Everybody’s Talking Sewing

A while back I had several excellent conversations with Cathy Gallagher of Housedressings - Fashions for Your Home.

She was very interested in our Pleat N Go, and had a bunch of questions as to whether or not it would work for her, with her drapery and home decor custom sewing. Well to make a very long story short, here are her words and a few pictures.

“You had asked me to send pictures of my finished project using the pleater board. I made 440″ of pleated edging for the valances in this room. It was the most wonderful detail I have ever used! I hope you like it - I enjoyed your product so much and plan to offer this custom detail to many customers!”

The top of the drapes and topper - again you can see the very top is pleated.

A great close-up shot of the pleats at the very top and the corded edge.

Terrific results and Cathy is happy! That was a lot of pleating and she discovered an easy way to do it. You can sew for me anytime Cathy

I’m fortunate to be able to do what I love. Oh sure there are compromises - but if you’re honest with yourself, life is full of compromises.

Everyday I not only get to play with fabric and designs, I get to to exercise my brain cells and any creativity I possess.

I ask you now, how incredibly wonderful is that!

Actually I’ve been doubly gifted, I’m also a Web site designer - that means I get to work with some wonderful people and companies.

This past Friday we made live a Web site for a company that produces digitizing embroidery software. We still have to add the galleries, but all the information and some terrific videos and image are there.

As most of you know I don’t rave about a product unless I really, really like it. I really, really like this software!

It’s called Creative DRAWings® and it’s amazing. Not only is it easier to use then the current embroidery software, you call also use it with all the different embroidery machines - even some of the commercial versions.

It’s also a whole lot less expensive… shhhhhh.

You can only buy this software from your sewing machine dealer; there’s a list on the Web site of dealers - with more coming on every week.

Take a moment and check out the videos, there are six of them on the Web site, everything from converting graphics and images to embroidery, using fonts and wingdings and making them editable embroidery to almost instant redwork.

All the images here were created in Creative DRAWings®. Go check them out… and tell them Annie sent you.
