About Our Publications
For more than 35 years, Sew News has specialized in presenting sewing ideas, inspiration, patterns, and techniques to our readers and fans. Creative Machine Embroidery is the only magazine devoted to machine embroidery. It gives enthusiasts of every age and skill level inspiration and techniques to further their craft and passion. We’re devoted to filling each issue of our magazines with fun features, from garment construction to quick-to-make gifts to home decor how-tos to current creative trends.
What We’re Looking For
Included in this call for submissions are specific projects, themes, and colors for a particular issue. We have included other ideas to inspire you as well. The images and photos included here are for inspirational purposes only. We are also looking for sewists and organizations with inspiring portfolios of work to be featured in our Meet the Maker, Men Who Sew, Common Thread, and Q&A articles. Show us your work and tell us your story!
Unique techniques, pattern hacks, fitting methods, new ways to use existing tools and supplies, and ideas we’ve never featured before. If you are teaching, blogging about, or showcasing your sewing projects, you probably have great ideas to share!
