We've got an exciting blog entry for you today! Iman (pronounced Ee-Mon), our new in-store model, takes time out of her busy schedule of repose to chat with us:



BNW: Iman, what brings you to the store?

Iman: ...

BNW: Modeling My Label garments?! Fantastic! What can you tell our readers about My Label Software?

Iman: ...

BNW:  Right, so it's 3D fashion pattern software.  What are some of your favorite features in My Label?

Iman: ...

BNW:  Really?!  Sewing instructions and an in-program measuring/fitting consultant?  It's so nice to have expert advice at your fingertips.  What else?

Iman: ...

BNW:  So let's get this straight, you can actually see garments modeled in 3D before you make them?  Who knew that there were twenty endlessly customizable classic patterns to choose from?

Iman: ...

BNW:  Well of course you did.

Iman: ...

BNW: Right, Right.  So Iman, you've told us all about My Label.  Let's talk about the clothes!  Which of the My Label patterns is your favorite?

Iman: ...

BNW:  The gored skirt always makes a big splash. Do you have any exciting My Label fashion forecasts?

Iman: ...

BNW:  Pencil Skirts paired with Classic Vests, of course!

Iman: ...

BNW:  (Chuckles)  Iman you are the living end!  Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us.  We look forward to seeing your divine My Label fashions!

Iman: ...

Readers:  If you're interested in purchasing a copy of My Label Software, feel free to call or come by Bernina Northwest.  206-523-4739.

Check out this fun sample Caitlyn made:


Simple pintucks and pleats peeking through contrasting fabric... Sounds like a potentially stellar quilt or even garment finish! Who doesn't love versatility?

Which presser feet made such a spectacular gem of a sample?

The #57 1/4" Foot was used to make those fabulous pleats

The #31 Pintucking Foot was used to make (can you guess?)... The Pintucks!

The #10 Edge Stitch Foot was used to clean finish the rolled-in raw edges of the yellow fabric.

As always, we encourage you to try out your own version of this technique! Send on photos of all your amazing work!
