This project combines many areas of textile arts; sewing, quilting, and machine embroidery. This in the hoop project pattern was purchased from SweetPea Embroidery and customized by our Makerspace Director to show her favorite books, hobbies, and of course our honorary mascot, Ginger. Interested in learning how it was done? Maggie would gladly talk to you about all the skills and planning that went into this project.

MACCLab user Lois, made this adorable play food. The felt appliques for this in the hoop embroidery project were cut using the laser cutter/engraver ensuring accuracy and consistency in the small perfect details. 

Interested in learning to use the laser cutter/engraver or the embroidery machine, visit https://macclab.com/event/ for the full class schedule. 

If interested in making your own play food, these are the files that were purchased for use:

Well done Lois.

This cute quilt was made entirely in MACCLab. The trucks were appliquéd and embroidered using the Melco Bravo embroidery machine. A template to perfectly cut and align the squares was made using the ULS laser cutter. The squares were assembled and trim added using the Singer Heavy Duty sewing machines. Then the quilt top, batting, and backing was loaded onto the Handi Quilter Simply Sixteen to add this fun cloud and swirl free motion design. We’re so pleased with how it turned out.

Interested in learning any or all of these machines to help with your own custom projects? Visit https://macclab.com/event/ for the full October schedule. November and December will be added later this week.

The best thing about working in a makerspace is collaboration! These quilt blocks were sewn using the Singer sewing machines, the appliqués were done using the Melco Bravo embroidery machine, and the block template was scored and cut on the Universal Laser cutter/engraver. We’re so excited to see these 12 blocks of seasonal vintage trucks come together in a unique quilt that will be finished using the HandiQuilter longarm quilting machine. 

Are you interested in learning any or all of these machines to take your projects to the next level?

Visit  https://macclab.com/event/ for the full class schedule.
