Finished Dust Cover

Image may contain: indoor

Here's my completed dust cover for my Avante. I changed things up a little bit. I could have cut out an opening on either side to accommodate the poles. I decided against it. The openings would only work if the machine was pushed all the way to the back.While quilting, I just leave the machine wherever I stop. I felt this would keep the machine better protected against dust and any fur my cats may throw around in the area!

No automatic alt text available.

Here's a closeup of the front of the machine before I applied the binding. I love the sewing machines! I wasn't convinced I needed I binding so I zig zagged all the edges. I suppose I could have left it but the binding does give it a nice finished look.

I also placed small velcro dots along the top that has a built in opening for the thread pole. I may use something else eventually. I feel those dots just keep coming off no matter how hard I press them down. Either way, I think it's a nice way to protect my machine.

  1. I love your dust cover. Can you direct me to the pattern? Even though I have an APQS Lucey, I am sure I could make this work for my machine.

  4. Looks great! I think the binding gives it a very polished look, and a lot easier than trying train your kitties to stop throwing their fur around. :-)
