Hi and welcome. No tips come to mind right now.

Thanks Rhonda for the seam ripper tip.
Here is something else for you to think about. Since my hands are older than I am, I got a woodworking friend of mine to remove the plastic handle form my ripper and he made me a wooden handle.
It's bigger around and a bit longer, and with a hole in the handle, a little ribbon on it and I can wear it around my neck.
Of course quilters never rip, just unsew a bit.

Hi Loretta,
No tip book, but it is because I hadn't thought of it. Wonderful idea and maybe some of the older, no more experienced, quilters can get something from new ideas and tips.
Thanks, Pam

I have quite a few tips, but can always use more. I have even gotten tips on how to improve and old tip.

Pam in WV, this board is GREAT for tips and tidbits!! That's one of the things that keep me coming back. I've learned lots of wonderful "little" pointers that don't turn out to be so little. Enjoy.

Welcome!

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a tip as opposed to a favorite tool, but I am just loving the mechanical chalk pencil I bought. The brand is Bohin and it cost $11.50 and is worth every penny!!! I was able to mark the entire outside of a lap size quilt without a single broken tip! I could never get a point to stay on the chalk pencil for more than a few minutes of marking.
