Hi Louise here are my answers:
1) Do you cross stitch? No
2a) Do you like to do a LOT of applique (that involves cutting small pieces
and/or in tight corners)? Yes, I love applique. What kind of scissors do you use? Small Simplicity with curved tip.
2b) If you applique do you do fusible or raw edge turn (or both)? I do fused. I want to learn needle turn as well.
2c) What kind of scissors do you use? I use several different ones. I have small ones. I have large that are the the spring loaded ones with no loop on top.
3) Do you like "blocks" that are not finished? (size 12-1/2" I think)? Orphan blocks are cool.
4) Do you like BOM patterns that are "missing" a one or two of the
months (like the Joanns BOM's)? What an opportunity to come up with a block or two that will work with the others.
5) Have you seen those magnifying glasses that clamps to the machine? I have that same one. I got it more for the light. The light wasn't that great and I always forgot to turn it off and the batteries went dead very quickly. But I do use the magnifier and love it.
