Just Sew

FYI Brother 1034 serger on prime right now for $185.

I am sewing flower girls dresses and I need to attach the rhinestone chain to this ribbon... does anyone know how to do this? I tried double stick tape but that didn't work...I don't know what to do...

Does anyone know a site that I can get NFL purse hardware and emblems?

Made this as a thank you for letting me cut up her wedding to make her daughter's communion dress....

I made a new cover for my ironing board! Xx

So, I've started making an American Flag. My challenge - embroidering 50 double-sided 2" stars on the canton? Since I have a Husqvarna Viking Diamond DeLuxe I would rather use my machine to create the stars. The pictogram stitch library has triangle stitches I could assemble to make a star - either manually or in programmed in embroidery mode. Creating a star one diamond at a time was awful. I programmed the machine and was getting good results, but the back looked awful. I may have stop multiple times through one star to cut and clear the threads on the back. I am adding pictures of the results in the comments. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd appreciate the feedback!!

So, I've started making an American Flag. I have obviously had no problem cutting 13 stripes out of red and white fabric. My challenge - how to embroider 50 double-sided stars on the canton (field that holds stars on a flag)? The stars are 2" in diameter. My solution of last resort is to embroider the stars by hand. Since I have a Husqvarna Viking Diamond DeLuxe I would rather use my machine to create the stars. I do not have a pre-set embroidery pattern in the machine for one of those stars. The pictogram stitch library has triangle stitches I could assemble to make a star - either manually or in programmed in embroidery mode. I tried one diamond at a time and it was an epic failure creating a star although the quality was good. I programmed the machine and was getting good results, but the back looked awful. I may have stop multiple times through one star to cut and clear the threads on the back. I am adding pictures of the results in the comments.

The pictogram stitch library has triangle stitches I could assemble to make a star. I did a test and found that the pictogram stitches work great for this! My machine will allow either stitch one star at a time in regular sewing mode or program the machine in embroidery mode.

I programmed the machine and was getting good results, but the back looked awful if I just let the machine go.

So, I've started making an American Flag. I found official specifications by the government but this is NOT an easy pattern - the math is extremely complex due to the ugly fractions involved. The blue field is 7/13 high of the total size and each stripe is a very strange fraction of the whole. So, my boyfriend suggested I use the horrible, cheap, dirty old flag as a guide and it worked great! I have obviously had no problem cutting 13 stripes out of red and white fabric.
