué the figures, which outlines all the pieces in sharp relief. She teaches you to braid hair, twist it in a bun or display a head of tousled curls. The pieces are infinitely interchangeable and all the faces are hidden by stylish bonnets. I don't do appliqué and my little girl is grown, but I love these every time I see them.

Piece in the Hoop: 20 Quilt Projects + 40 Machine Embroidery Designs Review

This is an advertisement without the specifics that machine embroiders need. What are the most popular formats; SEW JEF ART ? What is the size of the stitch field required for the designs; 4X4, 6X8, 5X7, 8X8 or other? I have used these techniques with great success from other sources but I would not purchase this without knowing these answers in advance. I have wasted money in the past on designs that were too big for my machine and all the books with design CDs are not returnable.
