Do any of you get About.com Quilting Tip of the Day by Janet Wickle? She shows us tips by other people. I must've signed up for it since it pops up on my email regularly.
Today I was dismayed to see Klue's tip that she discovered all by herself about putting a marble under the quilt to help with basting.
This is what was on my email....
Quilting Tip of the Day --- Turn a Marble into a Basting Tool
From Cheryl: If you pin baste your quilt on the floor or on a table, place a large marble under the quilt. Roll it under the area that is being pinned to hold it up a little. This makes basting easier and saves your rug from being caught in the basting pins -- or your table from being scratched.
But now, I'm wondering, Klue, if you are the Cheryl who shared it there. Did you do that yourself? What are the odds that somebody else also just happened to have a marble under her quilt and discovered it worked so well for basting?
So either Klue submitted it herself or somebody stole her idea which I think is wrong. Quilters should have ethics too.
