Thank you for all the quilting, embroidery, and scan and cut! I appreciate a day dedicated to to embroidery!!!

[@anita828]

Yay!!! So glad you are going to do some embroidery. I don't quilt and I learned so much about embroidery from you in the past. Looking forward to more.

[@maureenlewicki437]

I may never get to the point that I quilt over a span of fabric but I still learn ‘stuff!’

[@melanietannertaylor0401]

Hi peeps!! Sorry, i missed yall this morning !! I'm glad I watched the replay to see all of the hooping info !! Have fun at the retreat everyone 😊

[@sharongrant1209]

Whoohoo! Finally - embroidery lessons. I’m not much of a quilter but love machine embroidery. Thanks so much for this Becky. I learned so much today. (I watch the replay).

[@kathyodekerken5614]

Love going on holiday with Becky especially as I am sitting here in Australia 😃

[@angelabynum1247]

I am currently attempting to make a baby quilt for a niece that just had a new baby. I am using the moon and stars quilting backdrop. Let’s hope that it turns out great and worth gifting.

[@teribrown9427]

Thanks, watched the replay. Have a great time!!!

[@tammyeaton4791]

DIME magnetic hoops will ROCK your embroidery WORLD. I have a 6x10 sticky hoop for stiff that needs to be floated or can’t be hooped in the normal way.

[@teriadams7398]

How fun , people driving across the country. Have fun folks!!! Sorry I missed the live, I was canning till 2am. I slept in. 😊

[@sherrikoers1438]

[@kathyann7153]

Evening everyone.

[@starraymond2044]

Good morning Becky! It’s very cool we can join you at El Campo! Sew fun! Looking forward to seeing more!

[@DigitalDesignsbyPJ]

Started on the live, but then had to go to work, now I get to finish watching it. lol

[@pamelabarrett7645]

Thanks. I have a small quilt ready to quilt. Lots of tips.

[@robinstrayer]

Glad to see you it is been a while I am dealing with health issues

[@csgracesew]

Catching the replay! How about showing how to do multiple hoopings on a future Embr Thursday?

[@MargeLind]

Brother sashing hoop is great, a really tight hooping

[@pamelabarrett7645]

Didn’t make it to the live. Sure glad I can do replays.

[@ruthh1776]

Have a fun time..🎉🎉

[@conniechamberlain1259]

I wish I was there.

[@susanmcdonald2856]

Hope you have a fab time at your retreat!!! Question: If you have a quilt sandwich why do you need to hoop no show mesh stabilizer?

[@susanmcdonald2856]

Oh, I see now why you were using the no show mesh...great idea...thank you...

[@angelamcgovern1525]

When I quilted in the hoop I didn’t use stabiliser, can I ask what the benefit is adding stabiliser

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

I was showing how to use it if you couldn’t get a good hooping.

[@angelamcgovern1525]

@@PowerToolsWithThread thank you xx

[@cindydickerson7770]

I just wanted to let you know that Janome does have hoops from Dime. I use one for my 11.02 X 18.11 hoop. I just finished a queen size quilt with the end to end quilting. What I did to save stabilizer is I went into my digitizer software and put the design into my hoop twice and I also enlarged it a tiny bit to fill the extra large hoop. It worked great! I enclosed a picture for you see how it was in my hoop. C:\Users\cindy\OneDrive\Coachmen EURO\Desktop\thumbnail_IMG_0347.jpg

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

Glad you shared that so that viewers can go check the DIME site to see if a magnetic hoop is available for their machine. They don't have hoop for all Janome machines.

[@lindabrooks9494]

I got my call from Two Chicks Quilting! They have more kits for Merry Christmas by Amy Bradley!!!

[@conniechamberlain1259]

Love you and your husband.

[@kathyann7153]

Tape is cheaper then ripping out.

[@deeanderson-dx5rw]

I noticed that the design that you will use for the border looked not the same in size. I’m not talking about the design length but the design itself. Am I wrong. The small 4 x 8 looked smaller???

[@tammyeaton4791]

Yes, the 4 x 8 pattern scale looks smaller to me.

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

The 4x8 is 2" shorter than the 4x10, but the scale of the design is the same. That's the beauty of DBJJ Backdrops.

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

It was a bit of an optical illusion because I didn't trim the 4x8 template on the target paper. The scale of the design is the same on both sizes. I'm sure others were wondering so I'm glad you posted. :)

[@ErinSmith-c4c]

Does anyone know if there are magnetic hoops available for the Janome CM17? It hoops from the left side/outside of the throat.

[@kathykumler1542]

Google it. I saw a lot of choices come up for it.

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

Yes! Here's a link to it. Scroll to the Janome hoops, then use the dropdown arrow to choose the size to the largest. It shows the M17. Yay! www.shop.dzgns.com/products/snap-hoop-monster-janome-1?variant=40822078898245?p=S1z1p1FgS

[@AngelaTucker-rj1ko]

I never get the threading of my machine to work like Becky does. The knot won’t go through my machine

[@kathyann7153]

If it is difficult to pull your thread then thread machine the regular way.

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

Use the presser foot up/down button until the tension discs have released. Sometimes the foot is up but the discs are still closed.

[@tammyeaton4791]

An Pellon SF 101 be used in the quilt if one doesn’t have no-show mesh?

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

I can't recommend that. If it is ever ironed out, the adhesive in the SF101 will activate. It might cause wrinkles that won't come out.

[@tammyeaton4791]

@@PowerToolsWithThread Oh, thanks. Good to know. Too bad I bought a crap ton of it.
