I recently was given a quilting tip I would like to share. For an inexpensive stablizer, use coffee filters. They are acid free and can be bought at the dollar store. I have tried them and they work great. They iron flat and they tear away very easily. Does anyone have any helpful, money saving hints they would like to share?

Thanks!!! Will have to try that! And welcome to the forum

just some oldies but goodies..

~ stick glue instead of pins
~ chop stick for pointer/turner/third finger
~over the door shoe organizer for holing notions and stuff
~ over the door Christmas wrapping organizer to store rolls os stabilizers, heat n bond or what ever rolls you use

what a great idea....will try it for sure...

coffee filters are great for windexing glass too. No streaks or lint.

And I'm weird about taking my favorite soap with me when I travel....I wrap it in a coffee filter then put in baggie.... :oops:

My best tip is:
Do what you love and Love what you do,
Then life will give great rewards to you!

Great tip> I would love to see a collection of these> Unfortunately I'm too new at quilting to come up with many tips. Only one...I found that a cheap flannel backed table cloth makes a great quilt board. I can lay out my squares and even fold up the whole thing and store it without messing up my layout.

Well, I'm stocking up on coffee filters!

I have one...

For long arm quilters who have trouble with micro stippling....attach a magnifying class in your feild of vision (on your machine)...look through the magnifying glass while quilting

This tricks the eye into believing the design is bigger than it really is..and your hands will make the micro stipple... Great huh?

Cool tips- thanks!
