It certainly is worthy of honoring it with hand quilting....what a treasure.

I've used dark maroon on two of these....not so severe and worked really well.

Yes, I learned it back in the 50's in Girl Scouts.

I tried it and the only thing it did was to collect copius amounts of lint and then I had a devil of a time getting it and the lint off my ruler.

Love those little purple scissors from CT.....I have them everywhere and even give them away as a little something extra with 'quilty' gifts.

We paid over $1000 for my Koala outback over 10 years ago as a floor model closeout. I cannot imagine my sewing life without it.. It has been well worth every nickel.

I finally figured out that my problem is the mat....I had cut in the same spot so many times that the fabric was pushing down in there and the blade couldn't cut it. Try turning your mat around to an...

Not at all weird.... I used to crochet alot and when I would start a project because I liked it before it was finished it was calling out to me the name of the person who would be its new owner...I...

I know it sounds extravagant but I would make sure I have plenty of white on white, cream on cream, beige on beige, blenders and solids. I can usually work something up if I have those on hand.

Thank you for the help. I will be going to Fabric Depot in Portland on Friday so I'll see what they have. I never thought about trying to make it myself but sounds like it's do-able.

Since this was given to me and I did not buy it, does anyone know what to call it or where I might look for it? It doesn't have to be this particular fabric. This looks to be a gathered polished...

Absolutely the best company on the internet..... get this, I ordcered a closeout fat quarter bundle and 1 fabric was missing. I wrote to them and identified the missing fabric. Because that fabric...

And here is one of my donation quilts...

I hated mine and gave it away

I bought this little steam iron from Target and I liked it so much that I bought a second one for the RV....right size, priced right and it is wonderful....

There is a very simple technique for sewing satin blanket binding with a 'sewn' in mitered corner. I did this last year on several blankets and now I cannot remember how and I cannot find the...

Got my brother at Costco and I love it... everything I needed.

I use Handi-Tak (check for it on google) on the underside of my mats, etc to hold them in place. It comes off very easily if I need to move it and it doesn't leave a mess.... It's the same stuff I...

Very attractive way to finish the quilt and cut down on the scraps too....I do this quite often when nothing seems to work for binding.

Thank you..... ;-)

Yes, I would like to know also.....

Good thread, good fabric, great customer service..... and a group of us combine our orders for free shipping.

The walking foot is not listed in the specs for the refurbished one...

FYI .....I bought a Brother XR-7700 from Costco for $139 with free shipping. It's lightweight and comes with all the bells and whistles including a walking foot. I'm very happy with it and it...

They don't make a straight stitch plate for all Brother machines..... ask me how I know. Even down to sending an email to Brother to complain about it. Why make a machine set up for quilting (even...
