Gel Pen for marking on dark fabric
No experience--BUT, I wouldn't use a permanent marker of any kind on a
quilt. Who knows what it will do to the quilt. It is archival for paper
only.

OT Help with pain
Have they checked your heart?
Heart problems in women are usually felt in the back.

Losing access to newsgroup
Comcast did this a while back. I'm paying $7.99 a month for Giganews.
Great access. No problems.

Yep! A good chair is a must. I have two, both good. One in front of the

I love a cutting table. It is a godsend--the right height with rulers right
there.

You have entered the Quilter's Twilight Zone where things may not be as they
appear.
Persevere and you will be rewarded at the end.

failing quilts was How binding?
I've had a quilt "fail." As mentioned before, it was one offending fabric.
We still use the quilt carefully, but I've not even thought of replacing it.
It seems too overwhelming--king sized quilt....

failing quilts
Gee, I've washed wool quilts in cold water on the gentle cycle. It works
well. Drying happens by draping it in the garage and let it slowly dry. It
has always worked well!

OT and then some, a fashion question
The vinegar smell did
go away and usually it took the creases out. Sometimes scissors were
required. Polly
Did you cut the creases out?
Inquiring mind and all that.

New Photos up
On old quilts that have rust spots on them, the fabric is very brittle and
flakes away. Will the "new" rusted fabric be weaker also?
