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.
Prayers on their way for you.

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
computer, one for sewing.
I love a cutting table. It is a godsend--the right height with rulers right
there.

Poufing quilt top!
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.
With sympathy,

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!

The vinegar smell did

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?

Good luck on finding a house. Being close to family is sure important in my

If I had to move now, I'd take what I wanted and burn the rest in the
"accidental" fire. They'd be suspicious...
