The throat of my new SM (if that is how you call the place through where the feed dogs come up) is quite wide. The foot it came with is wide enough to cover them, but also too wide to sew a 1/4" seam. If I put my narrower feet in to piece with a quilter's seam, will the fabric get eaten? It...

I know we've debated chain store v. quilt shop fabric to death. :-) But, I came across an interesting article on the subject in an exerpt posted on Jane Sassaman's website (worth a visit all in itself) It certainly won't end the debate but it was interesting...

question for you experience machine quilters. I bought a new sewing machine, because the tension of my 1968's SINGER was beyond regulation. Got a sewing machine table, but I was still having trouble, so Fer cut the legs so it would be exactly at the same level as the old one. I am still having...

A while ago I saw in one of those catalogues with cute presents that get sent do my house for some ungodly reason, a cute star made of fleece to wrap a baby. Legs, arms and head go into the 5 triangles. I figure I can probably make one easily for Sofia, with some cute fleece and some binding...

Does anyone know where I can find a pattern called Wandering Jew? It was in Quilt magazine around Spring 86. Your help will be greatly appreciated. TIA -- Purlytoo

The latest Hancock's of Paducah catalog has- on page 73- he most darling fabric with Westies on it! I'm not a great fan of "doggie" prints, but this is really cute! Leslie & Furbabies The HairyFacedOnes 'N Me- My dogs aren't my whole life... they make my life whole. RCTQ- Houston 2004..... A...

Please join me in a happy dance for a finished Meghan's Garden quilt. Who would have thought that for a few years before I joined RCTQ I thought I would never make, let alone finish a quilt again! I found practical tips, and encouragement here, and more ... The picture is in the unfiled photos...

Kris in northern Virginia will be celebrating her birthday tomorrow, 24 October. She is off line right now, because of the painters and so on, but will come back Friday or Saturday. Let's welcome her back with a birthday serenade! Here goes .... Pat's Original Virginia Fife and Drum Corps...

Just wondering if what those of you who own a Klutz glove think about it. Does it seem bulky and get in the way? Thanks, Maria in Wisconsin

Ok, maybe I'm doing the wrong search, but can someone send me a link or instruction on how to make, what I believe is called a "Bisquit Quilt"? I saw one in the JC Penneys catalog and fell in love with it. That big pillow stuffed quilt would make a...

Hi all - just dropping in for a bit to let you know I have posted a picture of MeSue wearing one of her *signature* bright shirts standing behind The Queen for those of you who had never met MeSue in person but *met* her here. The pic was from the So Cal Ladies on the Loose gathering in Solvang a...

Greetings, I have been thinking about getting quilting software at some point in the near future, so today's Simply Quilts was really timely. I was wondering, for those of you who have it, what programs do you like/dislike? Do you find the software really helpful in designing, or do you find it...

Anna from Illinois was in Las Vegas for a seminar, with limited time for the important stuff (S.E.X., visiting, that sort of thing g). However, we managed to work things out so as to have a few minutes together at the very L-est QS here -- for me, that is. ;) That would be the newest shop here,...

Hi folks. I am sitting here mid day and the sky has become dark and orange. There is a huge billowy cloud of smoke just pouring out of the hills and into the air all around. Really creepy. There have been several fires here in So. Cal. this week. We are sitting right between two. Planes and...

For anybody (b'sides me) who's been chomping at the bit waiting---Upton Tea (http://www.uptontea.com/) has *finally* got Melange du Chamonix back in stock! That's the one with a hint of chocolate in it---sounds weird, but truly nummy G -- Jean S

A lapwarmer with a built-in buzzer. A four footed allergen. A small, four-legged, fur-bearing extortionist. A small, furry lap fungus. A treat-seeking missile. A wildlife control expert impersonator. One who sleeps in old, empty pizza boxes. A hair relocation expert. An unprogrammable animal.

I'm looking for 1/3 yd. of fabric with a money print on it. Does anyone have this in their stash? I can't find any where I live. I'd be happy to pay or send you some fabric in exchange.Thank you very much! Donna

Hi Guys, I just "inherited" some fabric from my neighbor with WWF people on it -- specifically The Rock. It's not a very big piece and I *think* it's 100% cotton but not sure -- haven't tested it. The wrestlers pics are recxtangular, about 2" x 4" surrounded by a yellow line. The piece I have...

Thanks to my mentor Sandi I can now finish my creative curves quilt top that I did at retreat last April. Maybe some of you remember when I couldn't find my border fabric that I had set aside. Well I did find it the same day but I had a brain *art and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to...
