I to am very thank full for all the information and creativity I see and read about here. I also really appreciate the help when my brain goes dead and someone is right there with the information I need to keep on going.
Thank-you to all of you who participate here.

My additions to this list:
making mug rugs and other small projects to gain experience
advice available when I need it
all the quilting info that's available here or on other websites

I agree would love it if they put a like or love button on here-sometimes just those two little words means so much

I to have learned many things here, and seen some awesome stuff too. Not ironing the binding is a biggy!

Learning to enlarge the screen is another! My ability working a PC has improved! Getting creative with scraps and being encouraged to finish ALL my UFOs.

This is just a few things I greatly appreciate. Thank you everyone!

peace

You can also use a scrap of fabric to start sewing on before you start piecing (these are variously called sew-ons, sew-offs or leaders and enders.

I have a Viking Sapphire and you can get a single hole sticth plate on ebay for them.

This board is always a stress reliver for me just knowing someone out there has an answer for my problem that seems so big and knowing someome will help me. I'm still a newbie and have learned most of my quilting skills from the board and I too, am so greatful for it. I hope every one has a wonderful evening. I thank of each of you as family even if we have never met in person. Maybe I can help someone later.
