Excellent video for all levels of sewing. Thank you!
Will try the elastic method tomorrow on our charity sewing.

I am making small ITH stockings for gift cards and flatware on the dinner table. Making Christmas Gift pillows (see Baby-Lock serger project for Bow Tie Quilt square). Christmas fabrics with a big red bow tie. Embroidering "To You" in one block and "From Me" in the other. Quick and easy unique gift.

Teaching a class with various Christmas packages around the bottom of a skirt with lame' bows of red and gold. Will finish a boiled wool jacket with holly embroidery to go over a white blouse with collar and cuffs I am finishing of Boutis french embroidery. Even though I am in my 70's, I enjoy dressing for the holidays.

Thanks for opening the forum to the subject.

Yes, we often have food along with our sew-a longs. The most popular dessert is SEW easy and published in the ASG Cookbook. It is known as The Cake. 1 Box of Pillsbury Angel Food Cake Mix and 1 Can of Crushed Pineapple. Mix and bake in tube tin. Delicious and lower in calories.

Excellent and very helpful.
See you in LA.

Louise has an unique way of making adjustments simple. Thank you Sew much. She is by far one of the best educators and I appreciate the time she shares with us through Threads.

I have attended several of Louise's classes and completed the core class and Certification class last year. It was well worth my time and very reasonable. Louise has given me more confidence in my ability to sew for myself and share with others. So glad to see that the continuing education is available for others.

THANK YOU!
Jan

Great article on the CTC bags. What a wonderful group of people helping people through sewing.

What a beautiful job! And to think you would take your precious time to share with others to inspire them to get involved with Susan. Susan and Sue are a perfect match! We're proud of you!

I love the Hallmark Station and am so glad to see Martha make the move. Have watched every new series and very impressed. Love Martha's new hair do and she looks happy.

Congratulations on having KK. Love the DKY and J Crew session last night.

I love it Louise! Rest assured that I will be using this technique.

Thanks!

I am most thankful for my wonderful, supportive husband who thinks everything I sew is "cool." I am also very thankful for my ASG Sisters who have shared so much of their knowledge to make me a better sewist.

I am thankful for the national educators who work tiresly, travel sewwww many miles and continue to design patterns to our liking. Special gratitude to Louise Cutting, Emma Seabrooke, Linda Lee, Linda McGehee, Linda MacPhee, Judy Fenton and Susan Khalje. Thank you Loralie Harris for keeping us supplied with the most adorable embroidery designs to relate to our passions.

Thank you Threads for keeping me inspired with great techniques and resources.
Graphics in your magazine are superb and your contributing editors are "the best."

Happy Thanksgiving to all while our attitudes determine our gratitude. Peace on Earth! Jan

I learn by doing. You'll have to show this technique at our October Retreat. Which pattern would I use this on?
