i wish we could add an attachment/picture ot PM's. that would be nice. then i would of sent them a picture directly of the purple thang and pounce pad..and not reposted the info.
for people who are not a member, i am not sure how it works. i signed up right away when i saw this board! it is so awesome and helpful!

I have seen some folks respond to repeated same inquires within a post with the page number of the answer. Perhaps this is one way to handle it, so that the inquirer gets used to looking for the replies, reads more than the current/last page, and learns how to flip through the pages before asking? I thought this was a good idea when I saw it.
And I do understand - after about the 15th time, it sure gets old - and the post becomes very, very long. But if posting the page numbers helps, then that may be a good answer?
Just a thought.

Well I am seeing people liking and using some stuff that others thought useless. Maybe time to sell some stuff?

3. my binding clips that look like the pop-open hair clips...they save so much time
4. my Kwik Clip tool for placing quilting pins
Isn't it great when you've bought an item and it really DOES work well?

Funny I have the chalk pens and love them. But I always make sure I have a hard surface under the fabric when I am marking it. Have the bobbin winder and don't use it. Just think its a pain. Looks like we can see why there is a market for these things ... I love my little ripper holder from Fons and Porter. Makes chain sewing fabric pieces go faster when I can just set it there and it cuts one right after the other apart.

I am glad someone else said it. I was wondering the same thing on many posts. However, at 25 pages of comments it is somewhat daunting to read every post. I can see it both ways in a case like that.
