i got a "new" vintage singer sewing machine that i want to use but havent brought it in the house yet. it is in mint condition and a beauty, a model 15-91. i hurt my back earlier this week and cannot imagine trying to drag that heavy machine up the stairs but i dream about it every night. :-)

But just think, when you do get it in the house all the fun you will have learning all the little quirks of the machine.

If these were any of mine, PLEASE let me know. I try to be very exact, but you never know. I'll be glad to replace any that might not have been good enough.

i usually cut my stamps a little bit larger than 1.5" to make sure the receivers can have a true 1.5" square. i am aware that we may all use different methods to cut our squares, i am just asking that we take a bit more time to make sure the squares are 1.5". while a couple of "short" squares may make it into the baggies, 20 of 100 squares are too many imho.


I agree with you on this one as well HAv, I went back through mine and had at least 12 that were to short. hen there are the wonky ones that dont square up and to recut them they will only be about 1 1/8 " .. I am getting disappointed with swaps lately, I dont blame the hostess for they are not responsible for packages like these in this swap.

Wish all particiapints would take a little extra time making their swap items. I try to do my best and if I wont use it then I wont pass it along. So let sall try to make it better next ti,e around....

Well, I wasn't going to "complain" because I thought out of 1000 stamps the dozen or so unusable ones weren't too bad. But since you opened the subject: I too found at least a half dozen that didn't measure up, some were cut wonky, and several included the selvedges, which makes them also unusable. I'm pretty sure mine were OK, but if they weren't, please let me know!

Just tucked my new packets away in the box. I have 94 packets! That's 4700 squares@ Wonder how many more I need to do to get enough for a good sze quilt. I guess about twice as many or even three times as many! I'd better keep cutting, and keep those swaps coming!

any that i received that i couldn't use for my psq are in my scrap bag waiting for a pif day. someone will be able to use them.

it's not my intention to single anyone out, just asking for a sharper cutting eye is all.

I haven't counted but I think I need to do 6 or 7 more swaps. One of these days I'm going to get organized to find out for sure. :roll:

I need to do the same thing Twisted. I need to participate in several more swaps too. I will keep my eyes open for your next swap. If I happen to miss one please let me know.
