			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Tablecloths add cover to your table, which can protect it from scratches, dents, etc. To craft a tablecloth you will need materials, finishing sizes, gauge structure, and directions. In view of the facts, we can present to you a few steps so that you can protect your table from damage.<br /> You will need a gauge start at 5 inches diameter or 2 ¾ inches in diameter for the smaller motif clothes. You will need your finishing, which should be around 35 inches times 35. Purchase crocheting thread around 10, and 250 yards of spherical cream. Purchase the number seven crochet hook made of steel.</p>
<p> Once you purchase your materials, you can choose to make the small or large motif. Use your 5 inches in diameter to create 49 larger motifs. To start add eight chain stitches to meet with a slipstitch. Once you form your sphere move to round one and continue through to round eight, until you come to the smaller motif.</p>
<p> To begin stitch five chains to meet with your double crochet and the two chains you created. In your ring, double crochet and chain stitch two rows working up to eleven stitches/doubles and slipstitch into the third chain at the start of your first chain and leave three spaces as you work to round two. Now, add a slipstitch to start another space, chain one stitch, and three single crochets. Once you finish crocheting around the space, add a slipstitch to the first single and the 36 single crochets.</p>
<p> Moving on chain one stitch and work into the back loops and add single crochets in the other stitches. Finish with a slipstitch working it into the starting single crochet. Continue to round four. Chain four stitches into the first double and chain another stitch working it so that it blends with the back loops. The following stitch, add a double and one chain. Repeat your steps working around the slipstitches and to the third chain stitch created at the beginning of your chain. Move ahead to round five. Slipstitch so that it blends into the following space you will create and add a chain stitch working another two single crochets into the surrounding space. Slipstitch so that you meet your first single crochets and moves to the next round.</p>
<p> Now, chain four stitches so that it meets with your first triple crochet. Work the stitches into the back loops and triple crochet stitches so that it combines with the following stitches. You will need to create four and then chain five stitches, skip one, and triple the following five stitches. Repeat and work around your slipstitch at the crown of your starting chain. At this time, you should have grouped twelve of the five triples as you work to the crown.</p>
<p> Continue add a chain stitch it toward your back loops. Single crochet up to the five triple crochets you will create. In the five chain spaces thereafter you will need to have created four singles, chains, and four singles again before repeating your steps, working about the slipstitch the created at the beginning single. Continue to create your first motif, which is the larger part and then slipstitch so that you meet with the following two stitches. Chain stitch into the single crochet that starts the following two stitches and then chain five stitches working in your double, four chains, and another double crochet within the four chains at the loop. Chain two stitches and slipstitch to meet your loop that starts your motif, Chain two stitches within the identical four chain loops on the succeeding motif. Chain five stitches and skip up to five stitches on the beginning motif. Repeat your steps as you did when creating the initial motif. Continue up the ladder by creating your tablecloth. Now you are ready to make your smaller motif and complete your tablecloth.</p>
<p> To begin create 36 motifs and join them into the facing of the larger motif at the between lines. Chain eight stitches, add a slipstitch, and begin moving your starting ring to repeat rounds when creating your larger motif, i.e. rounds one through three. Next, chain stitch and work into the back loops. Create four single crochets, while single crocheting into the four, and add six chain stitches to join a single and the larger motif. Add another six chains and skip one, make a single and work it into the following single. Chain 4 and another single working until it blends into four chain loops not joined with the larger motif.</p>
<p> Chain four stitches and skip one single. Repeat your steps, working about the slipstitch that you created in your initial single. Now, complete your tablecloth by fastening it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The Brother SE400 Computerized Embroidery Sewing Machine takes the SE350 up a notch by adding a USB port so you can download embroidery patterns and stitches and update your machine through your laptop or computer.</p>
<p>All day long every day without thinking about it you are looking at things that have been sewn. Clothing is one of the most basic needs of human beings and clothing needs to be sewn. There are countless other things that you use or see each day that were sewn. </p>
<p>People have been sewing, joining things together using thread guided by needles, for around 20,000 years. All kinds of materials have been sewn together in the past.
<p> Plain mending involves simple tasks like sewing on buttons and taking up a hem. Many people are able to that.  Some tailors and seamstresses specialize in certain techniques like smocking, embroidery, quilting or shirring. They make money while providing a valuable service to others.</p>
<p><b>Brother SE400 Stitch Patterns</b><br /> Because this is a combination sewing and embroidery machine, there are loads of stitches to accomplish either type of sewing.  (Side Cutter stitches cut the fabric off at the seam during sewing similar to what a serger does for seam edges.)</p>
<p>Those stitches can be modified by adjusting the width or height or applying a mirror, twin or multi-directional stitch function.</p>
<p>For embroidery, there are 70 built-in embroidery designs including flowers, roses, baskets of flowers, animals, plants and birds. You choose the pattern and the machine will guide you through step-by-step including thread color selection. The LCD screen shows how much time it will take to complete each step.</p>
<p>Letters and characters used for embroidery and monogramming are excellent additions to today&#8217;s sewing machines and the Brother SE400 includes 5 different fonts.</p>
<p>A wide variety of sewing machines are available today. There are mechanical models, electronic models and even computerized models. Even with all these machines available, many people still prefer hand-sewn products.</p>
<p>There are 10 styles of frame stitches you can use as a border around your work including a square, circle, and diamond and 12 different stitch styles to use in sewing those frames for a total of 120 frame options.</p>
<p><b>Brother SE400 Presser Feet</b><br /> The Brother SE400 comes with 8 snap-on presser feet: Buttonhole, Overcasting, Monogramming, Zipper, Zigzag, Blind Stitch, Button Fitting, and the Embroidery foot.</p>
<p>Most product listings describe the machine as having only 7 presser feet but are not counting the embroidery foot in the equation.</p>

I know basic stitches but have never worked with such fine thread before. I&#8217;d like to find something simple and pretty to put on this linen that isn&#8217;t going to make me crazy.  Anyone know any sites for this type of delicate crochet?  Thank you!!!<br/><br/><a href=''>Erik</a></p>
