Not sure I have a style exactly, but have strong feelings about color. I don't have a traditional bone in my body - so although I may use a traditional pattern, it will be contemporary when I'm...

I have one and like it a lot, although it only gets used when I am doing small things - not good for yardage as it cools down. When it's hot, though, it's hot. Also it's lighter than my regular...

It works great for machine embroidery - I would not waste it on regular sewing projects due to cost alone. If you need a really heavy starch for a project, it is easy to make with cornstarch and...

I also have a strip stick that I never use. It is just inefficient. I don't buy specialty rulers - like cooking tools - not interested in a "single tasker". I do love my Deb Tucker square ups and...
