Stitches Used in Projects
T
hese projects were made using the Bernina Artista sewing/embroidery machine, but can be done on any brand of sewing/embroider machine.  The lessons refer to specific Bernina stitches that you can match to your machine using the free Bernina Stitches download located in the Links section on the left side of this page.  This file has pictures of the stitch along with the stitch number to help you find similar stitches.  There is also a Bernina Stitch Conversion Chart to download for those of you who own various Bernina machines.

Join My Discussion Group
I invite you to join me and others taking these classes.  The group is private, free to you, and moderated by me, giving you a forum to ask questions, get help, and discuss the classes you are taking.  It is also a place where you can post photos of your projects, which of course, we all want to see.  Go to the Links section on this page to take you to the site to join.

Done entirely with decorative stitches on the sewing machine, you will learn how to keep those columns of stitches even, giving a beautiful professional look to this project.  This little wrap is great for sprucing up a decorative throw pillow or for wrapping around a blanket to keep in your car or picnic basket.
