Fun things happening on my sewing table this week. I’ve been having a blast playing with the contents of the October Perfectly Pieced subscription box send to me by M.E. Time.
Perfectly Pieced is a brand new method for for foundation piecing (and quilting!) perfect quilt blocks in the hoop on an embroidery machine. This post is sponsored but all thoughts and opinions are my own. Go here –> to read my first introduction to M.E. Time Perfectly Pieced and foundation piecing quilt blocks in the hoop.
Two different subscription options are available: 1 is the option to get a box of fabric + goodies delivered to your doorstep as well as all of the digital block and quilting files delivered electronically.
If you’ve already got more fabric than you need, and/or you want to pull from your own fabric stash, the second option is to subscribe to the monthly digital files only.
All digital designs – both block and quilting options – are available exclusively to Perfectly Pieced subscription members. More details on how it all works found here.
Each month M.E. (Machine Embroidery Time) releases a new foundation pieced block design and sends out a subscription box with a curated fabric bundle and pattern instructions to make 4 different projects. Also included in the doorstep delivery are a fun notion, quilt-y themed notecard and spool of coordinating embroidery thread.
Each month’s unique quilt block design is available in 4 different sizes: 2″ x 2″, 4″ x 4″, 6″ x 6″ and 8″ x 8″ (finished block sizes).
AND there are two different machine quilting designs included each month. One is a design that can can be used on a block-by-block system. The other is an allover design that pairs perfectly with the Kimberbell Clear Blue Tiles Machine Quilting System that can be used to create quilting on any size project.
(All block and quilting designs are for use on a machine with embroidery capabilities.)
The October subscription block is traditional Flying Geese with each block made up of 2 flying geese triangle blocks. And here’s this month’s block quilting design on the 4″ x 4″ flying geese block.
Here’s an example of a mini quilt I finished with the July Perfectly Pieced box. This mini is made from the block by block method – where each block is pieced and then quilted individually. When the blocks are pieced together the quilt design
This month’s quilting design contains files for an allover vine-y leaf design as well as a twisted braid border design (seen in this sample below from M.E. Time.)

The value of these quilting designs make the digital subscription alone so worth it!
As I mentioned, the October box features a Flying Geese block made up of two Flying Geese triangle units. I was so excited for this one because this block is SO universal and useful in making lots of quilt designs.
Here’s an example of some of the uses and project patterns and inspiration included in the box this month:

How to Foundation Piece in the Embroidery Hoop
Here’s a little peak at how this method works. This month I put together a quick video to give you a feel for how these blocks are pieced in the embroidery hoop.
Basically, the block is stitched and built on a piece of stabilizer in the hoop.
As you can see here, I was able to piece six 2″ x 2″ (2 ½″ x 2 ½″ unfinished) blocks inside one of my medium size hoops. (My embroidery machine is a Baby Lock Destiny II.)
This saves so much time and waste not having to re-hoop as often.
Then I removed the blocks from the hoop and squared-up each block to 2 ½″ x 2 ½″. One of my favorite reasons to use this method is that, just like foundation paper-piecing, you end up with a perfectly accurate quilt block – no tips trimmed off! And I especially love that in these mini blocks.
I’m using those little 2″ x 2″ flying geese blocks, to put together these 4″ x 4″ pinwheel blocks.
One consideration to keep in mind – as with all forms of foundation piecing, such as foundation paper-piecing, you do have to get over any hang ups about fabric waste. These blocks do take more fabric, but the accuracy of the piecing is the reward for the sacrifice.
One thing I love about this method of foundation piecing is that you’re working on your project right-sides up – no having to sew and flip like you do with paper.
And I like that the four available sizes for each block provide SO many options for layout combinations and are easy to play with.
Above is a glimpse of the September Perfectly Pieced box and blocks. Aren’t those houses so cute? Once again: especially those 2″ x 2″ blocks!
You can read more details about Perfectly Pieced and all that it offers here. As I mentioned, subscription options are available for either the box + downloadable block and quilting files, or you can subscribe to the block/quilting files only and they will be delivered by email. And the October box is still available!
AND!
In other very fun news, M.E. Time has not one but 3 of the October boxes for me to giveaway to one of you! (Even if you don’t have a machine with Embroidery capabilities, this is still a pretty great prize as you’ll get 9 different fabrics, festive leaf pins + a spool of thread.)
To Enter This Giveaway from M.E Time, leave a comment on this post.
If you want to let me know if you have (or have ever looked into) a sewing machine with embroidery capabilities. I’d be curious to get an idea from my audience of how many of you have or are interested in machine embroidery.
Giveaway open until Thursday, October 13 at midnight. Three winners will be randomly selected and sent a box directly from ME. Time.
WINNERS!
I have a Babylock Destiny II as well and love to quilt my smaller quilts with it. I am intrigued by this subscription box. There’s nothing I love more than getting a box in the mail full of goodies I will use. It’s like Christmas every month!
It is exciting to me to consider making flying geese blocks with my embroidery module! I really need to learn this method.
I have been looking at this and wondering if I could do it. It really looks like something I could enjoy. I have an embroidery machine (and have had it 5 years) and hardly used it since I am unsure of how to do things-even though I look the class on it. I would to try this since it looks so interesting.
FREE SHIPPING!
Didn’t win the giveaway? I still have something special for you. Enjoy free shipping on any ME Time subscription!
Use code VYGMRT6V for free shipping. Code does not expire.
Machine Embroidery is a relatively new adventure for me. I first got my Destiny II from Baby Lock about 5-6 years ago, but hardly ever used the embroidery capabilities. It’s been one of my goals to learn more about what my machine could do and experiment with more projects and I’m enjoying it so much!
Perfectly Pieced has been the perfect process for holding my hands, teaching me how to do this. Their instructions are outstanding. Using the Perfectly Pieced method has been such a great learning and confidence boost with all aspects of using my Embroidery Machine!
Angela VE
I’ve not done a lot of embroidery. I did treat myself to the Sashiko machine and want to use it for more projects
Carol Denson
I would love to win the M.E Time Perfectly Pieced giveaway and would use it to create a fall-themed quilt with flying geese and falling leaves.
Gloria
Thanks for video and opportunity to win a ME time box. That helped me understand how the box works. I too have an embroidery machine that I need to learn and explore.
MERRY Sagstetter
Just entering thr “ring” of embroidery machine shopping!
Debbie Goodwin
I am pretty new to sewing with a machine and can you embroider with a normal household machine or do you have to invest in an embroidery machine. Thankyou for the chance to win one of these boxes a great way of finding out whether a subscription would work for an individual whether whole box or just digital. Great content news letter too so much packed it really enjoyed this.
Amy
Great question. The Perfectly Pieced blocks are made to be used with embroidery attachments and capabilities.
Kimberley
I not only love the colors of this kit, but also love the versatility that I could make several different looking projects. I also appreciate how designers are coming up with quick ways to get these projects done for those who don’t have loads of time to craft
Linda Hoffman
I have a Brother embroidery/sewing machine & have never used the embroidery aspect of it, but want to learn. I’m intrigued by your foundation piecing in a hoop method!
Barbara
Piecing on an embroidery machine is so much fun! The sharp points and accurate seams are a bonus. I love the M.E. Time boxes. The designs are really nice!
Leslie Barton
I haven’t looked too much into embroidery just yet. I’m still so enamored with my quilting machine, the Baby Lock Soprano. I can see that being something I’d be interested in in a few years.
Mallory
I’ve never tried foundation paper piecing but would love to learn a new skill! Thanks for giving away a few boxes for others to try it out.
Ashlee Cornell
Seriously your fabric choices are perfect! I love them so much!
Judy
I have not used a sewing machine with a hoop for embroidery. I enjoy using the built-in embroidery stitches on my sewing machine. I love foundation paper piecing! My blocks turn out perfect. Thank you for the give away. I love the selection of fabric and the project.
Christyane Dorssers
I love the fall colours in this months bundle. Anything purple and you’ve got me. The coordinating colours in yellow and orange really make the flying geese pattern stand out. Thank you for the opportunity to win this great prize.
Ruth-Anne Hayes
What an amazing idea! Thanks so much for the opportunity to enter. ❤️
Kelly Russell
Love the fabrics! That always makes it easier to tackle something new.
Sandra Allen
I’ve looked at embroidery machines off and on but never purchased one. I just couldn’t justify the expense. I don’t know that I would use it that much.
mistyfuji
I do have embroidery stitches on my machine and love experimenting with them on different items. I am smitten with this subscription box! My fingers are crossed as I love making flying geese and the fabrics are gorgeous.
annehaun
I have always dreamed of owning an embroidery machine – maybe someday my dream will come true!!
Deb E
I have a Bernina with embroidery capability but haven’t used it in years. Fingers crossed on winning one of these!
Jan
I prefer to have the non combo machines so if I’m stitching out a long project, I can still sew if I need to. Thanks
Tammy Steinhoff
I don’t have an embroidery machine but I see a lot of quilting done with them! The ME Time kits look wonderful!
Carol C Thomas
I have never used or purchased a sewing machine with embroidery. I have not used a hoop.
Michele T
My older machine has embroidery capabilities, but I never used them because I prefer to hand embroider.
Linda S
I don’t own an embroidery machine but those fabrics are beautiful.
Tanya G
I don’t have one, but I have been looking at them in the last month or two. I really love some of the stuff I’ve seen done with them.
Faith Hobbs
Wow! So many ideas and so little time! Thanks for posting so many tips.
buddhajames777
I’ve looked into embroidery machines because in addition to sewing and quilting, I also do embroidery, cross stitch, needlepoint, and applique. Sometimes you just need a break…need to make things easier for yourself. So many stitches…so little time!
Pat Woosley
It is exciting to me to consider making flying geese blocks with my embroidery module! I really need to learn this method.
Jennifer M
I have never done machine embroidery but absolutely love the work that you’ve featured here. I’ve been considering what to do next to take my projects to the next level…maybe this is it 🙂
Kimberly Bell Cross
Looks so fun! Neat project for winter
Tracey Law
I would love to win this!
slmrn1
Flying geese is one of my favorite blocks. This method of sewing them is very intriguing.
Jeanne Workman
I do not have an embroidery machine but would love to get one some day. The M E Time box looks really great!
Laura Williams
I would love to try out the subscription box from M.E. Time! I love those fabrics!
Linda Kaiser
I do not have an embroidery machine. I did not think I was interested, as I did not want to make embroidered blocks, heavy with thread. In the past year, I’ve noticed people are using the embroidery machine to make quilt labels and machine quilt motifs across their quilts. I think I’m becoming interested.
Jenni-Hope Kelland
I just got an embroidery machine so I can not use my horrible hand writing on quilt labels but I had no idea I could foundation paper piece with it!!!! I would love to give it a try!
Gail
I’ve only hand embroidered. My machine has lots of decorative stitches but doesn’t have the capability to embroider; I’d be interested in a machine with that capability.
gramerie5
I have never tried machine embroidery. I have a Janome, but it does not do embroidery. The prize boxes of material, etc. are none-the-less very attractive and I would be thrilled to be a winner.
Marilynn Crelier
the size options are a real winner and the contents are truly unique! All you need in the box! Of course one can still think aka create outside the box!!
Marty
I love the idea of using machine embroidery more in my quilting.
Debi B
This sounds so interesting! I recently inherited a machine with all kinds of embroidery technology and supplies. I’m actually hoping to find someone local to tell me what the heck all the stuff does and how to operate it! LOL
Patricia A Melilli
This looks awesome!
Teri
I do not have an embroidery machine but am thinking about getting one.
Jacqueline Fisher
Love foundation piecing, have not ever tried machine embroidery, but always appreciate a giveaway!
Kathleen McCormick
I have a machine that does embroidery and use it for quilt labels and special projects.
A
Yes, I have embroidery capabilities on my machine and have made use of them!
Christi Carpenter
I have 2 embroidery machines and love to work on them. I haven’t tried piecing yet, but have used it to do the edge to edge quilting. Works like a charm!!! The largest hoop I have is the 6×10 but that is big enough for most of my projects. I would love to learn more about piecing on the machine. I enjoy reading your posts and look forward to trying more projects. Thanks for all you do!! Christi Carpenter
Teri Wilkie
I do have an embroidery machine,bought second hand after my old Janome died.I still haven’t really figured out this BabyLock Ellagante2 for embroidering.I’d love someone to post an embroidery troubleshooting tutorial for these machines. 🙂
Barbara McDonald
I have tried foundation piecing and I wasn’t very good at it. BUT – with everything done in the hoop, there may be hope for me after all! I’m “this far” away from signing up!
Mary
I have experimented with the embroidery stitches that are on my regular sewing machine to make some fancier stitches on the quilt.
Jill Shafer
I love the perfect blocks that can be achieved with foundation piecing. Would love to try using my embroidery machine to get these perfect blocks.
Michelle Jones
I have no idea how to do paper piecing and I’ve been wanting to learn! I would love to win one of these boxes to try it out and see what I can create! Thank you for this extremely informative post! 🍁
momhulk
Love the fall colors in this box.
Susan Griffo
I do not have a machine with embroidery capabilities but have been researching new machines and think that the next one will have to be able to embroider.
LAURA O.
Such pretty fabrics! I love the addition of the lavender with the fall colors!
This really makes me wish I had an embroidery machine!
Amy Kollasch
I have been wanting to buy a machine that does embroidery for a while now. I informed my husband that the next machine I buy is going to an embroidery machine with a large throat space so I can use it to quilt my quilts.
Carol W
I’ve done a fair amount of machine embroidery, and have quilted a few quilts with the embroidery module. I’ve done very little piecing in the hoop, however.
Jeanne Hoerr
I just bought a couple of months ago the Baby Lock Solaris. I’ve taken a few classes & am loving all the things this machine can do. I especially wanted this machine for it’s quilting capabilities. So much fun!
Christine
FPP in a hoop is interesting. Unfortunately I sold my embroidery machine since I wasn’t using the embroidery function.
Lynn Douglass
I recently bought a Pfaff embroidery machine from a friend. I need to start learning how to use it.
laura mitchell
Great giveaway!
Anne
I have a Bernina with embroidery capability but haven’t used. 🤞 on winning one box. Thank you for the giveaway
Rochelle Saldana
This post was mind-blowing! As a newbie to sewing and quilting, I was fascinated to learn about paper piecing in an embroidery hoop.
Janey
Just found your blog! I have embroidered on two different machines and love both of them. I also recently took a class using embroidery techniques for a table runner. I would love an embroidery machine with more capabilities. Thank you for this opportunity!
EllenB
Using the embroidery on my machine would sure help with accuracy on those tiny blocks!
Chrysa Hefty
I don’t have an embroidery machine but I have been thinking about it more & more lately. Never thought of foundation piecing on one, i curious.
Stephanie martinez
Love all the ideas with the flying geese
Miriam
I what a great giveaway!
I have never done embroidery on fpp. Or embroidery on a sewing machine.
Eileen E
Please throw my name into your giveaway drawing. This concept is intriguing and I love the “M E Time” name, something all of us could use, me time! Especially now as I’m closing up “my” home for the winter.
Karen
I just bought an embroidery machine. A little overwhelmed at the prospect of learning how to use it! This system sounds awesome! Thank you for the giveaway!
Kathy R.
From watching the video, this looks like a cool way of making flying geese blocks. Would like to give this a try.
Betty T
Very interesting
Pam Tatge
I have two different embroidery machines and love them both. I used to do small projects for nieces and nephews.. i have recently started quilting and piecing in the hoop and love the precision. I would like to try out this technique to make small projects.
Scarlet Taylor
Now how cool is that! 😀 I had no idea you could do this! I have a Brother Persona. I would love to give this a try… and I love
The Oct box! Thanks for sharing!
eveofwinter
I have a Babylock Destiny II as well and love to quilt my smaller quilts with it. I am intrigued by this subscription box. There’s nothing I love more than getting a box in the mail full of goodies I will use. It’s like Christmas every month!
Gail Rees
I would like to be considered for this box, I’m a newbie to patchwork and quilting. Love seeing all the inspirations given by all the very talented people willing to share this lovely and rewarding craft….
quiltersandal
I always enjoyed hand embroidery and other hand work until my fingers became so arthritic that it has become very painful to do much handwork. I haven’t considered adding an embroidery machine to my arsenal because I seem to have enough variety otherwise to keep my creative juices flowing and satisfied.
Karen Zink
I own a Bernina embroidery machine and have never tried a paper piecing project. Maybe winning will jump start me on an exciting new journey! I would love to receive a surprise box!!
cathy k
The box looks like fun, and I do like flying geese.
Vickie Bell
I have 2 older embroidery machines by Baby Lock and love using them both! I have made lots of quilt labels and also various donated projects using the embroidery machine and even have used the larger embroidery hoop to do edge-to-edge quilting. I would like to try this method out so if I win this would be awesome!
yolanda v
I would love to win! FPP is on my new skills to learn list.
Mary B
I haven’t done much machine embroidery. I have an old Janome that has memory cards and I use that occasionally.
Helen Bowie
Awesome giveaway! I would love to win this. Thanks for sharing.
Arlene Berndt
Wow. Love the verity of sizes and the Quilting designs. Flying geese are one of my favorites.

I have an ancient Janome I use for embroidery. The box looks interesting!
Rachel Kornstadt
The kit looks amazing
Rachel Kornstadt
Looks great
Patty Bates
Time to try something new, interested!
Judy Heeb
All in the hoop looks really neat. Love the detail on the embroidery to fill blank spaces. What scissors are you using in video??
Anna Shetler
I have been looking at this and wondering if I could do it. It really looks like something I could enjoy. I have an embroidery machine (and have had it 5 years) and hardly used it since I am unsure of how to do things-even though I look the class on it. I would to try this since it looks so interesting.
Amy RM
Although I won’t be purchasing an embroidery machine soon, I am amazed how inventive quilters are!
I’d love to win the rosy-colored October’s box and celebrating the geese flying away.😉
Mary Kolb
My machine does have embroidery capabilities, I just need to find the money to buy the embroidery unit.
Antoinette
I’ve had several different embroidery machines for the past 15 years. I enjoy embroidery and traditional quilting
Fireside Quilter
Wonderful giveaway!! I enjoy to do embroidery by hand but my sewing machine is a straight stitch and doesn’t have embroidery features anyway… besides, I’m not in the position to purchase another sewing machine.
Gail
What a great giveaway. I have a machine that does have embroidery stitches but haven’t used them much. I would love the opportunity to give M.E. time a try.
Sharon
What an interesting idea!
lee
My husband ( wonderful man!!) just bought me an embroidery machines from an estate sale! I need to practice and am very excited!
Connie Schnier
I just purchased an embroidery machine and would love to learn more about it through the quilt in a hoop process.
Shannon
Like you Amy, I need to be pushed to use more of the embroidery functions of my machine. I have not used any of the embroidery functions for quilting but I would love to learn. The subscription boxes sound like a great way to do so!
Kelly Burton
I too bought an embroidery machine but have yet to use the embroidery capabilities! The m.e.Time box looks to be a perfect starter!! Thanks for sharing!!
MaryAnn Mairs
Thank you for all the information on the M.E. program. It makes me want to upgrade to a machine that can also do embroidery. I enjoy reading your blog and have been following you for some time. Keep up the good work.
Nancysue
Flying geese have always intimidated me. But my motto for 2023 is “Try new Things!” LOL! My teen son’s motto is “you just gotta get in there.” I’ve looked into machine embroidery machines with all the bells and whistles. They are a step up from me at this point, (just learning machine quilting) plus it’s hard when you grew up with ALOT of hand stitching. I think people felt this way about the microwave too, and in 5 years I’ll look back at this post, and say, “what WAS I thinking!”
Melanie Ayers
Just recently got into FPP and I’m completely hooked!!! What a great box.
Sheila
I actually recently purchased a quilting machine that came with the embroidery unit. I have not used the embroidery part yet because it is a little intimidating to me, but I am getting anxious to try it out after I finish the 4 quilts I am currently working on. I love the blocks you made with the Perfectly Pieced monthly box kits – they are so cute! I am very interested to see more about foundation paper piecing in the hoop – I am trying my hand with foundation paper piecing right now on a couple of different quilts and it is a little difficult for me; hoping it will just get easier with practice. I love all the things we can do with our sewing machines and I learn more and more about mine all the time! Thank you for sharing your work!
yoyopattycakeshotmailcom
Yes, yes, yes! I love it when you do a video showing exactly how to do part of the machine embroidery project. It makes me feel confident that I could do it too. I’ve had my embroidery machine for ten years, but like you, I hardly use it. Now I’d like to start using it more with cute small projects. The monthly kits look great! Thanks!
Susan

Renae
What a wonderful idea! Flying geese in the hoop. I would love it.
Chris Markulin
I would love to try out one of these boxes. I haven’t done FPP – so this may the way for me to get into on my Berdette B79.
Carolyn Montgomery
I would love to try this.
Susan N.
I wish I had an embroidery machine, but for me the cost is way more than I can afford. I do like paper piecing or foundation piecing, especially because of the accuracy. I would love to win the Perfectly Pieced Boxes.
Sharon Browne
I would love to win the M.E Time Perfectly Pieced giveaway. I think that type of hoop for piecing is so interesting!
Gail Holmes
I love to piece in the hoop. 💕
Gayle Ruiter
The fabrics in this bundle are gorgeous!
Amanda P Schaefer
The flying geese block is truly amazing to me. The placement variation combined with color can yield so many patterns. This is definitely being added to my to-do list after I wrap up a couple wip(s). I do have a Brother Embroidery machine so I think is something I would like to try! Thank you for your posts and this opportunity,
Jessica
Ohh what pretty fabric. My machine doesn’t have an embroidery opinion but it’s always fun to try something new.
Ruth Chapman
I have done quite a bit of machine embroidery and enjoy it; however, piecing blocks is something I haven’t tried and now would like to. Thanks for the great explanation and for offering the chance to win a kit.
Jane Hawthorne
I do have an embroidery module with my machine but haven’t used in a few years. Issue is space! I had a great place when I purchased but have since moved and just don’t have time or space to figure out how to use without a lot of setup. I have returned to hand embroidery and love the slow stitching. And just am trying out foundation piecing. That’s a kick! Thanks for the great posts!
Tracy Marisa
I have a Brother embroidery machine that I’m still learning how to use; and I got the Kimberbell Clear Blue Tiles “stuff” because I’m bound and determined to start using my embroidery machine for quilting as well. So I definitely wouldn’t mind having the ME time kit.
Melanie E.
I have a Babylock embroidery machine but I rarely use it. This is an interesting technique.
Meghan H.
I do not have an embroidery machine, but I’ve been thinking more and more about purchasing one. Thanks for the chance at this great giveaway, Amy!
Jeanette Withrow.
I love foundation paper piecing and would like a chance to win. Thanks
Dianne Bishop
I have an Everson sewing/embroidery machine but the embroidery part is lame.
Anna Shetler
This looks sooooo interesting and something I could do as a beginner. I have been following this site and thinking I might be able to handle this project. Love,love,love. Would love to win to see if it is something I could really handle on my embroidery machine-I am truly a beginner.
Cy Swendsen
Winning this M.E. Time box would be just the thing to re-start my machine embroidery adventures. My Emb machine has been ditting idle for much to long.
Laura Manning
I do not have an embroidery machine, but have tried one that my friend owns. I think this box idea is fabulous.
debbyp65
I have a Janome memory craft machine with embroidery features which I would like to use more! They have so much potential but I still work full time. Days that I work I am too mentally fatigued to try to work with this feature. Now that summer garden season is over I would love to win! I have never made a block in the hoop before! Thank you for the chance at winning.
Amy Milton
This M.E. Time box would be so much fun! I have an (ancient) Bernina Artista that I’ve done a few embroidery projects on, mostly Christmas ornaments. I’m really intrigued by the possibility of piecing in the hoop!
Ann Ostwald
I recently acquired an embroidery sewing machine and hope to learn to piece with it. The M.E. Time Perfectly Pieced box looks like it would be a great learning tool.
Lisa England
That in-the-hoop technique looks amazing! And what a wonderful box of goodies!
Judy Hawkins
What a clever idea! I, too, have a Babylock Destiny with the upgrades to make it a II. I do lots of quilt blocks in the hoop but would never have thought of paper piecing on it. My flying geese are not always the perfect ones I try for and this is the perfect solution. Would love to have the kit to give it a try. BTW, the colors are beautiful!!
Jo Anne G Hawks
Looks like an interesting technique. I am just getting used to my new embroidery machine.
Shari K.
Yes, I have an embroidery machine that I don’t use very often. Would love to win this package and help me explore more options. Looks like a winner!
Emily Wakefield
Wow! Thank you for sharing so many great quilting ideas, and the wonderful fall photos. The Me Time box looks like it would be loads of fun (even though I don’t own an embroidery machine).
Barb Johnson
I’ve done some FPP, but never in the hoop. It looks like a really easy way to make sure that all the points match perfectly.
Joan Clark
I would love to try this…ready for a challenge!
Cynthia Wilbanks
No room for an embroidery machine, so I’ll do it the old fashioned way – which I love!
Heather
I have a sewing machine that does embroidery but I have not tackled it, yet. It seems to hard to me. I would love to win this give away to jump start me on using this feature. THANKS for the offer!
Diane
I have not used an embroidery machine. I have seen it demonstrated at Kris’ quilt store in Logan, Ut. Love the goodies in the box! Along with great fabric and thread, I’m excited about those snazzy leaf pins! 🙂 Thanks, Amy.
Karen
I don’t have an embroidery machine, but the quilting looks great. Thank you for the chance to win.
Rebecca
I am a relatively new quilter, and have never tried embroidery. I purchased my Babylock Jubilant sewing machine about 2 years ago, and have completed 4 quilts. My first quilt was your Hour Glass Quilt Pattern! It is absolutely beautiful.
I would love the opportunity to learn more about embroidery, and if this is something I can accomplish my current sewing machine. Thank you for the opportunity to win this box, and all the great tutorials and patterns.
Rebecca Loach
Such lovely fabrics and a wonderful giveaway!
Judy
I have always wanted to learn how to do paper piecing and this is the perfect opportunity. I do a lot of embroidery and envy all the people that paper piece!!!
Joan Hannes
Would love to win this- looks like a fun project!
Luann
I would love to gift this to my sister. She is a wonderful quilter and has an embroidery machine she inherited from our sister who recently passed away. This would be a fun way to learn how to quilt on the machine.
Pam Suther
I have a Janome embroidery machine and do quite a bit of embroidery with it. I have been thinking about diving into doing quilting with it, but just haven’t made the jump! This system sounds very interesting-combining piecing and quilting! Great idea! Thanks for a chance to win this give away!
Laura Leseberg
I love using my embroidery machine for quilting. My blocks come together so well and my points are crisp. The fabrics in this box are lovely!
Pam
This is awesome way to do flying geese.
Lindsay
At times I’ve wanted an embroidery machine–or at least some special stitch designs to edge girl’s dresses with–but mine is nothing fancy (all metal parts). However, just under five years into a late marriage, and anticipating boy #3, it doesn’t look like I’m going to have as many embroidery opportunities as I thought I might. :o) I do love the idea of simpler FPP though… so that has me saying “maybe???” more once again… My bigger dream, though, is to find an affordable second machine with a big quilting throat!
I love your flying geese pinwheels and those fabric colors that are perfect for autumn!
Leslie
I don’t have an embroidery machine. But a recent quilt top I finished got me researching machines. The top lends itself to adding some embroidered embellishments. I don’t know why, but embroidery systems are intimidating to me. I think it’s time I put on my big-girl panties and got myself an embroidery system… 😉
MoeWest
I have a Husqvarna Viking machine with an embroidery unit. My friend was upgrading and gave me a great deal. At the time I was more interested in the sewing features but I have since come to enjoy embroidery too.
Sandra Morrow
I also have a machine that does embroidery, I have never done a in the hoop project. I have wanted to learn.
Susan Du
I have done some machine embroidery but haven’t attempted quilting or done much in the hoop projects as I’m still learning. Your blocks are so precise and pretty using this technique.
Chris Faulkner
My favorite machine is my Bernina Tula Pink 770QEE. The Kimberbell/ME Time Delivered is a great system for piecing In The Hoop. All their products are top notch.
nancy seitz
I love making HST, but don’t have as much luck making flying geese, 4 at a time. I need to figure how to make bigger and then trim. I don’t have an embroidery machine but you do a great job.
