Tartan has the perfect solution. No, I haven't done that; but the things I have done would fill a small notebook. In fact, yesterday I was sewing a liner for a basket that I keep my scraps in and did something I didn't even know could be done. I had used those flat flower head pins to hold the fabric in place as I sewed the bottom to the sides. I would stop and remove the pin as I approached it, but this time I didn't stop soon enough. Did you know that you can sew a stitch right through the plastic flower? I didn't, but sure enough I had a stitch going right through the head of the pin. Didn't hurt my machine, didn't hurt the needle, broke the thread; but good grief how goofy. Hope the quilt police were off duty.
