Tip Tuesday 

Your Featherweight works hard for you—these small replacements can make a big difference in how it runs.

From cushions to belts to bulbs, a little maintenance goes a long way in keeping your 221 smooth, stable, and enjoyable to sew on.

If you’ve been noticing inconsistencies, extra noise, or just aren’t sure where to start, this is a great place to begin.

And if you’d rather learn hands-on, join us for our Featherweight Spa Day on April 19th with Carolyn—a guided workshop where you’ll learn how to service your machine with confidence.

A couple of finishes from our very own team this week — and they’re good ones!

Kim W wrapped up her Tilda Santa Wall Hanging — a labour of love with lots of tiny pieces, but one of those projects that absolutely pays off in the end.

Alison dropped off her Block of Maroc quilt for longarming, and wow… what a finish. The donkeys pulled her in (understandably), but this one turned into a big, rewarding challenge that she fully leaned into (after maybe a few choice words).

Proof that sometimes the fiddly bits and the “what did I get myself into” moments are exactly what make a project worth it.
