I'm interested in the sewing with fur question too. I have fur for my crazy quilt.
I bought one yard of fabric for the binding on my friends UFO that she gave me. I tried finishing some of the quilting on it this morning and my sewing machine went nuts. Totally messed up the bobbin thread. I'm going to rip it out and try again. My sewing machine and i are not currently getting along. I'm not sure why.
