I hope this exciting issue finds you in good health. Let me start by talking about one of the excellent tutorials in this issue like: how to piece a quilt top using the Husqvarna Viking HUSKYLOCK s25 serger, understanding the basics of a serger, how to change threads and how to make reusable grocery bags for fruits and veggies. This info alone is golden, as it can be applied to so many sewing possibilities.

Other tutorials include learning about the tools of the TrueCut System, how they work, and how they help with cutting the pieces for the Square Peg Round Hole quilt on the cover! You’ll want to read about the 10 super-useful and time-saving notions that make a tote bag long-lasting and easier than ever to make! Check out the excellent pattern we’re using for the sample.

If machine embroidery is your thing, we’ve got several tutorials for how to do embroidery magic using the Brother Luminaire Innov-is XP1.

The Mid Mod Shoofly Quilt was thrown in this mix to put some joy in your day. It’s easy and fun to do and won’t take you long before you can bind it and send it to someone you love.

Stay safe and keep on quilting.
