For your rulers, check out Ebay if you aren't coupon shopping and/or in a rush. I have found several really good deals on multi-ruler packs that are brand new & name brand.

I have a computerized sewing machine I have the Brother NX-2000. I did move the needle to the right. I think I am just going to give up on that block and find something else to do. Thanks for all your help.

I'm going to see what I can find there before I shop online for it.

I hope you just put it aside and go back to it later. I feel your frustation. Truly I do been there one that chock one up for the brat she hits that road block ALL the time.
Dustysmomma no no shopping for me. I have lots of good things. I would love to see what they have but then I think I need to use what I have more. Rulers and such are probably amongst the basic essentials when your quilting. I spoke to someone the other day who said hand cut with scissors their pieces. OMG I would never get a block that worked if I didnt have a rotary ruler. I would kill my fabrics! I think the early quilters were to be seriously admired if you think of the tools they had to work with. We are sooo lucky!
Batiks batiks.. I think I will make some pretty purple/blue blocks as my first set. I just have to finish two other projects and I am all in for getting my first set done. I might make a starter block to share so we can get the color party started

Wal-mart is also clearancing out a bunch of their rulers and sewing stuff, check your store...
I hope to be playing with batiks this weekend or will at least post a teaser for some fun color combos.

I am procrastinating on another project and did my first set of 6 today. I tried to come up with something that was in my stash. The block is from the current BOM project called "Sisters' Ten Modern BOM" that I found online.

what a great pattern to showcase batiks! i want it!! love your block kelly. I love lots of blocks without hst's. they are truly fun to make. ok with hst. not too great with qst. it gets dicier the smaller that triangle gets so I can safely say you wont be receiving any qst blocks from the brat.
Kelly after you scared me about breaking the needle if I move it to the middle i have learned to use it to the left and its totally fine. I put that blue tape down on the front plate and it helps guide my fabric in perfectly. I am a hot mess without that tape. lol but it works for me so I am happy.

When I told you that, I was talking about putting the needle in the middle WITH a 1/4" foot. The 1/4" foot for our machine doesn't have as big of an opening as the "J" foot (the one with a little black knobby thing & a spring on the side). If you aren't using the special foot, you shouldn't really have an issue with your needle breaking.

Well, I dove off the fabric moratorium head first today. I went to Joann and stocked up for a while. I spent over $200 & most of what I bought was fabric. I got about 30 FQ's, most of which were batiks, for $.99 each, and I also picked up 3 different batiks on the clearance table for $3/yard. I was shocked to find any there.
I also got a 4 piece Omnigrid square ruler pack with my 50% off coupon!
Now to see how many sets I can whip up!
