Brother Sewing, Embroidery and Quilting Machines: Taking Your Creativity to the Next Level

If you’re a quilting enthusiast, a Brother sewing, embroidery and quilting machine is the perfect tool for making beautiful blankets and other large projects. But for the DIY enthusiast, the new Brother Aveneer sewing, embroidery, and quilting machine can take your imagination to new levels. With its large workspace and projection area, stitch regulator, a library of built-in designs, unique embroidery functions using AI, and the ability to rotate and move directly on the fabric, the Aveneer offers an array of options to elevate your creativity. You will have endless possibilities to make your own unique designs, from things to wear (and we’re not just talking about clothing) to home décor.
Here are some ideas to inspire you to think outside the box and create something unique for yourself, your home, or as a gift for someone else.

Something to Wear

  • Scrunchies: No longer a thing of the past, hair scrunchies have made a comeback and they are the perfect thing to make with those scraps of fabric you have lying around and don’t know what to do with.

  • Eye Mask: If you love to sleep in total darkness, an eye mask is an ideal bedtime must-have. This simple pattern is quick to make, which means you’ll be off to dreamland in no time.
  • Aprons: This sewing project is great for a beginner. Plus, aprons make the perfect gift for the chef, baker, or artist in your life. You can even add a personal touch by embroidering your gift receiver’s name on it.

Something Useful

  • Tote Bags: We love a good tote bag because it has many uses -- from carrying your groceries to using it for a day at the beach or as your overnight bag for a weekend away. (Psst… sewing enthusiasts could use a tote bag for projects they can take on-the-go). There are so many ways a tote bag can come in handy and a variety of ways to personalize your tote with embroidery patterns.

  • Zippered Pouch: This is another great project for beginners, and the best thing about it is that there are so many ways you can use it! From a makeup bag to a pencil case, or even to store some of your sewing supplies.
  • Tablet Sleeve: We all love our portable devices, so keeping them protected is important. Accidents happen, so why not avoid the cost of fixing a cracked screen or replacing your device altogether? You can do so by making your own protective sleeve or case.

Something for the Home

  • Pillow Cover: We all have throw pillows in our homes, whether they’re on our couches or beds. Instead of buying new ones when you change the colour scheme of your room or have simply outgrown the pattern of the pillows you have, why not sew your own pillow covers? Don’t know what to do with your scraps of material from quilting? Making these quilted throw pillows can help you solve that problem and add some unique style to your space.

  • Placemats: A wonderful way to change up the look of your dining table is by using placemats. With a large assortment of materials to choose from, you can make placemats for any season or occasion.
  • Storage Bins: To keep your home tidy and organized, storage bins can be a lifesaver. No more misplacing items around the house. Ditch those boring store-bought plastic bins and make your own with a stylish fabric of your choice. Plus, you can sew embroidered labels on them to easily identify which bin is for what purpose.
Whether you’re an expert maker, a sewing beginner, or simply a DIY enthusiast, get creative with your next project. Share your ideas with others in one of our classes and see where your imagination can take you through the many features a Brother sewing and quilting machine has to offer.
