When you need a new pillow and you can't find the right one, then you make one!
My Pfaff Creative Icon and the Premier +2 Embroidery Ultra made it so easy. As I have learned more about my Pfaff Creative Icon, I have found two very valuable resources to help. One is
Vantage Embroidery Software Support and this is all about the software.
Here is what you get with the subscription
- Free, fast, friendly support from knowledgeable team members.
- Monthly projects created just for our members. Each project designed to teach you new skills.
- Access to the VANTAGE™ Video Library with new videos added each month.
- Advanced Support which includes allowing our support team to remotely connect to your computer to troubleshoot over the internet.
- Exclusive monthly newsletters detailing the lessons and videos.
- Exclusive online education events.
With each monthly newsletter, I work the lesson and it really helps learn more about the software. Also, it helps my creativity. One of the lessons was on all the fonts and different ideas. I really liked the idea with the Stencil Font and the Quilt Block Wizard.
I couldn't find the right yellow fabric and was looking around my Pfaff dealer and found the perfect tea towel. She has a great selection of colors and they use them for all sorts of embroidery projects. One of the things, the towels were the perfect size for this pillow.
I stitched this out the first time in a tone-on-tone but you couldn't see my design. So I stitched it again in a blue color, much better.
Now thanks to Vantage Embroidery Software Support, I used the lesson to make this pillow.
First off , use the stencil font, which I had to make a larger gap between letters so the crosshatch would go between the letters.
After the letters, head to the Quilt Block Wizard, paste it and then pick a pattern. I went with a cross hatch but their are lots of choices.
Select only the lettering and then delete
Look what you get now
I used quilt batting in the hoop with the towel to make more "texture" with the design.
My pillow turned out cute and I might have some Christmas gift ideas with this same technique - Noel, Joy, Merry!
I have the pleasure of being a Pfaff Brand Ambassador
Great job! love it!
