HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Is your stash starting to expand and invading other areas than your sewing studio? Are your muffin bins topped and about to explode at any minute? 

Do you feel overwhelmed? Not sure how to use it or what to do with it, and almost to the point of giving it away? I feel that way too, at times!  Not to worry! I believe I have a cure for this common ailment. Let’s bust our scraps, especially those little pieces that seem to multiply when your back is turned.

Each Thursday I will find some patterns that will deal with the little pieces and even some of the larger and odd pieces that we all tend to accumulate.

Let’s talk first about Machine Maintenance as we head into the Holiday Season, especially since we have a lot of sewing to do and we want to make sure that our machines are in the best condition!

Our first one is from Evelyn Wood and she shows you how to clean it properly.
