October Pfaff Workbook Class
Sew-Ciety, 1025 South Perry St Unit 101B, Castle Rock, CO 80104
Maxi Sewing Techniques
The workbook section for this month will be covering Maxi Sewing Techniques. These includes the Subcategory 5.4 Maxi Art Stitches, Category 7 Monograms, Subcategory 2.2 Stippling Stitches, and Subcategory 9.2 Four Direction Stitches. These stitches are larger than the 9mm limit of most of the built-in stitches in the machine. These stitches look as if they were done in embroidery but are stitched in the sewing mode.
We will be stitching samples during the class so you may want to have the following available:
3 or 4 8” x 8” squares of a tear away stabilizer
3 or 4 8” x 8” squares of a plain fabric
1 piece of 3” x 3” Print fabric
Embroidery threads
Embroidery bobbin thread
Optional: since some of the stitches are stippling stitches you may want to try them out on a quilt sandwich sample. One 8” x 8” sandwich should be enough.
As time permits, we will be using the accompanying project write up to explore how these techniques and features can be used to create a Maxi Stitch Zipper Bag.
