elusive fabric! (long) by
Debbi
Pat,
I will have to take you shopping with me sometime. I bought some really
pretty Benartex fabric last year and started to use it this year on an Irish
Chain quilt. It was looking so good that I decided to make the quilt bigger
so that it would fit on my queen size bed, but alas, I can't find...

Martelli rotary cutter by
Kathyl Jogerst
Hi all. I bought the Martelli rotary cutter while at the Houston Quilt
show. It's supposed to be ergonomically correct and be much easier to cut
with a ruler. I'm having NO luck with it. It seems to be flimsy in the
holder and I can't stay on a line against the ruler. I end up with...

Viking Mega Quilter by
KittyG
Ho Ho Ho! I guess I was a very good girl this year.
I am now the proud owner of a Viking Mega Quilter.
What a beautiful machine this is. The harp is 9 x 6 and there is a large
extension bed. It does up to 1600 spm, although I have found it is way too
fast for my stippling it is easy to control...

Halloween swap by
frood
Yes, it's that time of year again, when a quilter's thoughts turn to the
greatest of all holidays, Halloween! Ok, it may not be the greatest holiday
to everyone, but it is to me! G Therefore, it's time to start thinking

Altoid Tin Covers by

fabric amounts for quilts by
Taria
So I come across a neat quilt in Fons and Porter's magazine (sept./oct.
2008) It is called Mariner's in a Pickle.
It could work for what I want to do. Under the materials list is 2-3/4 yds
of 17 prints. 2 yds. for binding and
14 yards for backing. That comes to a whopping 62-3/4 yards. My...

Question About Sears Electronic Sewing Machine by
I've been wanting to use the script printing for my quilt labels,
however.......I've totally forgotten how to make the letters bigger than a
1/4" high. I can put all the letters in memory, etc., but my sewing book is
vague about the sizing. The lady at the store did it, but she's gone now
and I'm...

research for a new sewing machine by
Michelle C[_3_]
Eventually, I hope to buy a machine that is more suited to machine
quilting than my Kenmore (although I've got no complaints with it as a good
standard sewing machine). And no, I won't be buying a long-arm--can't
afford it. That said, I'd be very interested to hear what features you
think are...

I really tried to love her. by
John
I will say it again. I really tried to love her. That Bernina Aurora
430 with all the bells and whistles. Let me back up a bit. I have sewn
all my life on mechanical machines. I never wanted to get a
computerized machine, but fell victim to the vagaries of sewing
machine lust, and happenstance....

Just wanting people's thoughts on this. You can e-mail me privately if
you wish. I'm not looking for a flame war, just some honest real life
thoughts. The first website is a site you can look up the shots a lot of

I have a problem. by
AliceW
Terri, welcome to the group - you are not alone! The only tip I can give
you is not to even joke about your job taking time away from your quilting -
I did this once and got laid off from my job! No job = no shopping for
fabric! From your other descriptions, it sounds like you have...

Correct height for cutting table and sewing machine? by
The Brown Family
I just read something that made me think I should ask this question, because
I often wonder about it and don't know the answer. So, does anyone know
what the correct height that your sewing machine should be, as well as a
cutting table???

HMS Daring complete with wake by
ed
Here it is in all its glory awaiting stretching:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/12554259@N07/2319032366/
I have to say the wake is my personal, most disliked part of the quilt. Done
with muslin and never to be touched again until stretched in a week or so.

OT-missing son update by
Marlys in Indiana
Figured I'd better check in, besides just lurking in the background.
Just want to thank all of you for the prayers, good thoughts and well
wishes. I really can't understand why my son hasn't been found, unless, as
the detective in charge of the case says, perhaps he doesn't want to be
found. ...
