cow fabric is very cute ! I like your insulated tote . Is the silver fabric the teflon kind ? Annie

Very cute!

Try using 'denim' needles when you're using that silver stuff, or when doing totes. I use them a lot and never have a problem with breaking.

silver stuff was already quilted from Jo-Anns, with coupon $6/yd. there may be better 'silver stuff' out there, but i wanted it in a hurry as mom's b-day is just around the corner.

thanks for the compliments! it's so nice to have 'friends' to share with that 'get it'!

that was my last 'broken' needle. finally went back to the #14 and went really, really, really slooooooowwwwww!

i don't know ?? i asked for the 'heat resistant stuff' at jo-anns and she pointed me in the right direction. it was regular $10/yd on a big roll.

And I thought denim was hard on needles ! Broken needles , I don't know how many ! Annie

Great job. I am sure it was worth all the headache and bent needles.

I've used Insulbrite a few times & never had a problem with the needle. but it wasn't prequilted. Nice project, love the cow fabric.

It's adorable, and your mother will think it was worth it!
