I have pieced a top for a baby quilt, and have found a book with designs I would like to use. Have not done this before, and wonder how I should go about transferring the designs to the quilt. The book suggests tracing the designs, then layering several pages of paper and sewing through, with...

I have been looking around at yardsales lately. I decided to step in to an estate sale and I found a Singer 319W there. I paid $55 for the machine, a table, and quite a few accessories. The table is not original to the machine (I don't think- but I'm not an expert.) She needs to be cleaned up. ...

Hey Ladies I was wondering what size needle would I use with 28 weight thread. Kate T. South Mississippi

I can't believe it! I just bought a whole bolt of fabric, still in the plastic and everything. Some of you might be thinking "but why?" (Others probably thinks "why not before now?") I decided pretty exactly a year ago that "some day" I'd do a Baby Jane with the purples I'd already started...
