Great!! Best book every right here!

Well, you can't, but why bother, since the link for the tips is right there on the tips page? I did bookmark it on my computer by using the tool bar at the top, selected "bookmarks" and added my page name, but totally unnecessary IMHO. :lol:

Cecilia; A million thank you's for taking the time to organize all these tips in one place!! What a lovely thing to do for all of us!
Many blessings to you!

Thanks Chubby Bunny we appreciate this.

Checked it out and it is great. Not sure how to add a tip though. When I send a block in the I seal it in a zip lock back with the ship to address just in case something happens. If the evelope gets wet the block is protected. Thank you going to all the work to catagorize the tips.

Thank you !!!! :-D

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. What a great help this will be for all. Big hugs to you.(((()))))

Big kudos to you!!!!

Thank you for taking the time to do this as I never knew what the acronymys meant. Also all the rest of the info. will be so helpful. Now if I can just learn how to post pictures.

What a great idea! Thankyou

WOW! You are wonderful. Thanks so much!!

great idea! thanks!

Ms Chubby Bunny, thanks so much for organizing all this. You've done a great job and I really appreciate all your effort. I guess my suggestion took off a little faster than I imagined it would. Again we all thank you for organizing this for us. D

:thumbup:You can post new tips here. But I'm still planning to watch the forums and add tips as they come up.

:lol: When I grow up I want to make a quilt like the one in your avatar!

It's okay, Becky, you're not blind. :D The Quilting Board "Home" page is where all of the different forums are listed. The "Main" page is one of those listed. When you click on the link to go to the "main" page, look up at the very top of the posts and that is where you will find this topic to take you to my "Tips Page".

Thanks again, everyone. :-) I'm glad you are happy with the tips page. I thought it would be nice to have a handy reference. Those tips sure do help me at times. I appreciate everyone sharing them. I am planning to go through this topic and collect the tips that some of you have left and I will add them to the tips page.

I'm sure glad you started that thread. :thumbup: I know others have started similar threads in the past, but they always seem to get lost. I thought it would be nice to have a page dedicated to the tips that everyone shares and that's when I came up with this idea.

Thanks for doing this.

I just posted a tip about how I outline quilt when I have a fleece backing on this thread: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-116428-1.htm

I don't know if it's something you might want on the tip page or not, so just thought I'd mention it.

Love the tip section you put up here so handy thank you so much. :D
One thing as a Tip that I do is I use a piece of masking Tape
to get all the cut threads out of a seam that I have had to rip apart works like a charm.

I think a TIPS PAGE would be a great idea!!!!! I've already bookmarked this idea!!! Cause I think this is a really good idea!!!

What a great job you have done!!! this will be a big help to many of us thanks :thumbup: cheryl :D

the "tips" page is GREAT !!! I learned so much just from reading some of the tips!

Thank you for all the hard work. This is great.

Been away for a while, but read the newsletter daily. Great page! Thank you!

Wow! Thank you so much!!!!!

You are very welcome. :-)

Love the Tips Page, used one good tip already!! Thanks a lot!!

I am just wondering, are we supposed to add our own tips directly to the tips pages, or will someone be screening the other threads for tips that seem good enough to go on this section?

Thanks Donna for the great work on Tips pages. Your the greastest

I am screening threads, but you are welcome to add your tips here and I will add them to the official "Tips Page". :D

This is such a GREAT idea!!!!!! Thanks ever so much!!!!!

Don't know if this is where to leave a TIP but here goes. It may sound dumb, but, when I am pinning a binding to be hand sewn, I always COUNT the pins before I begin & when I'm finished. It saves sitting on a dropped or misplaced pin.

Well call me dummmmm I'm looking and looking and couldn't find the tips. (slapped myself on the head) Then I went back to your first post. OH there it is. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for doing this for everyone, it will be a huge help to have all the tips available. I really appreciate the time and effort you put in to this project!

I posted this tip but I don't know where I sent it. (One of those "Senior Moments") so I'll post it again. This is in reference to fabric storage.
First I want to say WOW to Gayle. That is a beautiful collection you have there. And I love your cabinets!
I mounted closet rod holders (the kind you can put a shelf on the top of), used a shower curtain rod and hung 6 over the rod sweater holders. Google "over the rod sweater holder" for a visual if my discription isn't clear. I stacked my fabric in it by color so I can see at a glance what I have. You could use the shoe size holders for FQs. If I'm going to be away from my sewing room for any length of time I hang a sheet over them to keep the dust off.

I've searched and searched for actual tips. Perhaps there are three or four in eight pages. We all agree that a tips page is a wonderful idea and we are grateful for it. Now can we limit ourselves just to posting tips instead of all those "great idea" and "thank you" posts? I hate to be grumpy but I don't have time to plow through all those non tip redundant posts.

There was a TIP about binding where you sewed (strips)
2 colors of fabric together, one wider than the other and it made a flange by sewing to the back and then sewing between the flange and the 2nd color. Used it and it is great. Looks like you took a lot of time to do it. NOT

This is awesome! Thanks!
