Good day! There is much to report from the Sassaman Studio this week. Lots of intermittent sunshine and showers have made for extreme greens and optimism all around! I have tried to harness this spring energy to launch several new products and projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The web store has some more exciting new entries! I have been selling my Sew Sassy thread in class for a while, but now it is also available on my website! Hooray!! I have bundled them into two economical sets of 33 spools each, Prime Colors (brights) and Sublime Colors (rich and deep).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Superior\u2019s Sew Sassy<\/a> is a creative quilter’s dream thread. It is a two fisted 12 weight topstitching thread for dramatic sewing results. Sew Sassy is a great thread choice for projects where you want the stitching to be very visible. Use Sew Sassy for big stitch quilting to give your larger hand quilting stitches a bold look. Sew Sassy is a popular thread for Redwork or hand embroidery. The thick stitches provide the heirloom look of old-fashioned hand embroidery designs. In the machine Sew Sassy can be used in the top with a Topstitch 100\/16 needle for quilting or decorative stitching (use either a 40 wt. or 50 wt. thread in the bobbin). And don’t forget Sew Sassy for your needle punch projects too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12 wt.\/3-ply Spun Polyester thread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Superior\u2019s Recommended Needle and Tension Settings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home Machines: Topstitch #100\/16. Set tension to 2.0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Longarm Machines: #21 (MR 5.0). Reduce tension as necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend a 4-5 stitch length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have also added some new limited edition Art Prints<\/a> derived from my favorite FreeSpirit fabric designs. I think of my fabrics as \u201cart by the yard\u201d. Unfortunately, the fabric always disappears too quickly!! So prints are a wonderful way to enjoy the designs everyday. The new large archival prints are on lovely 13\u201d X 19\u201d rag paper, numbered and signed by hand. The printed image is 10\u201d X 16\u201d. Perfect for framing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to all of you who keep in touch via Instagram<\/a> and Facebook, too! My next post will cover the step by step process of several new quilts. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
