one of my sponsors and kind of do a play on favorite things so this year i chose designs machine embroidery and you're going to see about 20 products that i picked that are my favorites of designs machine embroidery also known as dime so that very first box that you see that first product that is a brand new virtual event that is coming up um january 5th that embroidery garden is going to be

still hearing this live stream dime is also giving you free shipping on products you have to use the code my fav21 and if you see behind me the sign here it says my fave 21 that's the code for free

looks really good looks like everyone can see me and hear me we've already got over 600 people logged in which is great let me um go through my list here so another thing um the free shipping code talked about that um oh there was something else winners how you how are you gonna know if you won so winners are picked from the registered viewers you had to register if you did not register you

questions someone is asking about okay closed captioning i you would probably have to be on youtube for to read the closed captioning um that you know i'm not 100 sure about that but probably go to youtube and there's some kind of controls down at the bottom but you're missing the products that are going to be talked about on this venue page anything else okay all right i see a lot of people

thanks a lot everyone is saying um uh how happy they are uh with all these prizes that are being given away uh yeah carla the clapper i use it i really do it is it it helps in pressing and i've done videos um on it live demos and things throughout um the year so yeah clapper is really important especially too if you like to sew basic sewing i think i saw a comment come through asking about my little flower my poinsettia this is a design that is from the garden flower lace collection which is a collaboration with dime um this one happens to be their dimensional so there are several layers here i stitched this and you know what let me kind of take it off and bring it up close to you let's see i don't know if you're going to be able to see the shine on this you can see that it's dimensional but this is actually stitched with metallic thread so i don't know about you guys but i only use the king star metallic thread this is by dime it's one of the products listed underneath this video this is their little holiday quartet pack it's a four pack it's got the silver it's got the red the green and the gold in it i stitched this freestanding lace design with king star in the upper thread and in the bobbin thread and did not have one problem at all and i see the people coming in saying they love king star so if you use metallic thread and you have problems with it breaking shredding um kinking up etc try the king star um thread it is just it's superior to any other and this i think is a nice little four pack you can also use these colors you know they just don't have to be holiday colors i've seen people stitch things um you know silver can be used for any time it's very elegant also the gold um so go ahead and um you know do some shopping down below buy yourself what you want because you know you might not get what you want for christmas right molly all right so let's see who's up next um let's see i'm looking through some of the comments here never had an issue with kingstar that's right joann's popping in about kingstar right so i really truly think everyone knows about dime's kingstar thread if you're new you may not know about it but if you want to stitch with metallics king star is the way to go remember anything you order um using the links below don't forget to use that ship free shipping code my myfav21 it's going to be valid until 12 20 at

different um ones for janome i have uh for the different machines including the um the skyline 9 the 500 e and the 15 thousand so there are packs for those did you have a question molly or anything okay so what does the president hoop pad do well you know when you're working on in the hoop designs um a lot of times you gotta work on the back side of the hoop so what the president hoop pad does it allows your hoop to fit on top of the pad so that when you are working on your designs and a lot of times i know in my in the hoop designs you have to work on the back side of the hoop and you're manipulating fabrics and you're pressing them over it's nice to press them now if you don't have any support underneath your hoop what you're going to be doing is you're going to be pressing on your stabilizer you're going to be shifting and moving it and your project isn't going to turn out as nice as it can be excuse me it's also great in case you got to rip out stitches i know we all hate to do that but if you have something that you need to rip out and you put the pad underneath the hoop you are able then to press down either using your seam ripper or what i just discovered was um i was using the seam ripper from dime which is a product shown below this video and i was able to quickly be able to put these stitch ripper on my stitches and just rip them out and i could put it down on the pad because now i have support underneath my hoop and i'm not pressing and moving my stabilizer if you guys are a member of mike john's facebook group he's mama boys designs he just showed the precedent hoop pads and how to use them with applique his words they're a game changer so um if you aren't a member of his group and it's mama boys designs you can go to this group you can watch his video um he is a baby lock ambassador he does amazing tutorials on different machines you know the scan and cut machine all the baby lock machines and um he was doing a tutorial showing how you can create your own appliques and then he showed my pads and how to use them for applique so someone is going to win you're going to let me know which of the pads um that will go with your machine and you're going to win the set of pads i did see someone have a uh come through with the question that said when are they going to be available i had a shipment in and they are on the website right now birdiegarden.com but you better hurry because they have been going very quickly i can barely keep them in stock so to go over again what i personally am giving away it's the 50 gift card to

i know it's very hard to see let me see if i can't get it to focus and maybe there a little bit but i could easily create this it has very nice body to it and it's because of the product i used and it's the poly uh perfect poly patch twill it comes in a roller i see they just started selling sheets of it and i kind of took this one and i added a key fob hardware it's not really a key fob but i thought it made it look like an ornament and you know it was very very easy in their software to quickly create this and of course i made one that says you're on the nice list well i had to make one that says you're on the naughty list too because hey there's some people on the naughty list too aren't they molly yeah not us but um so you know there are different ways to make patches but if you like to make patches you know check out that um poly patch uh material that is directly below this video you can even cut it on a scanning cut it's got some kind of special backing on it so it's not

it's alice best jackson um alice has supported embroidery garden's favorite things for the last few years alice is an abstract artist and a surface pattern designer she turns her art into fabric through spoon flower so she is an amazing artist i met alice in washington state at an event probably oh i don't know three or four years ago at quality sewing and if i remember right if alex is on here um i think she didn't know anything about in the hoop designs at the time and you know i came to teach the class and she was there and i think i kind of hooked her on in the hoop designs so i do have a video from alice that we're going to see in a little bit but i wanted to show you this this is some of alice's fabric that i got this is just one piece alice has oh so many different patterns but she draws this this is her own custom drawing and i took the fabric and i believe this is cotton topline and i created one of my in the hoop bags this is the extra large in the hoop bag i used it on the back side look how pretty that is um you know she has all kinds of fabrics and you know colorful some are more muted like this one but look how nice that is and i used it to make my bag i actually quilted the inside of this one and i use cork up here at the top but i think that her fabric is very unique and um i don't know i kind of love it you know and the prints that you're going to see some of them here in a minute when i show the video not just in fabric you can get these in um paper you can get scarves that she sells with the patterns on them she has a whole um array a variety

to create things unique handmade gifts using embroidery and vinyl and engraving so they they have over 20 years experience in the embroidery business and when the vinyl craze hit they learned how to incorporate vinyl into their products and a few years back they got a laser machine and they expanded their business into engravable items after need to find ways to organize thread they came out with the laser bee thread storage system and that's what i have over there you guys have probably seen me talk about it and seen me show it um i have inside there i have all my exquisite threads 288 colors labeled by number laser bee studio offers different um thread drawer inserts and i'm going to show you those in just a second for exquisite they have glide they have floriani um i know they're on here they can put their um other brands that they sell the storage system for they've expanded and they make project trays you've seen me show those i'm going to show them again in a minute project tags and they started doing these adorable little christmas ornaments that they engraved with sewing themes on them so first let's talk about what they're going to give away and let me bring up the pictures because they have some pictures of what they are going to give away and let me just bring it up here so they're going to be giving away what they call the laser bee studio gift box now inside of it is a set of their project trays a set of their project tags a set of scissor fob um little markers that they have and one of their adorable ornaments it's a 75 value they're giving away five of these i just said they're giving away five of those and they're also giving away two 100 gift certificates to their website perfect time to get the um thread storage system let's watch their video that they um that they sent me it's a real cute little video we'll watch that and then i have the some actual products of theirs i'm going to show you so this is kelly and sharon hi i'm sharon and i'm kelly and we're laser beam studios we're from lafayette louisiana and uh what we do is specialize in thread organization systems we're here to get you all organized so you have more time to sew we want you to visit us at www.laserbeestudio.com we're very excited to be here again this year with rain and her favorite things it's one of our favorite times of the year uh we're so glad to support her and offer some great giveaways uh we have two giveaways that we're doing uh one is our gift box there's gonna be five winners for that and then our uh other two winners are going to be uh getting 100 gift certificates so five winners of the gift box and two winners of the 100 gift certificates so good luck for that uh come visit us on our website you'll find us on etsy uh instagram tick tock we're trying to do tick tock and just search for laser beat studio so we want to wish you happy holidays and good luck what a wonderful wonderful prize that is and laser beam studio has supported embroidery garden and they've supported bernie garden's favorite things since the beginning so let me just give you a quick look at the thread storage system that they're talking about let me get it open first so let me see if yeah you can see this so the thread insert is this the wooden thing at the bottom now there are holes you can probably see where i'm missing a couple of spools of thread i don't want to tip this too much or i will tip you know my thread out but um this is how i store my exquisite thread there are letters the thread color numbers are actually engraved onto all these little slots so i could keep my thread all organized i can quickly look and see you know what i'm low on i can see there's two colors right there that i'm missing that i need to order and it closes into this little drawer now once they're in there they're in there okay they're not going to tip over they're not going to fall out um they're dust free they're out of the light then this drawer goes inside of the cabinet over there i have two stacked on top of each other laser beam studio tells you where to get the um the cabinets at and there's inserts fit exactly in there perfectly and again they have them for many different brands of thread i use exquisite so mine are for exquisite thread they also in that little gift box they're giving away they have their project tags let me see if i can't get this up here so what these are are you know how if you use some bird regard designs you know that a lot of times i label the pieces for my projects a through i don't know they can go up to n o and p even sometimes so what you do is you take these cute little spools they have clips connected to them and then these uh the white is dry erase board material so there's a marker included what i do is i on one of them i write a b c you know go through you know however many of these little clips i'm going to need if you are someone who likes to cut out you know several projects of the same thing at once take all your piece a's clip it on and you have them all together nothing gets lost or you know mixed up or anything so these are inside of that gif set that they have they also have they're popular these things are are great uh project trays let me just kind of hold it up here and show you this so what this is these are numbered they're small trays they are numbered and this one is numbered one through twelve how many of you do those big embroidery designs where they may have 40 color changes in them of shades of you know i don't know five different shades of green or something so what you do is you get your design loaded up you get all your colors picked out you put them inside the little slots and you know as many colors as you have you line it up by your machine and then you know you put your first thread on then you know you can put it away if you're not going to use it again your second one and just work all through your design and you know i think they're perfect because if you're like me you multitask and you know i'll have them sitting by my machine stitching out a design i got to go run answer the phone or i have to you know go through a laundry in or something and you get kind of lost well you know where you're at because you have um these numbered little trays so these are great that's inside one of those um gift sets that they're giving away and let's see what else was in there their scissor fob these are like little um markers you know to say fabric paper whatever so nobody's using your good scissors on you know paper and they're giving away one of those little cute little ornaments inside of that gift set so again five winners for the laser bee studio gift box and two 100 dollar gift certificate winners to their website laserbeaststudio.com so fantastic thank you kelly and sharon so much i appreciate your support um that you show me constantly constantly from laser beam i got a message from laser bee they said those uh project trays are backed with dry erase boards now and they must need to send you new ones all right so wait a one second i don't yeah okay so laser bead just messaged me and what they have out now they've kind of upgraded and so in all these little circles where they are labeled you know i don't know if you can see that one two three all the way to 12 and then the next one starts at 13 and goes to 24 and then there's also ones that start at 25 and go to the next number etc now what they're doing is in each of these circles there's dry erase material so now you take your marker and write it down so let's say sometimes too you've got your first color your second your third whatever but say color number one gets repeated in the color number five so what you do is after as you're putting your colors down you've already got color number one here so you don't want to buy an additional spool to put in color number five so you'd write the number one here so when you are done with your color one using it on your machine well you know one goes here in number five so you can just keep on going so that um these things are wonderful great great idea okay katie says a wonderful sponsor yes and that is a very very generous gift so thank you again kelly and sharon uh yeah they are worth every penny someone just um posted they are time savers and um threat savers to me i mean look at how organized my thread is i used to have a uh totes and my thread was just thrown inside you'd have to dig through it and they're all coming apart and everything so now since i got that system everything is there i open it up um look for the thread that i need and i know when i have to order more thread because the slot is empty so thank you again for that and let me as i'm cleaning up my files down here at the bottom uh let's see clever idea it is very very clever so are you guys loving this i see someone uh is doing sleigh bells they're not ringing right now but that's okay someone said ring the bell ring the bell well you gotta watch because i don't want people to know when they're being wrong in my notes see in my notes i have when the sleigh bells are going to be wrong everything's planned out all right the next giveaway is from a good friend of mine named lisa ribando harris so lisa is someone again that i met several years ago online and then i actually got to

the link to her um website um she does fantastic work i even saw where i believe they have a it's not a food truck but it's what do they call it apparel on demand i think that might be the name of it where they have this big truck and they go around and you can go to it and say hey i want a t-shirt with you know my name on it or something and they can do it right there for you uh an embroider right on the spot um i think that is a cool cool idea so what does barb want to give away so barb had this idea of giving someone kind of their own special day so what she's giving away to one person is a 15 gift card to starbucks to start your day a 25 gift card to joanne fabrics so you can go out and shop and then a 25 gift card it's a darden card to um for dinner so that gift card would be good for several different um restaurants that you could go to so it's your own kind of little day take a day for yourself go out shop a little bit you don't have to make dinner because you can order that out or go out and get it but it's just a i thought it was a cute little idea to you know do something for yourself we're all busy we all do things for other people so just take a day and do something for yourself and so she gave she's giving one person these gift cards so they can go out and enjoy themselves so don't you think that's a great treat yeah i see a lot of people saying um that that is
