We now have a Bias Tape Binding Set for Cover Stitch Machines! You can use this two-piece set to fasten bias tape binding to the edge of your fabric. The set contains a wide guide for wide bias tape (using the 6mm cover stitch) and a small guide for narrow bias tape (using the 3mm cover stitch), or for use with the chain stitch. Whichever you choose, you’ll love the results! Life just got a little easier with the Dual Function Fold Binder. Now you can fold 1.25" (32mm) wide bias fabric tape into 0.31" (8mm) wide double-fold bias tape before applying the bias tape binding to the edge of the fabric. This binder attaches easily to the cover stitch machine with two screws (included). This accessory can also be used as a binder for single-fold bias tape. Now you can achieve the perfect finish with the Narrow Zipper Foot. Its sleek design allows it to sit along the edge of your zipper, trim, craft and sewing projects. You’ll gain more visibility and precision with the narrow toe while you adjust the needle to the left or right of the foot for easier sewing. Bring some of your favorite Frozen characters like Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Sven and Kristoff to life with the new Frozen Embroidery Thread Kit. The kit includes 24 vibrant spools with 1,100 yards of 100% polyester, color fast mini-king threads. Plus, you can save $15 at iBroidery.com with an enclosed coupon.

Its click-and-snap design allows you to hoop your project quickly and easily. It is strong enough to hold your items in place, yet constructed with a smooth rubber grip on one side and a textured fabric grip on the other to minimize damage to fabric and fibers. The new 2" x 2" Magnet Hoop and Arm Set will allow you to embroider those small, hard-to-reach places like cuffs and collars, and even tackle delicate materials and leather like a pro. The hoop holds your material tightly so you can embroider without movement – and with virtually no hoop burn! You’ll love how easily the hoops snap in and out. You can get more done – with less hoop hassle. All in all, it was an amazing product launch. The encouraging feedback and positive reviews have energized us and we are looking forward to another great year. If you were there, we hope you enjoyed the show.
