A 'tabard' or chair back cover is a great way to add decorative flair in your dining room. One of the largest decorative spaces in your dining room is the chair backs. Adding a beautiful tabard is a great way to extend your design flair beyond the table linens. Chair covers are quite common for special events, such as weddings, but their construction is actually quite simplemuch like a table runner so why not make them for any important get together?! Our tabards were created on the new Horizon Memory Craft 12000 and take advantage of the large bed space and increased embroidery field. We show you how to edit an embroidery design in the new Horizon Link software and send it to be quickly stitched out on the MC12000. We also show you how to measure your chair and create the pretty point. We alternated the fabric colors of our tabards in ivory and celery, but kept our embroidery thread colors the same. This gives your table setting a lovely coordinated feel with just the right touch of contrast to add interest. You can see more projects that use the new Horizon Memory Craft 12000 on the machine's special website.

Visit The Project Pack o' the Month site Turn to page 50 in the current December 2011/January 2012 issue of Vogue Patterns magazine and you'll see a wonderful article from Janet Miller of Able Sewing Machine in Raynham, MA. Her "No Felt Needle Felting" project uses the Janome FM-725 Needle Felting machine. It's just one of the Janome machines that Janet says, "Explodes her creativity!" The FM-725 is a needle felting or needle punch machine that does not sew, but rather uses barbed needles to mesh fabrics together. The texture and color combinations you can achieve with the specialty machine are amazing. This is a machine you have to try to believe how easy and fun it is to use. But once you do, you'll be hooked. Check it out at your local Janome America dealer. Find Out More About the FM-725 Our creative friends at Sew4Home, where Janome America is a sponsor, recently got to use one of the debutHorizon Memory Craft 12000 machines. They came up with a number of beautiful projects, which showcase the new 9mm stitch width. Our favorite is the Rustic Scandinavian Apron featured above. The decorative stitching on the bib and skirt totally transforms a basic cotton duck design into something special. Most the 425 stitches on the Horizon Memory Craft 12000 take full advantage of the 9mm width. Plus, the machine comes standard with twenty newly designed feet to accommodate the 9mm swing. Check out the other projects S4H created on the new machine: napkins and ties, placemats and an apron all in the brand new Heirloom Collection of fabric by Joel Dewberry. Decorative Stitch Apron at S4H The Clothsetter Extension Table was designed specifically for the Memory Craft 11000 sewing, quilting and embroidery machine. Like previous Clothsetters this one allows you to place your embroidery designs with perfect accuracy. It's so accurate, in fact, that you can use it to place the various parts of multi-hoop designs. But the Clothsetter Extension Table can also be used to get better results as your design is stitching out. Measuring 13 1/2" x 26 1/2", the Clothsetter Table 11000 can help support your embroidery hoop when you're embroidering on larger projects like a quilt. To use it with embroidery, slide the Clothsetter Table into place. Then attach your hooped project for embroidery. The Clothsetter Table 11000 will help to support the extra weight. Watch the video Clothsetter Table 11000 Video: Supporting Larger Embroidery Projects to see this demonstrated. The legs, which screw into place, can be adjusted so that the table is the right height to provide stability on any surface. Clothsetter Extension Table 11000 is an exclusive Janome accessory. See your local Janome Dealer to see it demonstrated.

If you're having trouble thinking of some, you might read this funny but touching post from the Stark Raving Mad Mommy blog. (Yes, it's a year old, but probably still true.) Short and sweet, these new lessons on machine features are easy to review and implement. There are so many great new things on the Horizon Memory Craft 12000, and the machine's manual is packed with the information you need, but. sometimes it's nice to have our Janome Education experts give you the scoop on the quick and easy steps to success. We've just put new lessons online for Quiet Mode, Twin Needle Mode, Free Motion Sewing, Presser Foot Pressure, Setting the Sensitivity of the Remaining Bobbin Thread, and Adjusting the Auto Tension. You get easy, 1-2-3 directions along with helpful touchscreen images. MC12000 Lessons Online A couple of weeks back we posted some project images from a Trunk Show presented by Janome Educator Katie Vardijan. She's been visiting Janome Dealers in the western U.S. and been giving complete demonstrations of the Horizon Memory Craft 12000. These presentations are set up so you can ask questions and get a close look at samples made by the Educator who's giving the demonstration. The size of the group is limited so everybody has a chance to ask questions. For her shows Katie has brought along some beautiful garments, a wonderful assortment of pillows, and some samples of the amazing lace capabilities of the Memory Craft 12000. We got some video of her talking about the machine and how she used it to make her samples. Watch it on the Memory Craft 12000 Video page. Like many of our Educators, Katie has a passion for sewing and is often working on cutting edge projects of her own. She has become something of an expert in making late 19th century costumes and hats. You can see samples of her work on her blog All Things Vintage Rouge. Check with your local, certified Janome Dealer to see if there's a Trunk Show being scheduled for your area. Watch Katie's Trunk Show Video Page 1 of 31 Copyright 2010 Janome America, Inc.
