I learned that a lot of us use our seam rippers and sew barefoot. Don't know if this was the most important but heartwarming.

Keep your fingers away from moving needles.
The edge of one's rotary cutter is really sharp.


And most important........

When faced with someone bigger than you, always aim for the knees. (Dad told me this, He was a Navy Man and taught all of us hand to hand combat.))

I love the third one! Being a shorty, it always worked for me!

I don't know how you can sew barefoot! My tootsies would get cold and I seem to need a hard sole! Here are my favorite shoes...no kidding!

Aaah, now I can sew!

it may work for you, but isn't necessarily true for me....and definitely vice versa..most quilters have cats or dogs.....& if it's ugly, just keep cutting it smaller!!!!!!

Mine is to Starch, starch, starch!

Enjoy your day!

Set seams before you press.
Starch, Starch, Starch. Did I say starch.
