Greetings from your friends at Sew Fabulous
| WHAT'S HAPPENING |
Hello all you wonderful sewists! I hope you're all doing well. Though we both enjoyed our time in Pheonix, Ross and I are happy to be home. We got our hands on the new Pfaff Creative Icon 2 and can't wait to share it with you. One of these beautiful machines is on it's way here and should be in the store in the next few days We also have one of the new Creative Embellishment tools that applies beads, yarn, cording and ribbon to your embroidery.  I have to say, spending time with all the Pfaff enthusiasts and educators reminded me of my love for clothing construction. I love quilting and will always love that creative outlet, but garment construction is where I started sewing. I even designed and made my wedding dress 37 years ago. Here are some of the amazing garments created by Pfaff Educators.  Yes, that's a burlap skirt with butterflies embroidered all over it.     SVP (Singer/Viking/Pfaff) is working on a breakthrough technology to reinvent how we purchase clothing patterns and cut the pieces. The tool is called DITTO and projects the pattern pieces onto the fabric from a projector mounted above a table. We'll be able to purchase patterns online, enter many (I think I heard about 32) points of measurement to ensure a perfect fit and even change design features all on our tablets or computers before cutting a single pattern piece. I was really excited about this. It is still in development and they are hoping for a launch this fall.  |
| NEW/INTERESTING ITEMS |
I do have a special announcement here. SVP has developed a special line of sewing machines and I decided to bring these exciting machines into our store. The Singer Elite line is a dealer-exclusive group of 3 machines: a mechanical sewing, computerized sewing and serger machines. I asked my rep why I should sell these machines and this is what he showed me. These are great little machines, each priced less than $500. I've received everything in this picture except the display rack and the computerized machines. I can't wait to share these with you.  |
