Anyone else got a Kenmore 385.15516000 that they use If so, is there a way to drop the feed dogs and is it possible to get a walking foot for it given the (to me) weird set up with the feet? Do you use it for machine quilting at all (with or without a walking foot) if so how? (my manual is...

Ash is into the genetics books again. He came running up to me to show me an illustration saying "Wow! Wook! poweepide bons! woooooo!" That that translates into "Wow! Look! Polypeptide bonds! wooooo!" DH swears he added the 'wow look' part on his own, but has confessed to teaching him the...

I know you've already seen pics of the dollhouse, but my son got some shots I didn't get, and they are hilarious! You gotta see these. Click the first one to open the bigger image, so you can read the captions about what it going on. It was truly a fun, fun...

I don't usually spend much time going to garage sales, but this morning there was one within easy walking distance of home, so I walked over there. They had a Singer 401A for $7.00. No attachments other than the regular presser foot and the foot control. I don't really have room to store another...

I see all these posts about thimbles and searching for the holy grail, eer, thimble. what is the deal? I have several thimbles I love, most of them gotten at estate/yard sales for a few bucks, usually in a lot of sewing stuff. according to the day, the heat, the size of my finger I use one or...

Wax and Freezer are VERY different. Don't mix them. Have you got a Teflon pressing sheet - that is perfect st fused pieces just peel off and can be reironed onto fabric. -- Cheryl http://community.webshots.com/user/witchofthewest cawaitesATnetconnectDOTcomDOTau

Is anyone experimenting with wool applique? For most things I prefer the felted wool to the wool felt. Felted wool is when woven wool fabric has been washed in hot water and dried in a hot dryer to create the felt. Wool felt is made by a non-woven process and is not as soft as felted wool. Some...

I searched thru my quilting magazines and found the March/April 2004 Fons & Porter issue. If the person who was looking for a particular article in that mag (was it Cyndi) still wants a photocopy, just email me and I'll gladly send it off to you. Sharon (N.B.)

Well, I have finally gotten to the point in the sewing room that the Bernina 200 is ready to rock. ONe small problem. I cannot find the power cord. I do have one that I can use from the Bernina 153QE so it is not an emergency. It just bugs me that I can't find it. I was so careful to pack...

Well the RCMP just left and we are left with a HUGE broken window. One of our front room windows met with a rock fired out of a slingshot......... glass shards from one wall to the other of the main floor of the house. Even have glass shards on the steps going up AND down!!! It is like it...

Hello everyone. I'm trying to do some research as to which quilt machine is best. My wife has been looking at the Handi Quilter (I'm not sure which model). After poking around on the net I seem to come accross either the Handi Quilter or the Grace company brands. Our budget is around $1,000. ...

I know there have been several posts about quilt frames recently but for some reason I have not been able to access anything in the archives for the past week. In fact I can't "see" anything dated before 5 Nov for some reason! So, at the risk of being repetitive - Does anyone have one of these...

So I go to the doctor yesterday. Not that I particularly wanted to, but after years of being blown off by the PA's at the clinic when I went in with high fevers or ear infections swelling half my face having a real doctor who takes his job seriously is kinda neat. Besides I definitely want him...

This medication was the cause of my Polymyositis. It is for lowering cholesteral when dietary changes don't work. Apparently my elevated cholesteral was genetic and this medication worked well for keeping the numbers down but after 3 years on this medication I developed the red-purple rash, etc...

I am trying very hard to find 100% cotton fabric in a certain color to make my husband some scrubs for work. He' rather tall (6' 4") and in commercially made scrubs, they get wider, but not longer as you go up in size. I haven't been able to find him ready-made scrubs that are sized Tall and not...

I have been having a devil of a time finding a nice dark blue fabric with small red hearts for Raggedy Ann dresses. It just isn't around new anymore. I found some perfect stuff in an Ebay store and it just got here in todays maile. It is perfect, was cheal and was quick. Annie will have some...

Ok, here we go! How about a meet up for any interested RCTQer's at G Street Fabrics? Cappy and I will be going on November 19th, planning on arriving at G Street around 2:00pm. Then dinner at nearby restaurant when we can't stand up to shop anymore...or when we close the place down (geez, I...

He threatened to tie me down if I start one more quilt, but I know he's just kidding. Isn't he? In any case, Popser didn't complain about his birthday quilt. Now he's telling everyone about it. Story #275: "Honey, I Downsized the Quilt" (and small quilt) It's just a little quilt. Maybe I'll wait...
