Announcing Sewing Machine Cover Pattern

Published on January 18, 2009, there are 10 Comments

The machine cover pattern I’ve been working on for quite some time is now available for purchase.

For our lovely machine

machine-cover1

Please NOTE the design on the cover above is from Kaleidoscope Elements and is NOT included in the pattern. You can put any design you want on your cover.  Designs are available through your local Viking dealer, MyEmbroideries.com or other embroidery sources.

The cover fits many machines.  Two sizes are included; one for the Designer Diamond and one for the Designer SE/I.  It also fits other machines of approximately the same size.  The cover is designed to cover the embroidery unit with the skirt unfolds from the zippered area.  If the embroidery unit is not on, the skirt tucks away.

The pattern has some great techniques for learning to use your machine.  Included in the package are instructions for programming stitches, and use of an invisible zipper and cording.  If you haven’t used your machine for these techniques this is a great way to get familiar with them.

I’ve also updated MY teaching schedule. I’ll be teaching the machine cover in Elsmere, KY on February 21, and at  Bueter’s Spring Sewing Retreat in Howe (Elkhart), IN on March 12 – 15 .

Just click on the Shopping tab above to order the pattern.
