delurk and some questions! by
lloer
Hello,
I've recently gained an interest in quilting. I bought my used Husqvarna
Lily 545 (which is the 'quilting' Lily) in the summer as I needed a new
machine to make my wedding dress - it was a choice between the new 535 and a
used 545. At the time, I thought I wouldn't use the quilting extras...

White fabric review? by
I remember the review of different black fabrics not so long ago. I have
a red and white repro quilt coming up in the future and I would like to
get a good quality white fabric for it. I would be willing to buy a whole
bolt. I know that I would end up using it. Not looking for an optical
white;...

Determining fiber content by
Ann
I cleaned, sorted and organized my fabric closet today. I have a pile of
material that I'm not sure if it's cotton or poly cotton. Is there any way
to visibly tell the difference? I can tell the good quality cotton just by
the feel of it, but what I'm not sure of would be the not top quality (if...

coast = starboard side).
Ok, let's pick a date. It sounds like the meeting place will be someplace
in Virginia. Kris has suggested Potomac Mills Mall which has a G-Street

This is a pic of the quilt after I finished tying it. Colin is bored,
and mildly miffed that I had to push him around because he liked to try
sleeping where I was working. I finished it by self-binding the muslin
backing to the front, trimming the...

Applique Pattern help by
Marcella Tracy Peek
A lady at church stopped me today and asked if I had any applique
patterns for baby quilts. Seems she has three: a goose with babies, a
teddy bear and something else which I am forgetting. It's one big
applique pattern that makes up the whole quilt - think cheater panel
without the cheating ;-) ...

Quilts from Big Bright Scraps? by
dogmom
I finally realized why my scrap quilts don't look like the ones in all those
"quilts from scraps" books. I thought it was just that I had lousy design
taste (which may be true in any case!) but it's also that my scraps are from
25 years of sewing clothes, most recently scrubs for a vet clinic....

quilting software by

After watching the Simply Quilts show today I am a bit confused about
the software available to quilters. I am under the impression that
several different programs were used to demo whats available. I
downloaded the PCQuilt demo but wasn't happy with it.
Since I am just investigating this aspect...

I see that Joann's has a special sale coming up. Prices are tempting
but I will take a chair and a good book along if I go.
Last week I was at the new Joann's Superstore in Naperville, IL on a
very average Wednesday afternoon. They had six women working the
cutting table and three registers open....

The joy of a design board by
Polly Esther
I decided that I just had to have a design board. There was a sheet of used
paneling left over from our remodeling project standing in the garage. We
cleaned it up and brought it in. Didn't know if it would do or not, but I
covered it with some cheap, stretchy baby terry. Had to unearth very...

Featherweight wanted by
nana2b
I am looking to buy a FW. I have been watching E-Bay, lots of them there.
Any suggestions besides price? Most of them look very good as far as finish
and decals. Most state working condition and condition of cords etc. Any
suggestions are greatly appreciated.
