The October, 2009, class schedule is now available on
our website. Memory Craft Club members may be disappointed that we are not having a club this month. Unfortunately that weekend is also Quilt Market, and we will be going to Houston to shop for the latest and greatest. Jan and Sharon will be in the store on Saturday the 10th, which would have been club day. If you mention the secret word "Market" to them, they'll give you your club discount even though there is no club!
There are some new accessories coming from Janome. Memory Craft 11000 quilters will be interested in the Professional Quilting Kit, which features a brand new Acufil hoop (ASQ) with a 7" x 7" sewing field. As with the AQ hoop, this one uses magnets to hold the fabric in place. There is also a machine upgrade in the package that provides some requested features. You must either have the Memory Craft 11000 SE, or have upgraded your machine to version 2.0 to use this package. Cost is $299. If this sounds like something Santa should have in the sleigh for you, please let us know. They aren't shipping yet, and it's not clear how many we'll be able to get.
Another new item, which should be in the store by this weekend, is a new 3-in-1 1/4" foot set. It's a clear foot, with all the 1/4" markings you could want. The 1/4" guide on the right is removable, and it comes with another guide that turns it into a "Stitch in the Ditch" foot. If you want one of these feet, be sure to let us know so we can reserve one for you!
