Now they won`t let me forget it. I have contacted you, Cynthia and Emily privately, but realise you may not be able to help...

The Art of Buying Lingerie http://www.yourlingerieoutlet.com/catalog/art-buying-lingerie.php Since most women wear thongs, you're not asking her to try anything radical. Fashion stylist and lingerie savant Mary Alice Stephenson suggests "finding a smaller strip that runs down her butt, which...

On Monday I was pulled over by the Washington, DC police and they made me take a 'breath-a-lizer,' which I flunked. The cop said I was driving erratically, I was drinking, and gave he me a ticket for driving while under the influence and endangering others including my children, who were in...

Looking to buy a used book--- The Creative Feet Technical Guide & Workbook and if possible the video. Thanks.

My Mom, Daughter and myself have been working NON-STOP for days taking in all the pretty goodies at the Michigan State Fair and Oh My how absolutely "yummy" some of them are!!! Today is the last day we get them in and I am sure we are going to be swamped........but I am excited to see them all. ...

Here it is, mend it/fix it time again. This week's theme: 'A Stitch in Time Saves Nine'. I'm not sure what 'Nine' are referred to; it sure ain't nine minutes; as you will see, this is self-explanatory. The odd repair I describe today is the mend of a nice, thick fringed rug. As well as...

Hi, I'm a relative newbie here from the southeastern part of the US and have enjoyed reading so many posts from everyone who've got the most interesting things going on with their creative endeavors! You're all so creative! It's inspiring, really and I hope just a bit of that rubs off here....

I saw this http://www.babylock.com/sewing-embroidery/product.asp?Product_ID=EMB7#features demonstrated at a local store and even got to play with it myself. WOW!!! I am in love!!! Has anyone in this group bought one? What did you think? I think I'd better be very good this year so Jultomte...

Hi everyone, I'm a writer for the New York Times who is currently researching a story about high-tech sewing machines like Pfaff, and I was wondering if there were any Pfaff users out there - or users of any of other high-end machines - that would be willing to talk to me about their experience...

The topic of this post is Crazy Quilting, which is a type of needlework that was popular in the Victorian era and has been gaining in popularity since a resurgence of the craft in the 70's. Crazy Quilting consists of irregularly shaped patches of fabric which are sewn to a backing fabric. The...

Can anybody help? I'm looking for information on the sewing geometry of the Tailor's 'S'. As I understand it, it's a method of stitching material that produces a neat turn around a right angled bend instead of leaving a fold of unwanted material. TIA.

When I ordered a thimbal from Atlanta Thread, I was asked "with open or closed end". Not knowing what on earth one would want with an open ended thimbal, I was told that they are the choice of tailors. I bought one of each and am still clueless. js --

I'm trying to get going on a quilt promised to Gbebe. Last quilt I did, after five hours straight of random quilting on the quilt top, my machine began showing signs of stress. Stitches got shorter, and seemed to slow--although that may have been me slowing-- anyway, after a rest, the stitching was...

I recently re-joined your group after being gone for several years. I had a question that many of you helped me answer, including Kate. I my spare time I read all of the past questions, going backwards, to see what has been happening. I have to tell you I have had so many LOL's from Kate's...

As I have been reading the NGs having to do with sewing a thought all of a sudden occurred to me. The decisions involved, waiting for and arrival of new machines (often referred to as my/our baby) is much like that of the arrival of a much anticipated child. I know writing out that check after...

I read in one of my sewing books that 100% cotton thread is not good for use on very stretchy fabric (knits, lycra, etc.) because there is not much give and the stitches can pop and break. Is this true? Is 100% polyester thread the best choice for stretchy fabrics? Thanks in advance, Dee

Hey Peoples I am looking for fabric that is at least 500 thread count that I can use for bedding. I am in the London, Ontario, Canada. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thank you

Just ordered yummy velvet burnouts from equilter to make Christmas present scarves. Plan to finish with simple knotted fringe every ?1/4 inch - but what threads to use? Need bundle of threads to slink, rather than tangle. Suggestions? (delurking) Karen
