I have HF blades and love them. I've had a couple that did skip, but I put them into my blade sharpener and they were terrific. You'd be surprised at what you can get at HF for quilting. Love the plastic clips and the suction cups.
At last! I have some peace and quiet. DH is at the dog park and DS and Melissa are at work. Before I dive into Teresa's embroidery, I'm whipping up a pile of Christmas aprons to sell at craft fairs next year. I have an assortment of matching prim country fabric and it's a snap using the serger. I just wish I had one that wasn't missing pieces! I might make some scrappy pot holders to go with them. The plan is that they'll be done and away and ready to roll when the season rolls around.
