Day 9 of 30 Day Giveaway Featuring Texture Magic

IHAN's 30 Days of Giveaways
Anniversary Celebration Day 9


 

If you have never used Texture Magic before you are in for real surprise.  I can't think of a more appropriate product to follow the V100 Digital Velocity Iron (aka Steamy McDreamy) than Texture Magic!!!


Look at this beautiful journal cover made by Bridget Wiseman that is being shown on Mother Superior's Blog.  I think it absolutely beautiful.  I want to open my bag and pull out a notebook that looks this beautiful, don't you?

Texture Magic gives any fabric project added dimension and texture.  All you have to do is put Texture Magic on the wrong side of your fabric and stitch it down.  You can have some fun with how you stitch it down because that will make a difference in how it turns out.  Once it is stitched down....you steam it.  Did someone say steam?  If you are the lucky winner of the V100 Iron....you'll have absolutely no problem with this one :)  The Texture Magic shrinks up and so does the fabric.  You get a really cool texture that can be used in clothing, quilts, stuffed animals, home decor....the sky is the limit.  (It can be used on Silks-oh boy....and we're giving away silk too!!!)


Watch Patsy Thompson's tutorial here....this video shows you just how to use Texture Magic.  There are two more videos of Patsy working with Texture Magic.  They are on Superior Threads website and you can click here to view them.

Speaking of Superior Threads website, you may want to spend some time there looking at all the incredible information they have on their site.  Bob Purcell offers a  "School of Threadology"  and there are Reference guides, a  Gallery, and an Eduction Index that covers information about bobbins and needles etc.  There is so much more to see so you might want to sign up for their Newsletter so you can on top of all the news.

"Patterns by Annie" offers several patterns that use Texture Magic.  We will be giving away one of Annie's Patterns along with a package of Texture Magic in a future post....stay tuned:)

Do you want to know how you can have a package of Texture Magic sent to the address of your choice?  All you need to do is leave a comment below sharing with us what project you have that could be enhanced using Texture Magic.

For extra entries, please send photos of projects you have made with Texture Magic to IWantToWinAtIHAN@yahoo.com
Smiles,
Kelly
Last but not least- I want to remind everyone that they can enter all of the giveaways because they don't close until April 15, 2010 at 10:00pm CMT.  If you would like to increase your chances of winning please read SewCalGal's Tips.  Please consider taking a button (copy and paste) from the upper right hand corner of my blog to post on your blog and link to it.  I want everyone to have an opportunity to win these beautiful gifts.

  44. I have never personally used Texture Magic BUT I have seen it used and it is VERY VERY fun. It really adds dimension and character to the project you are working on. I watched my friend sew a cellphone cover in less than an hour using TM and it would have absolutely not been the same project result without it. It was fast and fun to watch transform! I think everyone would have a blast using it! I just need to get some..lol

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  85. I've got some Australian fabrics I bought on vacation that will be made into a market bag that has pockets on both sides. Texture magic would be a great way to add extra dimension to a flat pocket.

    ReplyDelete

  93. The address of my choice would be a mini quilting group that I belong(ed)to. She is wonderful with embellishments and this would be a great gift to her. I say belong because one remains a part of any quilting group that you participate in, but I say belonged because I have moved too far away to participate. Sure do miss that group!

    ReplyDelete
  94. ooooooh aaaaaaah, I've wanted to try this product since it first came out. It looks so neat! I'm making some wall art right now that I think would look AMAZING with some Texture Magic! *fingers crossed*

  97. I want to use the texture magic on either a jacket or purse or maybe even both.

    ReplyDelete
  98. I think it would work great to use in a purse or bag.

    ReplyDelete
  99. I hate to be a copycat, but I'd really like to make a small journal cover for my purse with a lovely textured front.

    ReplyDelete
  100. I've never heard of texture magic before, but checked out the videos. Since I love texture in my paper projects so much, I know I'll love it in my quilting. I started making little art quilts after I first got my sewing machine. I know they are not real quilts, but they are fun and easy and your don't have to be a good seamstress to make them. This product would make it SO easy to add texture to these little quilts before I add the backing. It looks so easy (a word I live by) to use. I wouldn't have to be a skilled seamstress to use this. It is something that would give great results to my scrap quiltlets with little sewing skills on my part.

    ReplyDelete
  101. ONe project I NEED to try is using htat stuff in a purse. I've seen it online and so want some of my own...
