Got a Babyville Boutique book from JoAnn's. Most of the patterns look complicated and not very practical. Has anyone make them and used them? If so, which patterns work the best?

I buy steam a seam or heat n bond narrow tape. After sewing the binding on the front and before turning it to the back I put it on not quite to the edge, turn and press it down. It holds very well...

I use a piece of cardboard box or cardboard they wrap fabric on, most stores are happy to give them to you, and wrap it with fabric, like a gift, which I glue down. Let the glue dry completely then...

Where did you find the stained glass pattern? Hard to believe it was quick.

What a good idea, I also donate fabric I will not use to a local group that does charity quilts. They take even the smallest scraps. I go through my fabric and always find pieces I can not figure...

I work in retail and taking the 40% and also the 20% would be a double discount. Employees are not allowed their employee discount on the item they use the 40% coupon on either and we feel that is...

Yes they do accept the coupon on your cell phone.

Surgeon's Secret is a good one to use and it doesn't wash off quickly. My husband has his hands in water a lot and this works well for him.

Wow, that is so pretty and you did a wonderful job. What is the pattern and where did you get it.

Sometimes the sale prices are even better than using the coupon so I don't have a problem with that. I always have a list of things I use around the house other than sewing such as mailing tape,...

Go to www.keepsakequilting.com and you can sign up for their catalog and e-mail. Been there and love it, they even have rocking chairs on their poarch and the men love it. When we were there they...

What thread do you use for hand and or macine applique ?

Soooo beautiful - great job!!!!!! What kind of thread do you use for your applique? Is it machine or hand done?

What kind of thread do you use for hand applique?

Items go on and off sale all the time and never because they are damaged or seconds. When things are damaged they sell at 75% off so if you can make it work I would ask for the additional discount. ...

Are the e-mails going to your junk mail? Also ask your mailman - I have heard that some of them are not delivering flyers. They consider them 3rd class and junk mail.

But the 25% off your total purchase does include sale items and red tag fabric. Used it and saved a bundle.

Things do get dropped in the wrong area. Best thing to do is ask the clerk at the cutting counter to check the price before you have it cut. Then you are not getting a shock at the register or...

Never have, never will. My husband and I are both totally gray. Is very strange when his mother with her black hair introduces her son to someone. So glad I never started - guess it is impossible...

I use a piece of a cardboard box and cover it with fabric, matching or coordinating, and glue it down. It works well and can be removed if I wish to launder the purse and does not cost a thing.

Stock up on candy bars, LOL. They drive me nuts when everything they have there is on sale, so I get things for my secret pal like Schmetts needles, post-it note pads, candy and the envelopes to...

Always nice to hear something nice about a retail store and so wonderful of you to let them know it. I bet all they ever hear are compaints so it will bring them joy to hear something good. Being...

Don't know about where you shop but our store has many different lines of fabric - Legecy, Susan Winlet, Debbie Mumm, and 2 or 3 others - mostly better quality. I have gotten fabric with name brands...

Always have a list of non sewing or crafting things (tape, duck tape, glue, lint roller, new ironing board cover, etc.) for the times your items are on sale. Always, alway, always use my coupons. ...

Absolutely beautiful - well done !!!!! My daughter has wanted a table runner for St. Patty day and I would love to do something like you did in a table runner for her next year but can never find a...
