Thanks for sharing that wonderful idea. I love it when I can use something for multi purposes.

I used to have the same problem remembering what that tip was.

Now I have a document created that I call Tips. It is stored in my computer so I can open it up in 2 clicks. I copy the tip I want and paste it into my document.

I've been doing it for so many years I have chapter headings so I can find what I want faster. I've got chapters for ironing/pressing, rotary cutter tips, sewing accurate 1/4" seams, squaring up, etc.

Hope that helps somebody.

I haven't got a light box so I tape it up to a bright window! Free, natural lightbox. :-D This is a great tip - could be used for tracing quilting designs to sew through, I guess - I wonder how it would tear away? Have to try it! Also, my freezer paper (Reynolds) is good for several uses - I save all my little appliqué templates and reuse them again and again. :-D

That's terrific! I love saving money (so I can spend it on fabric) :lol: Thanks for the tip.

Wow, I have never thought of using freezer paper for stablizing something. I use it for other sewing things. Freezer paper has to be cheaper than some of that stablizers.

I also have a folder on my computer for saving tips. Most of those tips come from this quilting board.

I put a folder on my desk top so I can start saving my tips.
