Proverbs 9

9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

I hope you have been enjoying the scriptures in Jackie's Weekly Corner.  I pray the Lord bless you and your family as you read and consider them.  The scriptures tell us what to meditate on and fill our minds with (see Philippians 4:8), it is up to us whether we do it or not.  In our busy world, this is difficult to do, there are many distractions from many directions.  I invite you to take a few moments each week and meditate on the scriptures shared with you here. You will be surprised at the results, as you make this part of your life.  I'd love to include your favorites too.  Please email them to support@oregonpatchworks.com and may the Lord's blessings touch your life in a real and tangible way, THIS day.  Hugs and Blessings <>< Jackie

This Week's Embroidery And Sewing Tips
 

EMBROIDERY TIP 1

If you are working on velvet, corduroy, chiffon, organza, crepe, organdie, and other lightweight fabrics hoop them gently to avoid marks. The simplest way to protect the fabric is to place a buffer between it and the hoop. This buffer can be fabric, backing, or even tissue paper.
 

EMBROIDERY TIP 2

Another idea is to wrap the inner ring of your hoops when embroidering on delicate fabrics.   This will avoid snagging the goods, stops the fabric slipping and will cushion the fabric, avoiding a contact shine or deeper hoop impression. You can use bias binding or any soft gauze or tape for this.

This is a zippered tote bag I made for my 7-year old granddaughter.   Her school colors are red, white & blue, so it works perfectly for an 'after-school activity' bag.  I embroidered the cute Cheerleader design from Designs by JuJu on the pocket along with some decorative stitch borders.
