What would you like to hear more about from Holly Quilt Shop?

We want the things we share to help you plan a visit, find a class you’ll enjoy, or get an idea for your next project. Before we make any plans, we’d like your input.

We’re considering a monthly shop update. Would you prefer an email newsletter you can read when you have a minute, a video you can watch, or updates right here on Facebook?

What would make those updates worth opening? New arrivals, upcoming classes and events, tips for using fabrics and notions, or a look at what we’re sewing around the shop? Something else?

And if you like things exactly as they are, please tell us that, too! That’s just as helpful to know.

We can’t promise we’ll do it all, but your answers will help us decide where to put our time and what would be most useful to our little quilting family.

Tell us in the comments: keep things as they are, or try something new? If you’d like something new, what would you enjoy and how would you like to receive it?

It’s Sew & Tell Thursday! There’s fall in the air and Halloween is almost here. What’s been keeping your sewing machine busy?

Something pumpkin-covered, a handmade costume, or a project you’re hoping to finish before it starts haunting you?

Share a picture in the comments. Finished or still in pieces, we’d love to see it!

When was the last time you sharpened your sewing scissors? It’s a small task that’s easy to postpone, especially when they still cut well. However, if they’re snagging on fabric or leaving threads behind, sharpening them can make a significant difference. Cleaner cuts and less effort are always appreciated when you’re sewing!

Fred from Oakland Sharpening will be here at Holly Quilt Shop on November 11 from 10 AM to 2 PM. Bring your scissors in and come visit with us!

Let’s come back to that little sewing machine needle. Changing it regularly matters, but so does choosing what goes in next!

You might be surprised how much engineering is packed into something that small.

Ever wondered why the package says 80/12? That’s one size written in two different sizing systems. The 80 tells us the needle’s blade is just 0.80 millimeters thick. Bigger numbers mean a thicker needle.

And those tiny colored bands on SCHMETZ needles? They’re useful! On needles with two bands, the top identifies the needle type and the bottom identifies its size. Universal needles have just the size band.

Here’s another surprise: sharper isn’t always better. A jersey needle has a rounded tip that moves the loops of knit fabric aside, helping protect your favorite T-shirt material. A Microtex needle has a very slim, sharp point for precise stitching in fine or densely woven fabrics.

Even the hole the thread goes through changes! A topstitch needle has an elongated eye to accommodate heavier threads.

So next time you switch projects, check your needle along with your fabric and thread. A fresh needle is a good start, and the right type and size help it do its job.

Little tip: snap a picture of the needle package when you put one in. When you sit down to sew again, you won’t have to wonder what’s in the machine!

Sometimes a quilt needs a little texture, and Ripple & Thread is such a lovely way to add it.

This collection by Ghazal Razavi for FIGO uses yarn-dyed wovens, which means the design comes from the colored threads woven together. Those little details give the fabric interest without needing a big, busy print.

I love having fabrics like these to work with. They can give your eye a place to rest alongside a bold floral, or come together in a quilt where the patchwork itself gets to shine. Even simple squares would be beautiful.

One thing to keep in mind when choosing your fabrics: include some lighter and darker shades so your blocks stand out. Fabrics can look lovely together on the cutting table but blend together once they’re sewn, and a little contrast makes all the difference.

We had so much fun at Stitch or Treat on Saturday! Here are a few of the bags that were made. We love seeing how everyone’s fabric choices make the same project their own.

Getting to sit with someone, help them through a tricky step, and see how happy they are with what they made is such a fulfilling part of having this shop. I will never take for granted that I get to be a small part of that.

Thank you to everyone who spent part of your Saturday sewing with us. The things we make bring us together, but it’s the people who make this little community so special.

Since we just got new JUKI machines in at the shop, we thought it would be fun to learn a little about how they got their start.

JUKI’s roots go back to 1938 in Tokyo, Japan. They completed their first home sewing machine, the HA-1, in 1947. Their first industrial sewing machine came along in 1953.

That surprised us a little! If you’ve always associated JUKI with industrial machines, their home sewing machines actually came first.

They’ve been working on ways to make sewing easier for decades. In 1969, JUKI released an industrial machine with automatic thread trimming, and in 1985, they introduced a home machine with automatic thread tension. If you’ve ever spent your sewing time fussing with tension, you can appreciate that one!

It’s fun to learn a little about the history behind the machines we use and how much has changed over the years.

If you’re curious about the new JUKIs here at the shop, you can take a look at them on our website. Or stop in and tell us what you like to sew. We’re always happy to talk sewing!

This is one of those bags you could make as a gift and then decide you need one, too. Ask us how we know! The finished bag in the photo is one I made.

The Everyday Quilted Tote by Knot + Thread has quilted panels, a roomy interior, and an outside zipper pocket. The pattern includes two sizes, so you can make a smaller bag or a larger everyday tote.

It’s a lovely bag for carrying a book, a hand-sewing project, or the things you take along each day. Pick a fabric you love for your own, or choose something that makes you think of the person you’re sewing for. That’s part of what makes a handmade gift so special.

Earlier this week, we replied to a customer who shared how the gifts she’s made hold special memories for her, too. It got us thinking about how much we get back from the things we make and give. Maybe it’s time spent sewing with someone, choosing fabric just for them, or seeing their face light up when they realize how much of them is reflected in the gift.

Do you have a project that holds a special memory? If you’d like, share a photo and the story behind it in the comments. We’d love to hear it!
