I own an electronic Brother sewing machine with lots of fun goodies and stitches on it but don’t worry…a regular sewing machine will work just as well! I have mine from days when I was obsessed with sewing and smocking. The first thing to address is your sewing machine. The comment button is WAY down at the bottom of this tutorial!:) If you’d like to comment on this tutorial…I’d LOVE to hear from you. To see any of the designs close-up, just click on the picture. If you would like more info on any of these designs, simply click on the design title and it will take you to the original entry on my blog. I’ve included cards throughout this tutorial from past uploads to my blog. Check out her great first attempt at Heartfelt Greetings!

Every Tuesday Amy tries out something new on her blog and she always has a hit! Sunday’s Amy also does a FABULOUS sketch challenge. This tutorial was requested by Amy Westerman who attempted machine stitching for the first time yesterday. I do hope it will inspire you to add a little more machine stitching to your papercrafting! For some of you, this may be pretty basic, for some of you…a new technique to try. It is just something I do and don’t think about.

When I was asked to do a little sewing machine stitching on cards tutorial, I must admit it that it had never occurred to me before. At least 50% of my designs have some stitching on them…it is something I love to do and seems to go well with my style of creations. Many of you who know my designs, know how much I love sewing on paper.
