I'm excited to be part of oesd's launch of their very first summertime patriotic tile scene
quilt collection summer glory is here and you can click on the links below this youtube video
to find out more number one to download this collection immediately so you can get started
and have something special for this year hi i'm sara from sewingmastery.com and i used
to work for oklahoma embroidery supply and design many years ago and i love following them through
all of their creations and over the last couple years the tile scenes usually during the holidays
are so popular in our store now i'm going to give you some tips of what you need to be successful
for stitching something like this out so number one you don't need a very big embroidery hoop
at all only a five by seven hoop size you can do this on practically any embroidery machine
once you've downloaded the designs from the links below you can get started right away of course if
you would prefer a cd you can order that as well or work locally with your oklahoma embroidery
retailer in your area so what do you need for stabilizers first off you want to be using
fusible woven interfacing on the back of your background fabric so for this we chose just
that nice beautiful light blue fabric that would be perfect for all those stitches to be created
on that background is going to come through a lot of the flower areas and really make those
flags pop out so by putting fusible woven on the back of your fabric that's going to help make sure
that this fabric doesn't shrink in we definitely don't want puckers after doing all of this work
next you are going to want two layers hooped up with this fabric of the heavy weight tear
away stabilizer again i'll put links below so you can check out everything that you need including
a list of threads that are used for this entire project can't you see this hanging in your home
people are going to think of it as a photograph a work of art and it's something that you can create
on your embroidery machine all with the red now if you're thinking sarah that looks way too
complex i invite you to check out our embroidery essentials online course where i can teach you
the basics and master your embroidery machine so when you want to do projects like this this is not
intimidating all this is is just multiple designs that are stitched out and then sewn together we
usually layer it with a little batting and then just stitch in the ditch and finish with the
binding it's that easy now i decided to put on a patriotic jacket that i did a while ago also from
using the designs from oklahoma embroidery or embroideryonline.com and i want to show
you i've added fireworks to the collars a little bit on each of the cuffs and this is
the design i chose for the back so again i'll put links for this particular eagle
and those fireworks that were kind of combined together to create the design on the back so i
hope that you'll be inspired to try something new try some new stabilizers this is a one-way
where if stabilizers are still confusing for you you will find that by using them trying something
new make sure you don't skimp and just use the stuff you have because you don't know if that's
the right stuff buy the ones that are required for the project be successful the first time you
sit down and stitch that very first block trust me it's worth it so again thank you for watching
