Sew what's new!

What a month we have had! We brought the month of October to an end with a new beginning! We had the official ribbon cutting of our new building on the morning of the 31st, which started off the amazing event "Sew What's New!"

 

 

We had so many people come welcome the new building, it was an incredible morning!

 

Our event was outstanding and had such a great turn out. We learned so much about the newest products available for sewing, quilting and embroidering. Not to mention the great software classes and a marvelous class on the new Baby lock Destiny machine!

 

 

We had so much fun learning and playing this past weekend! If you missed it, don't forget to stop in and see what's new with us!

 

 

Happy Sewing!

MARTHA PULLEN SCHOOL AT CREATIVE SEWING MACHINE CENTER

The Martha Pullen School was held at Creative Sewing October 21-23.  You know its a great event when the students do not want to take their breaks for snacks and lunch!  The classes this year were taught by three Martha Pullen Certified Instructors; Kathy McMakin, Connie Palmer and Peggy Dilbone.  Creative Sewing was honored to have three such accomplished teachers, designers and authors.

Instructor Connie Palmer taught the students how to make a beautiful designer child's dress using Baby Lock's Crescendo sewing machine.

  The dress, designed by Connie, features a bodice using puffing strips, rickrack and bias strips. 

Instructor Peggy Dilbone taught the students how to make a cute designer diaper bag on the Baby Lock Destiny.

  Students learned to construct the bag and embellish it with embroidery, lace insertions and scallop touches.

Instructor Kathy McMakin taught the student's how to construct and embellish a baby day gown and matching bonnet using Baby Lock's Ovation serger.

This gave Susan a chance to demonstrate her stellar ironing skills!

As the Martha Pullen School comes to a close, we are already prepared to enjoy some informative classes with Joyce Keske this Friday and Saturday, the 24th and 25th! If you have missed out on all this fun, don't forget to sign up for Sew What's New just around the corner on October 31st and November 1st!  See you then!

HELP IS ON THE WAY!!

If you have been waging an internal war over the need and desire for a bigger, faster embroidery machine, and the initial investment, we have great news for you!

We are excited to announce that we have even more financing options coming soon. Depending on the machine, we have 12 months, 18 months, 24, 36, 48, and even 60 months financing available on certain machines! Can you imagine purchasing a brand new Destiny for only $162 a month? Come in for details! We would love to match your need with an available solution.

MOTHERS DAY, FINANCING AND MEMORIAL DAY!

What do Mother's Day and Memorial Day have in common? Shopping for loved ones on both special days has been made easier by BabyLock! This weekend you can make that long awaited machine purchase with either 24 or 48 month interest-free financing, depending on the machine!  If you want to take advantage of the special financing, but just cannot come in this weekend, they will also offer extended financing on Memorial Day weekend! 

Even though the store will be closed on Memorial Day itself, (Monday, May 26th) the financing promotion will begin on Thursday, May 22nd and extend through Tuesday, May 27th. Don't let these wonderful opportunities slip through your fingers!

STRESS-FREE QUILTING

        Would you like to experience a day of quilting where the techniques, machines, and instruction all work together to take the stress away from your efforts? Creative Sewing Machine Center is offering a quilting event designed to help you maneuver through quilting techniques that sometimes confuse quilters. You will have the pleasure of sewing on state of the art machines that aid you as you construct flying geese, piece quarter inch seams, free-motion quilt, attach binding, and try the new free-motion couching foot.

        The class will offer a Notions Commotion; demonstrations of dozens of notions that simplify the quilting process.  Every stage of quilting can be improved and simplified with the techniques and notions that are available today. We want our customers to be the most informed and pampered when it comes to quilting. The demonstrations will include the Silhouette Electronic Cutting Machine, the newest marking and cutting tools, rulers and presser feet.

        Be sure and reserve a place in the class on Saturday, May 17^th from 9:30 to 12:30. The only cost is a $15 reservation fee. You may call the store at 936-1251.    

Join us this Saturday for our Table Top Demonstration!
