March has been quite the ”baby boom!” The software, Monogram Works, has been great on my Ellure Plus and great for making baby gifts. I’m having a great time with the embroidery and learning a lot of new things:)

I was looking through our bins of hand-me-down baby clothes for any festive shirt/outifit for St. Patrick’s Day for my 6-month daughter. I came across an adorable sleep sack with shamrock edging and embroidery. […]

The good thing about a snowstorm is that is gives me a good excuse to stay inside and work on a few sewing/embroidery projects I have been wanting to do.

I’m looking to begin making appliques on my Ellure Plus. I’ve looked at a few websites and see lots of options and cute ideas. Any tips or recommendations before I start my new adventure?

I dropped a needle down into my machine when I was changing needles. Only after I dissected the machine and fished the needle out with tweezers did I hear of a tip to keep this from happening–place a index card or piece of paper under the needle while you are changing needles to cover the hole. I will definitely be doing that next time!

Very excited to have found an exclusive Baby Lock retailer close to home in Milwaukee! They were so helpful and knowledgeable. I bought some new thread and many questions were answered. I see a lot more visits in the future for all my sewing and embroidery needs!

Just found really cute ribbons at Costco. Ten spools for $9.99 (10 yards each). Really good variety of colors, thicknesses, rick rack, etc. And the box they come in works as a dispenser so they don’t come unrolled!

My one year old just ran off with a roll of stabilizer. . . . . I chased as it unrolled. Like cleaning up toilet paper! Glad I have such good helpers while I embroider

In reply to: Heidi Richardson posted an update in the group Sewing, Quilting, Embroidery, Design and Crafting Events Just got back to sewing and learning to use my new babylock ellure plus. Wow there is so much to learn […] View

I have the same machine. Hardest part I found is finding the right stabilizer to use and hooping small items or items that are too thick to hoop. What are you having trouble with? I found the preloaded fonts and designs to work well, but am having difficulty with fonts I purchase.

Allison-I would go to the BabyLock website http://www.babylock.com. You can read about the machine and find a dealer near you who sells them. In short, it is a sewing and embroidery machine. A pretty good/easy one for […]
