Thanks for sharing all this great information!!!! You should post the links on the section for links on the board - other members would probably be interested especially the scissors.

However when I was at the Houston Quilt Festival a couple of weeks ago everyone was talking about Tulip needles from Japan and they are even better then straw needles!!! Karen Kay Buckley sells them on her website here is the link.

Also on her page is a link to the best scissors ever! They are awesome...have a micro serrated blade that cuts the fabric without fraying...most scissors do not have this and they end up pushing the fabric away from the blade causing more fraying. The point is also really sharp perfect for applique.
