Hi all, My husband is a programmer and he's writing me a piece of software to keep inventory of all my fabrics. I sell baby items that I embroidery on ebay and I have an addiction to fabrics. So, I have this HUGE collection of fabrics and needed a way to keep track of what I have and how...

I've just finished quilting the quillow in cotton, used a cotton backing, and everything went wonderfully. Now am on to the final baby quilt which has a polycotton backing and I wanted to use a rayon thread but, guess what, the thread is breaking again. I'm using a new but the same type needle...

Hi I recently stumbled onto a stamping doo-dad that has piqued my interest. I was thinking that if there is a permanent ink that I can somehow apply to the stamp and then press this onto a piece of fabric, color it if necessary with permanent markers, that this would make a nice quilt label. here...

Well, got word from the lawyer in Texas today. The probate hearing was yesterday afternoon. Judge wants a change in wording on what is happening to the $$ due the youngest of the heirs, my deceased cousin's minor daughter. As soon as he has that and signs it, the checks will be mailed out....

more than once, I've been advised to use silk thread for certain tasks - I've been keeping my eye open for it, but I can't find it, is there some other name it goes under? someone also suggested gold or platinum (I think) needles, I haven't looked for those yet, but are they easy to...

I finally had it today with the Rowenta steam iron thing. The third one I have owned gave up the ghost. I had been suckered into the purchasing of Rowenta based on the supposed good reputation of that line of irons. One of them I dropped and it quit qorking. No problem, my bad. The replacement for...

Hello folks, I know some of you are technology wizards, so can someone please help me? I have the "options" about spelling set to the UK spelling in my Microsoft Outlook, but when it actually goes through my email and checks it before I send something, it always goes to US anyway! How can I stop...

Hi, Thinking about taking a river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest. We would be stopping in these following towns. Anyone know of quilt shops to stop and visit? Ones located near the river would be easiest to access on brief port stops. Amsterdam, Netherlands; Cologne, Rudesheim, Mainz,...

Hi, Ok, I had a brain warp momeent. I had my small hoop already fixed with the paper sticky stabalizer. It's the kind you hoop it then you make a little slash and pull the top layer of paper of and you lay what ever you can't hoop on there and embroider it. I had it ready to monogram my hubbies...

Hi Everyone, I was watching QNN on the internet last week but was interupted by DS wanting to speak to me on WLM and I didn't catch everything about it but it looked really neat. The lady (didn't catch her name either) was showing how to applique by (and let's see if I can explain this) doing a...

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind me asking on here but I don't know who else to ask. I've just made 6 jars of strawberry jam for the first time. However, it is a tad runny. I realize the fruit was a bit ripe but it was on offer and I thought the lemon would have sorted that out. I boiled...
