Margo posted a wonderful tutorial on sewing machine covers. Since I need three I figured I'd better get started. So I made one. It will not have the ties on the side because I failed to measure so it fits nicely without the ties. On the next two, I will measure.
I used a quilting design from Leah and I mixed it with a few swirls from Patsy Thompson designs.
Also, I tried a new technique from Diane where she uses a #60 sewing machine needle for silk and embroidery thread. I tried quilting with this new method on the sewing machine cover and I like it.

Besty..that looks just so lovely...well done.
It's a beutiful cover with wounderful quilting :o)
It is gorgeous! And the quilting looks beautiful!
The quilting looks fabulous - I've got a few on my list to make for presents too. I better get cracking!!
I need to make one. I'd not care about having ties on it...just want it over the machine as a cover to protect from dust. Yours turned out very nice! Better go check that tutorial out now.
This is beautiful...looks like you have the hang of the quilting too. I like this design a lot. Could you post the link to Margo's blog?
Beautiful! I need to make a few of those.
Hi Fiesta, I saw these both on Margo's blog as well as when Moda Bake Shop hosted Margo. I love how these go together. But more importantly, I LOVE how they can be adapted to go over your machines when you have your extension tables attached.
Yours is beautiful. I need some new covers but will wait until next year before I tackle the five I would like to make.
I love your cover but mostly love your machine quilting....you are really good.
What a great sewing machine cover. You have inspired me - I added it to my list!
Beautiful! I love the fabrics your chose.
WOW!! That came out fantastic!!
I need one of those.
What a beautiful sewing machine cover. I truly should make something like that, but I am sure it would just end up on the floor since I am always sewing and not terribly neat about it. But I LOVE yours!!
I saw that machine cover too. It is a great idea because I have a table like yours too. I love your version.
Looks lovely...sure beats those hard plastic covers that come with the machine..
I really should make a couple too...thanks for the inspiration..

Your cover #1 turned out great. Your fabrics are lovely and the quilting is marvelous!
Beautiful cover, love those fabrics. I've been wanting to make a cover and actually made one not long ago for my PIF. You've inspired me to make one for me.
What a fancy dress for your machine. I hope mine don't see it or they will be wanting one of their own.
terrific and the quilting is too, what a neat cover.
Hi Betsy, looks like you have been really getting in there, the quilting is really looking great.
What a beautiful creation ... TTFN ~Marydon
