I have received a Bernina 2500dce from a friend and cannot find much information about it. I have found info about the 2500dcet, but I don't know the difference between the two. Anyone know?

If I send you a squishie or thunkie or gator, please don't thank me out here in front of everybody. I cannot afford to send something to everybody. I truly can not - as much as I would love to show every one of you how special I know you are. If I send something anonymously, it's because...

When you look though quilt magazines, online quilt sites, and through our own member's photo albums, what attracts you to a particular quilt? Is it mostly the type of quilt, be it traditional, modern/art, or new technique? Do you find yourself drawn to a particular color/fabric combination? ...

Hello group! I've been back in Dundee for about 24 hours now, and just finished deleting all the spam in my inbox, opening all my post, and yesterday went out to get some fresh vegetables and fruit, and bring my cat Sasha home from "Auntie Dawn's house". I think she purred all night long. She...

OK I am at least a gingerbread demi-goddess. I have been making gingerbread houses and accessories for some time. DD#1 has decided to give it a go for the first time this year. Even though she has turned her nose up at my dearly beloved gingerbread goths, I have agreed to assist her. Thing is, DH...

when I lift my older Kenmore, I turn the wheel and look at parts that turn underneath, and that is where I put a drop of oil. You may have some small holes on the machine for oiling, but it would be better to get the manual to find all the oiling places. If the side of your machine opens up, or...

If you listen to music while quilting, what do you like to listen to? I have 944 mp3 files (all legal) on my computer. I'd like to hit a thousand, and I like all kinds of music. I would be interested to know what y'all like. Also, when do you listen to it? While piecing? Ironing? Basting?...

All this talk about Ben & Jerry's ice cream and Julia's post about her cheesecake recipe got me to thinking. This may have been brought up at some time or other, I don't know. But I'll bring it up again. Has anyone ever collected recipes from RCTQ and put them together into a recipe book and then...

My mom is going to start chemo and radiation treatments for her breast cancer pretty soon. I have some questions about how I can help her thru this. If you've experienced either and are willing to answer some (possibly personal) questions for me, please email me at quilteacher at yahoo dot...

Welcome to RCTQ, a usenet discussion group of quilters. We want to read all about your quilting activites, and welcome questions. We may even come up with some helpful answers! But we do have a few requests, to keep this NG moving along. We ask that you do not post pictures here, but we love to...

I guess I'm getting too many peculiar offers in the spam trash I'm letting through and not suggesting that you get a university degree by mail or send the balance in your savings account to some prince in Ballawongabanga. What I'm wanting you to do in our Happy New Year is DO something you've...

There was a very successful Yahoo group set up last year known as FII2003 (Finish It In 2003). That group was so much fun we have set up FSM2004 (Finish Some More in 2004). This group is open to all. The plan is to decide what you want to finish and/or start in 2004 and share that with the group...

I saw a posting about Fons and Porter and that got me thinking... I like magazines and I've seen several different quilting magazines out there. Does anyone subscribe to any or recommend any? I'm sure that personal style/taste dictates a bit of who likes which ones but any general...

Many moons ago someone mentioned having flannel with a grid on their design wall. Does anyone know where this item can be purchased? -- Niasha If it don't kill you, it can only make you stronger!

Sorry it took so long to send out. I went to Houston and it threw my schedule off. If you got an email from me, but didn't get a file attached, please let me know... But check all of your email first, cuz I resent when I realized my mistake. Sometimes 2x! LOL OK. I'm a slow learner. If you missed...

After reading through the ideas thread for king-size quilt, it got me thinking about large quilts and the blocks chosen to make them up. If you choose 6" blocks (or smaller), you end up having to make a gazillion of them to do a queen or king-size quilt. If you chose 12" blocks, there are fewer...

My friend is expecting her first grandchild, and we are all so excited, for many reasons... and her DD loved the "Patty Reed Jungle Babies" fabric, so I have both the all-over print and the fabric with individual animals in 'boxes' .... but can't think about a baby quilt design to utilize the...

I vote red Good timing - I just posted to see if anyone has any pictures of Stack n Wack :-) Shawn

The bad news: my car is sick. Really sick. It won't start at all, and we're waiting for a part to arrive so it can be fixed. In the meantime, I'm mostly housebound. And that leads me to the good news! G I finished hand quilting, binding and labeling my Teatime quilt! :D It's all bluework blocks,...

I'm typing one handed, so please excuse any spelling mistakes. Do you find a rotary cutter useful? (Is this a dumb question?) Where did you find yours, and roughly how much are they? -- Lina Alena born July 1st, 2003 www.maternalinstinctscanada.com validate the email address before sending.
