| from the editor The season of gift giving is in
full swing! Getting together for celebrations with family and friends
and trading gifts hits its peak in December, but most people give
gifts all year long for many different occasions—and sometimes
for no reason at all. I recognize the need for great gift ideas,
for holidays and everyday, so I’ve set our experts to work
coming up with lots of ideas to keep you busy embroidering gifts
all year long. |

If something goes wrong while you are embroidering a T-shirt or sweatshirt and the design cannot be fixed, the shirt may still be salvageable.

In
the January/February issue of Creative Machine Embroidery
we have gifts for all occasions. Take a look at our soft frames
for Valentine’s Day (see “Great Frame-ups”) or
our bud vase with embroidered lace (see “Simple Chic”)
either of which could translate to any holiday or theme. Make embroidered
gifts for different stages in any woman’s life (see “Life
Stage Gifts”); use ready-made bases with inserts for embroidered
test-samples (see “Practice to Project”); or, for someone
really special, spend a little extra time and make a luxurious fur
neck wrap (see “Fur Sophisticate”). |
Reader Mary Ann S. of Greenfield,
Ind., recycled a two-drawer file cabinet to keep magazine clips
organized. Whenever she discovers a project she wants to make she
clips or photocopies it and files it under a proper heading; for
example, “Fabric Pumpkin” is filed under “Fall
Projects.” When she’s ready to sit down and embroider
the project she can easily find the instructions at her fingertips. |
