Doing Something instead of complaining by Roberta Zollner
I've had enough of jerry-rigging my sewing area to machine quilt. No more ironing board lowered to almost meet the edge of the acrylic table, so the quilt doesn't fall off the left. No more trying to get an extra inch of height out of my chair, and wrestling bunches of quilt sandwich that get...

need suggestions by TerriLee in WA
I'm a bit late responding, but my favorite method for finishing fleece blankets is the ready-made satin binding. Trim the edges up straight, like everyone else has said, slide the binding on, pin in place, mitering corners as you go, and use a nice decorative stitch all around. Wa-lah! ...

enablers sigh by offkilterquilter
You know, sometimes you are the enabler, and sometimes you are the enabled. I used to think I was the enabler, but thanks to Sunny, I'm getting enabled grin. As a lot of you know, I started out making clothing and have morphed into also being a quilter (started simple quilts back in 2000,...

Finished a xmas quilt... by Joanna
My first free motion quilting. Although all I did was follow the outline of the people, animals and stars. I'm really proud of the quilting part. I have tried, and tried, and tried again to do free motion quilting and just could not seem to do it. All of sudden it just happened. And I used...

need suggestions by Pati Cook
Jaquiline, do not try to do a rolled edge on this kind of fleece. Especially with one of the machine attachments/feet. It won't work worth a darn. I have done a lot of these blankets, and you don't even need to do much besides trim the edges. G If you want you can stitch around the edge,...

OT Candle Bleachers by NightMist
No not for taking the color out of, for sitting on. In my other life as a religious person, I burn a lot of candles. In fact everybody in the house burns a lot of candles. Everything from wee votives, to utility types, to the tall seven day kind in the glass jars. We need more room and...

free motion quilting woes by Anne Rogers
I know it's a case of practice practice practice, but having briefly had a chance to try it on a different machine, I was also aware that some of the issues were related to my machine, I've tried googling with the machine name, but I only come up with shop references, so I just went by brand and...

back from Hawaii by Idahoqltr
We had a wonderful time in Hawaii. We cruised the islands Feb. 3 - 10 and then spent four nights on Maui. I bought fabrics at "Sew Special" in Maui and I bought a Christmas wall-hanging and a flip-flop looking coin purse at another store. For the four quilters in my goup, I bought little sachet...

Need suggestions to put blocks together by Joanna
Need suggestions for putting this one together. I'm thinking a lap quilt for the couch would be nice, so it needs to be bigger. No I can not get the fabrics that are in it anymore. I could probably get similar fabric to match. But then how to do I choose which stars to make. Some of them I...

Florida State Fair Textiles Competition by auntiedotcom
My husband took the week off, as he is deploying to the desert on Saturday - and yesterday we took a road trip to Tampa and the Florida State Fair. I'm not sure the last time I went, but it was at least ten years ago. I was really surprised by several things - that there were so few exceptional...
