Archived News From Temecula Valley Sewing Center - 2006

This page is an archive of old posts from 2006 on the What's New page.

11/24/06 - Hello everyone, and welcome to the freshly re-designed website! After working on a few other websites in the last year, and gaining more experience with web design, I felt like my website just wasn't professional looking. The website definately needed a fresh new look, and after working many hours on the new design, I finished it yesterday! I have updated the class schedule, and changed quite a few things around. I hope you enjoy it, and find it easy for you to navigate through. Let me know what you think!

My second annual Spirit of Christmas Sale starts tomorrow! Discounts on merchandise will be the same as last year. Here are the discounts:

The Spirit of Christmas Sale is my special way to honor my Lord Jesus Christ's name and birth. I specifically do not appreciate retailers who try to take Christ out of Christmas, in an attempt to boost their Christmas sales. (Wouldn't want to offend anyone, right?) The Spirit of Christmas sale is my attempt to keep people thinking about the true meaning of Christmas. I hope you will enjoy my attitude regarding keeping my heritage and tradition alive. If you were trying to protect a holiday that was important to you, I would certainly give you the same respect.

Anyways, the Spirit of Christmas Sale ends January 1st, 2007. Discounts do not apply to merchandise previously sold by Temecula Valley Sewing Center. See store for other restrictions and details.

Since I figured that my customers wouldn't want to show up for Embroidery Club on the last Saturday of November and December due to the holidays, I rescheduled Embroidery Club's last meeting of the year for Saturday December 2nd. Embroidery Club will meet at the usual time, 10:00AM. Embroidery Club WILL NOT meet this Saturday, November 25th (tomorrow), nor the last Saturday of December. This December 2nd meeting is the final meeting in 2006! Call the shop if you need to ask any questions. I look forward to seeing you on Saturday, December 2nd!

11/21/06 - Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I just want to let you know that we are going to be closed tomorrow, Wednesday the 22nd, and Thursday the 23rd, in observance of Thanksgiving. We will be back open on Friday! I hope you enjoy your holiday, and that you will be blessed as you spend time spent with family and friends!

8/11/06 - Hello everyone, I just got back from a dealer meeting with Janome. At this meeting I got to see the 9 new sewing machines they have coming out this fall.

My personal favorite new sewing machine is Janome's new Decor Computer DC2007LE. This limited edition computerized sewing machine has many great features and accessories, 30 stitches, an automatic buttonholer, Janome's 7-piece feed dog, auto-lock, needle up/needle down, a built in needle threader, a convertible free arm, auto-declutch bobbin winder, and a digital display. MSRP for the machine is $649.

I am also very excited about Janome's new stand alone embroidery machine, the Memory Craft 350E. This new embroidery unit is much like the Memory Craft 300E, but is not replacing the 300E. Janome is just giving it's customers more choices! The biggest difference between the 300E and the 350E is that the 350E will be able to accept USB sticks. The 350E will still be able to use an ATA/Compact Flash card, but with the ability to use USB sticks, this new machine will be even more easy to use. Other features that are new for the 350E are design rotation by 1 degree, and design scaling in 1 degree increments. The machine also has a new ball bearing for the upper shaft, increasing the durability and longevity of the machine. Best of all, the machine has a MSRP of only $1549.00.

We will have two different Janome Hello Kitty sewing machines coming in soon. These machines are adorned with Hello Kitty designs, and are a perfect present for a young girl. One is a 3/4 size machine, and the other is a 1/2 size machine, identical to Janome's Sew Petite.

To give you all the details of the new machines would just take too long to type out. Please come by the shop and see the new exciting machines. We have a wide assortment of machines that will accomodate a user of any skill level, and we have a machine that is in just about anyone's price range.

5/11/06 - We have just updated our Classes & Events page! One special thing to note is that we are starting a new beginning sewing class in about 2 weeks. You will need to sign up immediately if you want to take this class! If you have kids or grandkids that are out of school for the summer, this class might be something you would enjoy doing together. It goes for 10 weeks, and so far all of the beginning sewing students have really enjoyed the class. Don't miss out!

Bernina University is in San Diego this year! Since it is so close, I think we are all going to be there. We can't all be there and keep the store open, so unless something changes, it looks like the weekend of July 1st and 2nd, Temecula Valley Sewing Center is going to be closed. I think that a lot of people will be combining this weekend with Independance day for a long 4 day weekend, so I'm not sure we will be missed if we close for the weekend. July 4th is typically a very slow day for us here at the shop.

The movie "The Davinci Code" is coming out May 19th, and Temecula Valley Sewing Center has been giving out Josh McDowell's related book "Quest for Answers". While supplies last, you can come in to Temecula Valley Sewing Center and get your FREE copy! While The Davinci Code is a fictional book, it's author has claimed both in the book and in television interviews that it is accurate and true. I didn't feel like I could sit around and let somebody bash the church and Jesus without doing something, so I bought these books for anyone who wants one. Once again I don't have an unlimited supply of these, so come and get one while they last.

3/13/06 - I know I am a little late writing this message, but I want to say thank you to everyone that participated in the Project Linus "Make a Blanket Day". I had around 100 blankets donated, which I thought was awesome! The winner of the Janome DC3050 sewing machine was Prayers and Squares, a local church sewing group. Here is a picture of them, with Claudia Rose of Fairy Godmother Guild. Claudia is on the left, and the Prayers and Squares sewing group is on the right.

The Make a Blanket Day winners

The awesome turnout really made this event exciting for me, and I can't wait until next year to do it again. Don't forget that Temecula Valley Sewing Center is a year-round drop off point for Project Linus!

2/11/06 - Theres not much time left! One week from today is the Project Linus "Make a Blanket Day". Saturday February 18th is the last day for you to turn in blankets and be eligible to enter the drawing for a Janome DC3050 sewing machine! You will be entered once for each qualifying blanket dropped off to us before the end of our business day on Saturday February 18th! To learn more about Project Linus, please go to the Project Linus website.

Another great website to check out is the Fairy Godmother Guild website. Claudia Rose of Fairy Godmother Guild is our Project Linus coordinator. She works hard as our coordinator, and we hope that she will inspire you to participate in Project Linus. Her website has a lot of information and a blog. Check out the Fairy Godmother Guild website today!

1/21/06 - I'm a little short on making this announcement, but for those of you who machine embroider, Temecula Valley Sewing Center will be starting a new embroidery club next week. The embroidery club will start next Saturday, January 28th, at 10AM. This embroidery club is free, and is not brand or model specific. Embroidery club will be hosted by Aileen Woerth, will last about an hour or so, and will take place on the last Saturday of every month. We have wonderful mini lessons to share with you that will teach you some of the special techniques of machine embroidery. We will be sharing the newest embroidery products and designs with you, as well as offering you a chance to ask questions about your embroidery. The best part of our embroidery club is that it is free to everyone! You don't have to have bought a machine from us. Embroidery club will be a wonderful opportunity for you to meet other embroiderers in our community, learn new techniques, see new products, and enhance your embroidery throughout the year! We look forward to seeing you here at Temecula Valley Sewing Center!
