Aewline pencil marks fabric. You can wash it out or erase it with the eraser

No I just ordered some of the needles and have yet to try them, but it looks really easy to use and to thread; you just slide the thread up the shaft of the needle to where it goes into the slot and it is threaded. Couldn't be simpler. Wish I had through of that. Might have made me a millionnaire! ha,ha

Threading was always hard for these dear ladies. We, with the younger eyes, threaded for them.

don walk me througth the steps of rocking and roll ,thank,s Don

So today I was thinking about this thread & I wondered if everyone (except me) can quilt in any direction?

I can quilt right to left, up and down but I just can't quilt left to right.

after trying stabbing I cant get my stitches underneath to look good I now rock but I cant rock in a hoop, so I dont know how thats going to work out. On smaller pieces its been fine but quilts to be used (crib size and up) I just dont know

I haven't tried it right to left, but can go a little ways up and down, and good left to right

i'm a rocker an don't use a themble i just cant get used to one of them an i have tried just about all of them on the market an some that i picked up that arejust for looks there brass

I use a rocking motion in a hoop, and it works fine. Just keep your fabric very, very loose in the hoop, not tight like embroidery.

I am a rocker, with or without a hoop. I can quilt in any direction because I quilt with other ladies in a large floor frame and we all quilt what is in front of us! So I learned how to do "my part" and keep up with them!
