Piecework

Piecework Magazine

I really love Piecework but have heard from other lists that it is getting too specific in each issue. That is, all knitting in an issue or all lace. In a way I have to agree. I can do everything in needlework except for tatting. I also enjoy both experimental embroidery and historic embroidery. Same goes for quilting. Is there a way to add a bit more mix to each issue so that everyone would be happy. I don't want to see this magazine go out of business as many have - I remember at least 3 - maybe 4, that were wonderful but eventually closed due to lack of materials. Let's not let this happen to this magazine!

Mixed media collage-type quilts: kind of like crazy quilting- I'm very excited about it! This gives me no boundries! I get to quilt, embellish with any differant types of materials, embroider... The possibilities are endless!

Ironing Seams :(

I have one pet peeve , well thats a lie, I probably have hundreds but I see women ironing little 1/4 inch seams like someone is going to look disaprovably at them and it drives me crazy , The Quilt Police will not arrest you if you dont iron perfect !!! I lived in the days when everything was ironed and it wasnt fun , it isn't in quilting either,whats more most isnt needed, you need to iron the tops before quilting but the fabric seems are going to mush where they want to anyway fabric has a mind of its own and I won't spend more time ironing than quilting no matter what the Quilt Police say :) Am I alone on this one :) Linda

Hi,

I have a Brother PE 700II and a Brother PE 150 embroidery machine. I have been embroidering for over 5 years. I also have just started learning to digitize my own designs. What fun!!
