“What exactly is a serger, and do I need one?”

That is a completely fair question.

A serger is not a replacement for your regular sewing machine. Think of it as a machine that works alongside it and does certain jobs extremely well.

Take a look inside a professionally made T-shirt or sweatshirt. See that neat thread-wrapped edge along the seam?

That’s the kind of finish a serger creates.

The Necchi C12 can trim the raw edge of your fabric while stitching and wrapping thread around that edge at the same time. It’s especially useful for garment sewing, stretch fabrics, finished seams, and rolled hems.

And because threading a serger can look a little intimidating the first time you see one, the C12 includes color-coded threading guides and threading assistance to make the process easier to understand.

If you’ve been wondering whether a serger could be the next addition to your sewing room, come see the C12 in person.

Have you ever looked at a personalized bag, embroidered quilt label, monogrammed gift, or stitched design and thought, “I want to be able to do THAT”?

Meet the Necchi NE210.

This one is different because it gives you two machines in one.

You can use the NE210 as your regular sewing machine for quilts, bags, clothing, crafts, and everyday projects. Then switch to embroidery when you want to add names, monograms, designs, labels, and other personalized details.

It includes hundreds of sewing stitches, more than 100 embroidery designs, a color touchscreen, two embroidery hoop sizes, and Wi-Fi design transfer.

If you’ve been curious about machine embroidery but still need a machine for regular sewing, this is the Necchi we’d want you to come explore.

Let me show you one of those little quilting abbreviations we use so often that sometimes we forget nobody is born knowing what it means.
WOF.

If your pattern says, “Cut 6 strips 2 1/2" x WOF,” it means width of fabric.
In quilting, that means you’re cutting the strip across the fabric from one selvage side to the other.

Now here’s where people sometimes get tripped up. You might see quilting cotton described as being around 44" wide and expect every strip you cut to give you that much usable fabric. But those selvage edges are part of the total width, and your actual usable width can be smaller.

That matters when you’re figuring binding, borders or anything else where you need a certain length out of each strip. So when a pattern says WOF, don’t read that as “I am guaranteed exactly 44 inches.” Think selvage to selvage, then remember that you may need to trim those selvages before using your strip.

It’s a tiny distinction until you’re six inches short on your last binding strip. Then it suddenly becomes very interesting.

Did you know what WOF meant when you made your first quilt, or did you have to look that one up too?

What’s the difference between buying a machine for what you sew today and buying one you can grow into?

Meet the Necchi C360.

This is where we move into a computerized sewing machine with a lot more creative room.

The C360 has 360 built-in stitches, but don’t let that number intimidate you. You certainly don’t need to use all 360.

What matters is what comes with having more control at your fingertips: computerized stitch selection, speed control, automatic thread cutting, quilting features, an extension table, and a walking foot.

That means you can start with everyday sewing and quilt piecing, then explore decorative stitching, garments, quilting techniques, lettering, and more as your skills grow.

If you’re looking for a machine with more conveniences and more possibilities without jumping into embroidery, the C360 is one to check out.

We have two new workshops coming to Holly Quilt Shop!

Hemingway Pouch Workshop

Create the large 9" x 12" Hemingway Pouch with its fun diagonal zipper. It’s a great size for holding a tablet, book, sewing supplies, or other everyday essentials. Kits will be available for purchase at the shop.

Your fabric must be quilted with Soft and Stable, foam stabilizer, or batting before the workshop so we’re ready to cut and sew when we begin.

Patchwork Quilted Bow Workshop

Create a big, beautiful quilted bow that’s perfect for holiday décor, wreaths, gifts, and more. This workshop is suitable for confident beginners and experienced sewists.

You must arrive with 200 fabric squares measuring 2½" x 2½", cut and ready to sew before the workshop.

Need a sewing machine? Machine rentals are available for $10 per workshop. Rentals are limited and must be added separately when registering for your workshop.

You can find the complete supply lists, preparation instructions, and registration information here:

Here’s one of those little quilting things that can make you question yourself when the problem really might be your tool.

You’re cutting along and everything looks fine, except there are one or two little threads still holding the fabric together. So you roll over it again. And again.

Before you start blaming yourself, take a look at your rotary blade. Skipping threads or having to press harder than usual can be a sign that your blade is ready to be changed.

A sharp rotary blade should do the work for you. You shouldn’t have to bear down on the cutter trying to convince it to go through quilting cotton. And sometimes a blade can develop a bad spot before the whole thing feels dull. Hit a pin or something else you didn’t see on the cutting mat and suddenly you may notice that little spot skipping as the blade rolls around.

It’s such a simple thing, but a fresh blade can make cutting feel completely different.
So if you’re cutting this weekend and keep finding those tiny threads hanging on for dear life, don’t automatically assume your cutting technique has gone downhill.

Check that blade.

What’s your sign that finally makes you say, “All right, it’s time for a new one”?

Sometimes you don’t need more buttons.

You need more muscle.

Meet the Necchi C35.

This is a mechanical sewing machine for someone who likes straightforward controls but regularly asks their machine to handle a little more.

Think bags. Denim. Canvas. Home décor. Multiple layers. Projects with batting and interfacing.

The C35 has a heavy-duty motor designed to give you extra power when you’re working with thicker materials, without requiring you to move into a computerized machine.

You still get 35 built-in stitches, an automatic needle threader, adjustable presser foot pressure, and a one-step buttonhole.

If your sewing projects tend to get a little beefier than two layers of quilting cotton, the C35 might be the one you want to come see.
