A few months ago you posted a link to a bag with uneven handles. The long handle spips throughg the short one, so the bag becomes a pouch. I made two of them and now have a request for another one. The problem is that my computer died a wee or so ago and I lost all my collected patterns. I've...

I want to thank the wonderful people who have sent me boxtops this summer. I had a hard drive crash and found that I had backed up more than I thought I did, but one of the things I didn't back up was the directory, so I was not able to send individual thank-yous. There will still be a special...

Any recommendations for a beginning quilter? Sites with directions? I've looked in my files but the majority of those I think will be a little too much. Cindy from MO

Hi folks - I'm primarily a lurker, but I need your suggestions PLEASE. I've joined a local guild and will be the 2011 program chairperson. Since I haven't been in the guild long, I really could use some suggestions. This guild has some funds and usually has at least 4 national speakers a...

My co-worker does a lot of cross-stitch. She gave me a sandwich sized bag of bits and pieces of embroidery floss, in all kinds of colors. Some pretty long pieces. If anyone wants this, please email me off group - free to the first person! Also, last night I made zucchini bread, thanks to one...

Well, we spent the day at a local auction and I bought a great little Singer Featherweight that came with the case, bobbins, more attachments than I've ever seen, and even the original green tin oil can marked 39 cents. I paid $150 for it and got it home and gave it a test run. It works like a...

I've had a whirlwind month and am glad to get back to Quilting in August. My son Matthew is bringing me a used TV so I can use it to play DVDs on while quilting in my lower living room. Today I am getting the DVD. So then all he will have to do is plug in the TV and attach the DVD and I can...

Took my long awaited (I've been gathering my courage) into free motion yesterday. While I didn't notice any tension problems on the block I've been practicing on, I'm having problems with the quilt. It looks okay on the front, but on the back it's as if the top thread is too loose (looping...

Just curious...what machines are you all using for FMQ? I've got a nice Kenmore. It does straight stitch quilting like a dream. However, I'm wondering if there might be better choices for FMQ. Thanks! Michelle in Nevada, USA
