Fabric B–Valentine’s Day Fabric.
Cut four 10″ wide x 17″ tall rectangles from

Sewing Secret Revealed! To make one Wine Tote appear to be two completely different totes, sew two outer pieces together using two different fabrics! (And, sew two inner pieces together using two different fabrics). We also call this our Color Blocked Wine Tote!
Pin or Wonder Clip inner fabrics, right sides together, at top narrow edge (one each of two different fabrics). Pin or Wonder Clip outer fabrics, right sides together, at top narrow edge (one each of two different fabrics).
Or, to make a traditional Wine Tote, with coordinating outer fabric (and coordinating inner fabric), place like fabrics right sides together – just like with did in our Halloween Wine Tote Sewing Tutorial.
Attach an
Open Toe Presser Foot
to sewing machine, and insert a new
Schmetz Universal Sewing Machine Needle, Sz. 80
.Stitch seams, along top narrow edges.
Extend the life of the cutting mat, and cut on the “reverse side” of the mat – when rotary cutting with a pinking blade!
Press seams open over a
Tailor’s Clapper
– to flatten seams.
Using an Open Toe Presser Foot makes it easy to stitch directly on the marked line!
Use The Big Jig behind and under presser foot, to keep presser foot level when sewing multiple layers!
Our Valentine’s Day Wine Tote holds one or two standard wine bottles, and also makes a great gift bag – with a built-in handle!

Valentine Applique Coaster Sewing Tutorial & FREE! Applique Printable
Celebrate Valentine Sewing and stitch a set of Reversible Palette Coasters with our Whimsical Valentine Appliques! We stitched this easy sewing project with just four fat quarters! Our reversible drink coasters, or mug rugs, feature an envelope back and a front flat surface — an ideal “palette” for showcasing seasonal appliques! The reverse side opens to wrap around the base of a stemmed-glass.
Four coordinating cotton quilting fabrics
Assorted fabric scraps – for appliques Quilter’s Starch Savvy Pellon’s® ShirTailor Interfacing by the Yard Eze-View Pressing Cloth Non-Stick Teflon Pressing Sheet Wonder-Under Paper Backed Fusible Web Clover’s 5-1/8″ and 6-3/4″ Bordeaux Ultimate Scissors Open Toe Applique Presser Foot Clover’s Straight Tailor’s Awl/Stiletto Clover’s Point 2 Point Turner Clover’s Wonder Clips Clover’s Rotary Cutter and Mat, & Ruler Schmetz Chrome Embroidery Needles, Size 75/11 Optional: 1/4″ Quilting Presser Foot NEW! Mettler Silk Finish Cotton Thread Kit – Summer Iron
Preshrink fabrics by steaming and pressing, and steaming and pressing a second time, and then spray press and starch fabric with June Tailor’s Quilter’s Starch Savvy — press and starch, press and starch.
We selected four different Fat Quarters – for the back of our coasters.
Machine Appliqué
Download and print our FREE! Lots of Love Applique Printable Patterns.
After cutting out our applique shapes, we auditioned background fabrics:
Using a Non-Stick Teflon Pressing Sheet, press appliqués to palette coaster front fabric – using a dry iron.
Attach an
Open Toe Applique Presser Foot
, insert a new
Schmetz Chrome Embroidery Needles, Size 75/11
, and set sewing machine for an appliqué stitch, blanket stitch, or medium zigzag stitch (3.5 mm width, 1.4 mm length).Stitch around outside edges of appliqués.
When stitching –or appliquéing– designs to fabric, stop with needle down on the outside of appliqué fabric when turning outside curves or corners; and stop with needle down on the inside of appliqué fabric when turning inside curves and corners! Always test stitches on a sample appliqué number– fused to a fabric scrap.
Layer front appliqued square to one 5″ coordinating fabric square, with wrong sides together and appliqued square facing up. Position two 2-1/2″ x 5″ fold fabric rectangles over thread-embellished square – with folded edges meeting at middle, and raw edges aligning to outer edges.
Optional: Insert a
1/4″ Quilting Presser Foot,
and use
Nancy Zieman’s Wrapped Corner Technique
to stitch and “wrap” coaster seams toward center – folding along previous stitching lines. Stitch seams twice, for durability! Find
Nancy Zieman’s Wrapped Corner Technique
in our
previous Blog Posting
.
Use Clover’s Straight Tailor’s Awl Stiletto to assist feeding fabric layers under presser foot.
.Turn Reversible Palette Coaster right side out, using
Point 2 Point Turner
to push out corners.Press.Repeat steps above and complete additional coasters.
Our Reversible Palette Coasters are so fun to make, you’ll be stitching new coasters for every holiday! And, they make a great addition to a gift basket!

Faux Fur Infinity Scarf Sewing Tutorial by Team NZP
Stitch a warm and snuggly winter scarf with our Faux Fur Infinity Scarf Sewing Tutorial by Team NZP. If you’re in a cold climate, like the NZP Team in Wisconsin, you’re already familiar with “bundling up before heading out”. Take on winter in style with our Infinity Scarf! Yes, you can make a fabulous infinity scarf from faux fur!
Deanna, from Team NZP, made this Faux Fur Infinity Scarf with 2/3 yd. faux fur. She’s also successfully stitched our infinity scarf from 1/2 yd. faux fur – cutting a faux fur fabric rectangle measuring 18″ x 40″.
Clover’s Pen Style Chaco Liner Clover’s Flower Head Pins Clover’s 6-3/4″ Bordeaux Ultimate Scissors Clover’s 5-in-1 Sliding Gauge
Schmetz 90/14 Stretch Needle Hand Sewing Needle Optional: Protect ‘n Grip Thimble Flexible Thimble Set CuttingMeasure and cut a faux fur rectangle measuring 24″ x 40″.On fabric wrong side, mark cutting lines with Clover’s Chaco Liner .
Using a 6-3/4″ Bordeaux Ultimate Scissors cut along marked lines, cutting only the fabric backing—not the fur.
Cut on marked lines with the tip of the scissors, cutting only the backing, not the fur. Cutting faux fur in the traditional manner leaves you with a complete mess of fur! If you happen to cut the fur, simply use a vacuum with hose attachment to help with the clean up! 
Place faux fur right sides together, matching long 40″ edges.
Pin
.Using a
Schmetz 90/14 Stretch Needle
and 1/4″ seam allowance, stitch the long 40″ seam, backstitching on each side of the 4″-6″ opening.
Be sure to leave the 4″–6″ marked opening unstitched! This is a no-sew zone!
Stitching the long 40″ seam, creates a faux fur fabric tube.
Using
Clover’s Chaco Liner
, place a mark on fabric wrong side – marking the fold line at one short end. Repeat marking the fold line at opposite short end.
Through the seam opening, turn the long tube end right side out.
Give the scarf a half-twist while folding the tube onto itself, matching right sides of the short ends.Align opposing seams and snips at the end to maintain the twist.
Pin seam with long Flower Head Pins.
Sew scarf ends together, using 1/” Seam.
.
Turn the faux fur scarf – right side out – through the opening.
Our Fabulous Faux Fur Infinity Scarf is complete!

50 Tips to Sew Smart and Sew Kind by Nancy Zieman
While cleaning a closet in 2011, our founder Nancy Zieman ran across a copy of Life’s Little Instruction Book by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. (Published ’91). Needing a break from the cleaning task, Nancy read the little book cover to cover. The helpful hints caused Nancy to pause at one of her favorite tips, #368—Remember no one makes it alone. Have a grateful heart and be quick to acknowledge those who help you out. Reading the book gave Nancy the idea to create the following list of 50 Tips for Sewing and Quilting Enthusiasts.
50 Tips to Sew Smart & Sew Kind by Nancy ZiemanWhen you receive a compliment on something you’ve sewn, quilted, or embroidered, graciously say, “Thank you.” Please don’t point out the flaw that only you can find.Support your local sewing and quilting stores.Teach your kids or grandkids to sew on a button and fix a hem. Give them a small sewing kit when they leave home for college or the next chapter of their life.Label your best sewing scissors “For fabric cutting only.” Or, keep it in a box in the freezer with the label, “Chicken Livers.” (This hint is attributed to Nancy Harp, Aurora, MN.)Store unfinished projects in clear, plastic bins that have snap-on covers. All pieces will stay together as to not lose sight of what’s inside.Give a small sewing kit to a member of a wedding party: thread (white, black, or neutral, and the color of the attendant’s attire), needles, scissors, and perhaps double sided basting tape or fabric glue.Keep a small sewing repair kit in the glove box of your car.Join a guild or sewing group, endless possibilities for inspiration and friendship.Make and donate something every year to a charitable organization. The gift is in the giving. Use the best fabric that your budget affords. The project made may be the only made-with-love gift that someone receives in his/her life. (later in 2011, Nancy created QuiltToGive.com ).Use a calendar to quickly keep track of projects sewn or quilted in a year. Pin a swatch of fabric at the date completed along with a few notes. Amaze yourself with what has been accomplished in a year.Start a new sewing or quilting project by cleaning/oiling your machine and changing the needle. An ounce of prevention…Donate aged fabric to a charitable sewing group. Unused fabric of five or more years, likely will not be used. Feel good about cleaning out your fabric stash and the recipients will appreciate the donation.Listen to audio books or podcasts while sewing or quilting.Keep water-soluble stabilizer in a zip-type plastic bag to prevent it from drying out.Plug sewing machine(s), iron(s) and light into an electrical strip. When leaving your sewing area, just one switch to turn off and never wonder if the iron was turned off!A seam sealant like June Tailor’s Fray Block is a must to seal all serger thread tails or edges.To save time later, wind several bobbins with thread, before starting a project.Purchase good quality sewing and quilting thread, the results are worth it.Make it a habit to clip the corner of fabric that you’ve pre-washed. This demarcation is a valuable time saver!Schedule a sewing escape each year, such as an evening class, a 3-day event, or a quilt show, such as, The Great Wisconsin Quilt Show in Madison WI. Be inspired by creativity!Thank the person who taught you to sew and/or quilt.Cut elastic to the needed length after inserting it into a casing. It’s easier to handle and less elusive!When sewing or quilting, look for a way to improve the process.Write the pattern number or book reference of your project inside the hem or another inconspicuous area, using a permanent fabric-marking pen, for future reference.Add a label to every sewn-with-love project given away. Besides writing or stitching a name, add the date, and occasion.Not using purchased fabric right away? Label fabric with yardage, using an archive safe note and Wonder Clip. This will save time looking through your fabric stash, determining if you have enough yardage for the next project.Keep June Tailor’s Fabric Glue Stick or Clover’s Double Sided Basting Tape on hand. The glue works as a basting or tacking aid when positioning trim or “pinning” hems. The glue dries clear and will not gum-up your machine.Use Clover’s Wonder Clips as pin alternatives when working with thick fabrics or multilayers of fabric.Pattern Shape Weights hold pattern in place, you can also use can goods from the kitchen–for alternative pattern weights.Start sewing for the holidays early.If you garden as well as sew or quilt, use leftover crosswise quilt strips to tie tomato vines to a supportive post. The soft fabric doesn’t damage the vine.Enjoy the sewing process. It’s therapeutic!Keep a small empty container that once housed, for example, vitamins in your sewing area. Use it to dispose of worn-out needles.Position the ironing board away from the sewing machine. Getting up, walking, and stretching is important.Don’t hide your sewing machine in a closet. Assign a corner of a bedroom, great room, or office for easy access!For a raised cutting table, cut (or have someone cut) four, 6–8″ lengths of PVC pipe. Slide the pipes over the legs of a heavy-duty folding table. Or use bed risers.Read pattern or project instructions, start to finish, before beginning a project. (Sometimes we just “read” the illustrations and then read the instructions if the step looks confusing.) Have a good understanding of the entire process before you begin, will make the project easier.To mark a point where you need to stop stitching, insert two pins close together, or perhaps a Wonder Clip. It works just like a stop sign!A bar of soap with the paper covering intact is a pleasant-smelling pincushion substitute.If the sewing machine thread breaks, here are two tips that solve the problem 90% of the time: 1). Totally re-thread the machine, following manufactures guidelines. 2). If #1 doesn’t work, insert a new sewing machine needle–make sure you have the correct needle for the project.Attention Embroiderers: Use strips of Blue Painter’s Tape to position a project to the hooped stabilizer.When combining fabrics, the inclination is to choose all medium shades. Combining light, medium, and dark fabrics will give your project more eye-appeal.Use Sticky Notes to mark frequently used cutting lines on your quilting rulers. These visual markings will improve your accuracy.Use a flannel-backed vinyl tablecloth as a temporary design wall. Pin under a casing at one end of the tablecloth, thread a curtain rod through the casing, and hang the design wall with two small nails at each end of the rod.Not enough cupboard or drawer space? Use a cutlery carrier to store frequently used sewing notions.For knot-free hand sewing, run a threaded needle through a dryer sheet a few times. The anti-cling solution will ensure smooth hand sewing.Cut drinking straws in half and place over thread rack spool pins to increase the capacity.Give a start-to-sew kit to a friend. Include scissors, tape measure, pins, pincushion, seam ripper, and a coupon for a personalized sewing lesson!Keep a roll of paper toweling near the ironing board. When fusing web or interfacing, place sheets of the toweling on the ironing board. If the fusible sticks to the paper towels, simply toss!Count your blessings. Thank God for the gift of creating with your hands.Share your favorite sewing tips, in the comments below!
