Last spring I ran across a lovely preprinted panel of spring flowers and things at a LQS here and couldn't resist buying it, though I haven't often used preprinted things before.

I am starting to look around at sergers. I may be in the market to actually purchase a good used one or a decently priced new one. I would like to have some "testimonials" on the sergers you own. What features do I need to look for and what isn't necessary. I have a fairly new Viking sewing...

I need suggestions from the group. Here is my dilemma. I have fallen heir to some calico prints and want to make a scrappy quilt. Keep in mind this is the first quilt of this type I have ever attempted...and the only the second quilt made. Does anyone have a favorite old/classic way to use up these...

I got her permission to share this with you all. She's on the way to the hospital as I type this, because her labor has progressed. She didn't ask, but I'm sure she'd appreciate all of our positive thoughts and prayers for a safe, healthy and quick delivery. She'll be posting the "results" when...

Hi gang, I was just cleaning out the closet with sheets and throwing away some newer sheets that I no longer have bed for them to fit. I have heard that you can't use sheets for the back of quilts but I have never heard why. Can you use them for quilts that are to be used for wall hangings? ...

I wanted to register at Yahoo for the Groups but I can't seem to get it completed.
