Here's the question, I have a quilt top all put together and thought I was finished with it but there are very large blocks of white that I was just going to put some fancy hand quilting in. This was a block of...

I was searching around the web for an easy way to finish edges of quilts, that binding stuff is for the birds..... I found this site: http://easymade.com/video_clip6.html and it looks promising. Has anyone ever tried this method?

This machine is great.Bought it for classes because it is so lightweight. No foot control(unless you want to put it on for free machine quilting)because you adjust the speed with a control on the machine, totally light weight, 120 stitches with length and width set for you automatically like on an...

Here's the scoop. My oldest daughter is now 14. Back in 2000, I helped her do a y2k swap. We collected thousands of fabric squares, and this last year I helped her make them into a quilt. Basically, she just made a crazy quilt with the squares, by using a foundation and just laying the fabric...
