Okay, so, as I mentioned somewhere in the "Christmas in July" threads, I was doing this wall hanging and I am way behind after being ill. Its three panels (Im pretty much a beginnier, and this was on the about quilting site). Three sixteen inch blocks, and then the sashing. Well, first the...

Rainbow stripes sounds perfect to me. Pati, in Phx CNYstitcher wrote: I am entering a baby quilt in the State Fair. After the judging, it will be donated to charity, and I am determined that this is a contest I will enter for as long as I am able. Well, I was hung up on what to do,

Thank you muchly Ms. Roberta!! Now I don't feel like such a dunce. I asked DH (who knows nothing aobut quilting, except not to interrupt me when I am muttering to a stack of fabric and to BE HONEST when opinions are asked) and we came up with the theory that they were inspired by quilts found in...

yawn I'm pooped! But camp was, as usual, lots of fun! :) In fact, it's still going on, but I always figure on coming home early, since by Thursday I'm on overload from all of the information. Not to mention being exhausted from late sewing nights, strange bed and intense concentration during...

Is it just me, or has Connecting Threads become less useful? I used to buy rulers and books from them, but lately I find I can get all that and much more a lot cheaper elsewhere, whether it's with a Joann's 50% off coupon or online at a variety of sites. I've never found their fabric selection to...

I'm usually too lazy to put water in my iron. But on the rare occasions I do, I'm inclined to leave the water in until it's gone, even tho' that may occur over the course of several days, when I've turned it off for hours and then on again. Am I doing major damage to my iron by leaving the water...

Does anyone have any experience with this product, and if so, are there specific copier brands that work better than others in the transfer process? I need to make some T-shirt transfers and figured y'all might have some experience with the June Taylor brand. I'm a polymer clay addict and we use...

Hi Sandy, I have written to them three times now asking about a replacememt screw and where I can locate one in my area. My rotary cutter is one of the original models - the replacement that I just bought is mostly orange plastic parts (made in Mexico with the blade from Viet Nam) I have no idea...

Hi All, I've just had the most wonderful weekend, a surprise early wedding ann.trip to London!(35 years on 20th) DH told me to take something smart and we booked in to an hotel in South Kensington.Took the tube to Covent Garden where he had booked us a table for a gorgeous meal and then a short...

I know that at Jo-Ann's it is usually with the interfacing. I like the HTC brand, but Pellon also makes some. You can also get fusible fleece, which is nice to fuse the backing too, then you only have to worry about keeping the top smooth. Needle punched fleece is sort of like a thick, somewhat...

I posted this yesterday - I know that Laurie G saw it before it disappeared into the 'black hole'. There is a safety concern here which should be addressed while there are other discussions going on about rotary cutters and their hiccups. Jennifer in Ottawa ------- Smooth rolling vs rough...
