S.E.X. in Tucson

A friend and I took the day yesterday to do some shop-hopping. I must say
that although it is clear the heck on the other side of Tucson, I found the
Quilters Market to be a great shop. What a great bunch of staff, and
wonderful selection too. I had a great time. We stopped again at Bella
Quiltworks, too, and fell in love with the place all over again. My friend
and I had lunch at The Keys, where we got great food and service, hit a
couple of shops that weren't exactly "quilt" shops but featured fabric. I
found something to make myself some badly-needed new kitchen curtains, got 5
3/8 yards of good cotton for $10.00. More than enough for curtains and a
tablecloth!

At one shop we found something unusual...pre-wound bobbins. They appeared
to be made of cardboard. Anyone here ever used them? In what machines?
Just curious.

Now I must go and launder my new stash. I have this need to fondle all that
fabric again!

Have a great weekend, everyone.

If you use a thread such as Aurafil or The Bottom Line in your bobbin your
bobbin thread will last longer. The Aurafil is a 50 weight egyptian cotton,
costs about the same as Mettler Silk-Finish, and is supper clean - generates
much less fuzz. The Bottom Line was developed by Libby Lehman.

Love the pre-wound bobbins. They can pack more thread onto them so you
don't run out as quickly. My machine is a Pfaff and I just have to pop
the
carboard sides off so that my low bobbin indicator will still work.
