Measuring Tape Block

Quick and easy "ITH" Stitched Blocks

Blocks for hoops 8x8 or larger

The blocks this month are all Stitched. These blocks are just fun! I’ve done 41 designs, which is enough to make a lap-size quilt. I also included a “Base” design with all the number combinations to make specific numbers if needed. One added detail with these blocks is the addition of a 1/8” ribbon stitch on top of the stitched seam to mark the inches

Hi I'm PJ

Since 2006 I’ve been a teacher at Montavilla Sewing Centers in the Portland Metro area. I design, produce and teach the monthly projects for Babylock Serger Club, Janome, BabyLock and Brother Machine Embroidery Club, and 8” Block of the month Club.

I have a lot of fun creating projects, designs, and patterns that incorporate techniques and products to encourage the students to get the most out of their Sergers or Embroidery Machines.
