Crafting Together: Quilted Runway Accessories with Sadie and Meg

Transform your scraps into wearable art that say "I love to quilt and sew". In this live class, Sadie Metter and Meg Healy of Quilting Daily and Sew Daily demonstrate how to make mini quilt blocks that can be used to make accessories like earrings, necklaces, and charms. They cover two different methods in this creative session including using a paper foundation pieced pattern as well as an In-the-Hoop machine embroidery design, all applicable downloads included.

Note: Embroidery design files are not one-size-fits-all—each file type is created specifically for different brands and models of embroidery machines. That’s why you’ll often see multiple file extensions included with a design, such as .PES, .EXP, .VP3, .JEF, .DST, and more. These formats ensure compatibility so your machine can properly read the stitch data, thread colors, and design details. Before stitching, be sure to select the file type that matches your specific machine brand. For example, Brother and Baby Lock machines commonly use .PES, Janome uses .JEF, Bernina uses .EXP, Husqvarna Viking and Pfaff use. HUS, .VP3 or .VP4, and commercial machines often use .DST. Be sure to check your manual. Using the correct format helps ensure your design loads correctly and stitches out just as intended.
