We have three spots left for the Winner's Bouquet Quilt class on Friday, October 4! If you are able to sign up here, we have a spot and a pattern/templates for you. Just bring the supplies on the supply list (such as your sewing machine and cutting supplies), and we can even help you pick out fabric first thing in the morning.
Join us for an awesome trunk show and lecture/demo with Baby Lock Educator Karen Parker on Wednesday, October 16. Karen will bring her samples and show us all the new things happening at Baby Lock, including the Solaris and brand new machines! You'll be amazed by all the cool new features, and get inspired to create! This is a lecture/demo, so no need to bring a machine. See more info and sign up here.
Do you own one of Baby Lock's awesome sergers? Have you been wondering what a serger can do? Or do you have a different brand of serger that is hard to use? If you said yes to any of these questions, you'll love making this adorable clutch with Baby Lock Educator Karen Parker. The Dynamic Dorian Clutch class will show you new ways to use the cover stitch, pin tucks, flat lock and more. We'll strip piece the surface and then embellish to your heart's desire. Final steps take you to zipper insertion and gathering as you complete this cute accessory. This is a good class if you'd like to try out a Baby Lock self-threading tension-less serger because we will have a limited number of sergers available to borrow (at great sale prices!) See more info and sign up here.

 Unicorns do exist! Check out these limited edition Tula Pink 570E and 770E sewing and embroidery machines. With gray polka dots and a rainbow iridescent throat plate, these machines are truly one of a kind! These are limited edition machines, and we won't be able to get them after we receive our allotment, so be sure to come in, get a demo on the regular 570E and 770E machines, and put a deposit on a Tula Pink edition so you'll be next in line. They are so cute!

Baby Lock has partnered with an amazing organization called Sew Powerful whose mission is to help change the lives of girls in Zambia. We at Asheville Cotton Co. are having a Sew Powerful work day on Friday, October 25, 10a-2p. You’ll create the purses using our machines, and we'll provide the fabric and supplies. These purses contain reusable feminine hygiene supplies, which empower girls to stay in school all month and improve their academic performance.
