New Products
Cynthia's is now the monthly meeting location for the American Sewing Guild local chapter. There are two groups that meet. The group encompasses all types of garment sewing and embellishments from coats, jackets, blouses, and pants to leisure wear and lingerie. We sponsor sew-alongs, focusing on a single project for three or four months during the year, interspersed with presentations on Zoom or in person by well-known sewists around the state demonstrating a variety of methods and techniques to help give our finished garments a professional look and fit. We are working on improving the sustainability of our craft by repurposing existing garments and fabrics with the intent of reducing land-fill waste. We do sewing for community service organizations throughout the year. The COGS group meets from 10 am until noon on the 2nd Friday of each month except July and December.

What is Ruler Work? Ruler Work is like Free Motion Quilting with “training wheels”. Rather than using a Free Motion Quilting Foot and hand-guided motion, you use a Ruler Foot and Ruler Work Templates to guide you as you stitch quilting designs on your quilt using a regular domestic sewing machine and extension table. Join Deb Ewing for the informative introduction to Ruler Work with your domestic machine. She will cover the topics below and more: Setting up your machine for Ruler Foot Quilting Why, when, and how to adjust the Ruler Foot Discussing the differences between various Rulers and Templates and their uses Using the Speed Control and foot pedal to "regulate" your speed for more even stitches How to sit and hold the fabric and ruler at the same time as you quilt Practicing stitching straight lines and curves with the Arc Ruler This is the foundation class for all other Ruler Work classes.
