About a week ago, I posted that I'm reaching some ladies at work how to quilt. One of my first lessons was how to do it SAFELY! Reading these posts, I'm certainly on the right track.
In fact, true story... to save money, they all bought the beginner set by Fiskars... mat, ruler, rotary cutter. For safety reasons, I prefer the rotary cutters that are self-closing when you put them down, releasing the lever.
To demonstrate the difference between the two cutters, I asked to hold one of the cutters from the kit. Sure enough, thankfully before I opened the cutter, it went flying out of my hands, bouncing across the table. (Beware! the cutter in the kit is very smooth and is hard to grip tightly.) If I'd planned it, I couldn't have given a better lesson!!
Is there a doctor in the house? Sounds like we need one, now and then!! :roll:

I'm fighting with the binding on my quilt. I sewed it on the front and am using a decorative stitch from the front to sew the binding down in the back. There are about a zilion pins in this thing. Somehow, as I'm carrying this thing to the sewing machine my feet get all tangled up in the quilt and I end up on the floor with about 6 pins in my butt and the back of my legs. Yikes!
