I LOVE Trims, Sewing, and Quilting!

Why not stop by my eBay store? (You'll be glad you did.) I offer more than 1100 sewing and craft trim items, combined s/h on multiple purchases, and pricing far below retail. Why waste time driving and going to 3-4 stores for what you need when you can find it all at Dove Originals Trims? And since I ship within 24 hours, you'll have your items fast.
Dove Originals grew out of my love for beautiful embellishments of all types. I am a quilter specializing in detailed Victorian style machine embroidered and decorated quilts. I am always happy to try to help with any sewing questions you might have or to offer a recommendation regarding a particular trim. Just click the 'contact me' button at the right to send me an email.
If you enjoy decorating and sewing projects, visit my new lens at Victorian Design for projects and instructions for dozens of items that will give your home a glorious Victorian look. I've also created a classical music / opera lens Jussi Bjorling, my favorite tenor. If you've never heard his voice, you're in for a rare treat. And finally, I have a 4th lens on beautiful Japanese Nippon porcelain.
I'm an eBay store owner with more than 12,500 positive feedbacks. I sell many of the trims featured in the projects that I've posted. About twice a month I send out an eBay email to update my customers on new items that I have added to my inventory. If you would like to participate,

Some Tips On Caring For Trims
Don't Make a Costly Error!
Some hand washable trims can be machine laundered providing your washing machine has a hand wash setting for the wash cycle, water temperature, and washing speed. Very delicate washable trims including washable sequins and beaded trims should be hand laundered in mild suds and cold water. Air dry.
Very delicate beaded fringe and tassels should be removed from the fabric prior to cleaning.
Washable ball and tassel fringes can be revived from the harsh effects of frequent washing and drying by passing a steam iron over the tassels / balls to restore fluffiness.
Despite the use of high quality dyes, washable dark colors such as black, burgundy/red, dark brown, and navy can bleed. Before applying one of these trims to a light color fabric, cut off a small piece and place in a glass with warm water. Check in a few hours to see if any dye has bled into the water. If it has, wash your trim in lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Air dry, and then apply to your fabric. (Quilters- this is a good way to test fabrics as well, especially reds which sometimes bleed.)
To control shrinkage on washable trims, don't use hot water or high dryer heat. Trims marked 'shrink-controlled' will shrink a maximum of 3%. Trims (and fabrics) not marked shrink controlled should be washed to pre-shrink prior to sewing. When applying your trim don't stretch or pull it taut; simply ease it in place while stitching.
It's always a good idea to purchase a little more trim than needed for easing, rounding corners, joining, etc.

HOT NEWS: Apple Macintosh Tips and Reviews
I've been a diehard Mac user since the mid 1980's when the first Apple Macintosh computer was released. I've still got my old SE up in the attic. I currently have 4 networked Macs, the iMac G5 PPC purchased a year or so ago with a great 22" screen. The new Intel Macs are fabulous and give you the best of both worlds.

Jenny Haskins is my favorite designer, and her books are a feast for the eyes. I also love the designs that Martha Pullen offers as well, especially for embellishing linens, machine smocking, and fancywork.

I'm in my second month (started January 31) of using this traffic generation program and I think that it, together with the other marketing tools that I have used over the last couple of weeks, has helped my eBay sales. I just purchased another month of service. Questions about the program? I'd be happy to try to help.
