this would explain why I have so much "stuff" I buy things to use in my sewing~ some that is suppose to help me improve~and then I set it aside to wait until the "time" is right...whatever that means! I bought some of that gripper for the rulers...then have continued to struggle with the slip. Last night I finally grabbed it and put it on one of the Lazy Girl rulers I was using. Worked like a charm! I wonder how much better of a quilter and sewer I'd be if I actually USED all this stuff I've had my hub shell out his hard earned money for?? With that being said..I came to a decision to actually use every single thing...this next year I will buy less and use more of what I have...gadgets rulers fabrics etc.....No wonder he looks at me funny when I say I HAVE to have something. =)
