Use an inexpensive letter/file holder from Staples or even the dollar store to hold your rulers. I like the way you think! Not to mention your tip! Thanks :thumbup: TreeFrog |

Can also use small dots of rubber cement on your rulers to keep them from slipping.

Now this tip I LIKE very much :thumbup: Got a lot of those toey things ........................ :P

Love all the tips, especially the one about hanging the back and binding all together.

At Dollar General I bought little pony tail holders that are like snippets of knitted tubes. There were 200 in a little purse, different colors. I slip them on bobbins to keep the thread from coming off. And they are color coordinated.
And cut your binding when you cut your quilt pieces. Otherwise you may use it for something else. If you change your mind, you have a 2+ inch strip already cut for something else. |
I must be slow. I cannot picture what you are saying to do. could you show pic.?
|
Love all the tips. Thanks for sharing everyone.

Susan, to get the automatic theader to work, make sure the needle is at it's highest point & that the presser foot is DOWN. Follow the directions to do the threading.

I spent so many hours over the years trying to thread the darn thing the old way. I was glad to learn how to use the threader!
