[quote=AngieS]1st: Finding this board. =)
2nd: I use those mole strips that you buy that are sticky on the underside for my 1/4" seam. I just cut a strip and stick it down. Works great!
3rd: I cut my blocks while watching t.v. with dh and safety pin together so when I am ready to sew I just take a stack and lay them all out and sew. This way I can have several ready to go and just sew them up all at once.
4th: I have extra bobbins all ready to go when I get ready to sew. This keeps you going for quite a while without having to stop, wind the bobbin and rethread.
Best thing I ever did.... Bought a Side Winder -- it's a little box, about 3" X 4" -- sits next to my machine. When you need a new bobbin, no need to unthread or re-thread your machine -- just pop a new bobbin and your thread into this little dream, and bam! you're done! I thought maybe $20 seemed a little steep for such a simple thing, but I LOVE it!
