We added some extra flair by bending in braided accents in a second color. We summarize the steps below and include a link to our full step-by-step tutorial. Making your own tassels is easier than you might think. The finishing touch is the four, two-tone corner tassels. You don’t want a “poofy” or chubby pillow form – it would distort the pretty embellishment. This not only lets you get that cool “karate chop” shape so popular with interior designers, it is also softer and flatter. If possible, use a down or down alternative for your pillow insert. And although some color variation in the weave of the fabric can make for an interesting background, steer away from heavy textures a smooth surface is best for this type of embellishment. We recommend a décor or upholstery weight fabric for the proper stability, in a darker solid color so the lighter color thread designs really pop. Of course it’s fun – but it’s also important! In order to get the very best look, experimenting with different stitch combinations and varying width and length is critical to achieving a professional finish. It’s what makes decorative stitches and embroidery so much fun: practicing and testing to find the options you love most. Visit your favorite App Store for more details on these, click through to Janome for more details, or best yet - visit a local Janome dealer for a complete demonstration.Īll our stitch and motif selections are outlined below, but one of the beauties of this project is getting to pick your own favorites. There is also a complete set of iPad apps that allow you to customize your embroidery: AcuDesign, AcuEdit, AcuMonitor, AcuSetter, and AcuSketch. It even includes Wi-Fi capability that makes it easy to send embroidery designs from an iPad or computer straight to the machine. This entire Janome Skyline series is one of our favorites, but this is the only Skyline with the combination of sewing and embroidery.
We used the Janome Skyline S9, a sewing and embroidery powerhouse that allowed us to use just one machine for both the decorative stitch panel and the embroidery accents as well as all the construction. Thanks to the power, precision, and flexibility of our Janome studio machines, we knew we could pull together all these trends into one fabulous pillow. It was a style that had a bit of a boho feel but with a more elegant spin. It was during a recent search that we spotted a number of pillows with dense panels of decorative stitching, as well as many featuring embroidery accents and tassels. We’re always on the lookout for designer trends in retail shops, online, magazines, and more.
