The pictures were so lovely. The work just HAD to be sewn by professionals.I told myself, "I'm not THAT good". "I can't do any of that"!~~~I was wrong!~~~You can begin and end a project just using straight stitches (Lesson One). Or take the next step and include bias binding (Lesson Two) and other tapes and trims. Add cords such as rat tail, soutache, rick-rack (Lesson Three). Play with pearled cotton, embroidery wool, different types of threads on your sewing machine bobbin. Cut out fabric applique and create some amazingly artful stitching!And, of course, stunning free motion machine embroidery and quilting lessons and projects!~~~I just HAD to play with Lesson One!(This looked simple and fast) It does not have to be complicated to be awe worthy!I folded and creased the fabric to "mark" my red stitch turn points rather than mark them with an invisible pen.My work, on the left, took me all of about 5 minutes. For such a simple idea, I was impressed with the outcome. I was so encouraged!So....I moved to Lesson 3This is where your vintage Singer Underbraider, Braiding Foot, any attachment with a cording foot (see photo below for an example of a cording foot) or Blind Stitch Braider comes into play!Another 5 minutes! This was easy and fun!So, I jumped forward to Lesson 10.Hey! I can do this!(I need practice. But, I can do it)! Just these three creative skills will be exciting and effective additions to my stitchery ideas!And none of them took a lot of time.~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~More! Lots of pictures!And at the end of this listing, I'll show you an old Singer Embroidery Stitch Sampler made in the late 1800's on a Singer straight stitch treadle (embroidery not for sale).

There you have it!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Here is a beautiful Singer Machine Embroidery Lesson Book with Progressive Exercises You Can Explore, Learn from and ENJOY! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Below is an exquisite old Singer Embroidery Stitch Sampler demonstrating stitches shown and taught in your Singer Machine Embroidery Book. This Singer sampler was produced on a Singer Treadle Sewing Machine in the late 1800s. It used to extol the virtues of buying a brand new Singer Sewing Machine! My Singer Stitch Sampler is not for sale at this time.~~~Look closely. Every single stitch was controlled by the patient treadling Seamster. The fabric was moved by hand from side to side, back and forth under the moving needle. The machine artist used the machine needle in the same manner as a hand needle to create satin stitches, open work, hemstitches and pulled thread work for an exquisite hand embroidered look.
