Makes me wonder - - where was I when all this creativity was being passed out?? What a clever idea!! Don't have kids or grandkids so don't ever visit kids craft areas. Must try to do that sometime.

I am JEALOUS!! I bought the Joanne ones and was wondering how to use them for a bargello! Now I just need to use your idea!

Shirlrh 06-17-2011 06:15 PM

Very cute and great idea!!

JJane 06-17-2011 06:16 PM

How clever you are.

Becca Bear 06-17-2011 10:11 PM

Ingenious!!!

grest idea i usually just tape a number on the first block of each row , but these would stay on a lot better

Great idea! I love to find things for the sewing/quilting studio that weren't originally intended for that purpose.

What an awesomely cool idea...sooo much better than my ripped post-it paper and straight pins that I ALWAYS stick myself with!!

And to think I made my bargello with little post it notes that came off every time I touched the strips. Great idea.

VickyOH 06-18-2011 11:19 AM

Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

valsma 06-18-2011 11:48 AM

How great is that idea? I have a tendancy to get my rows or strips confused and then have to go back at rearrange things. I'm going to have to keep my eyes open for something along those lines and borrow your idea. Thanks for sharing.

Agreed! Cute and Quality...please:)

I love this idea

blueangel 06-19-2011 03:51 PM

Good idea.

carrieg 06-19-2011 04:29 PM

Thanks for sharing that great tip! It's the best one I've heard in awhile. I use the posties.

Fons & Porter sell their own row markers...maybe they won't publish this tip! LOL

quilter girl 06-20-2011 04:34 AM

So simple - but wow what a neat concept. Am going to give it a whirl.

ktmo815 06-21-2011 10:02 AM

great idea

Just Me... 06-21-2011 10:23 AM

Cool! :thumbup:

quiltedlamb07 06-21-2011 10:41 AM

yes, a great idea

MaggieLou 06-21-2011 11:10 AM

Hobby Lobby also carries these for $2.99 for those of you that don't have a JoAnn's. I checked Michael's but didn't find them.

These are so inexpensive I think I'll buy a set for each of my quilt group friends for stocking stuffer gifts for Christmas exchange. Great and cute idea. Thanks for sharing.

borntoquilt 06-29-2011 05:06 PM

I still like green or blue painters tape..... too "gimmick-y" for me! JMHO! :-D

Shirlrh 06-29-2011 05:18 PM

I really like these. I went to our Joanns and they don't carry them. Too Bad!

valsma 06-29-2011 05:23 PM

I went to walmart to see if I could find some of the numbers to use and couldn't. I did however find letters and number mixed, so I bought a bag came home and seperated them into some little plastic boxes I used to keep my beads in. Now when I need to mark a row i'm going to use them. Funny part I will have to skip over G, there were no letter G's. Weird. LOL
Thanks for the suggestion.

azam 06-30-2011 08:19 PM

Fabulous idea :idea: Thanks for sharing...

QweenBee 06-30-2011 08:21 PM

Very smart tip! ou should add this to the tutes for others to see! :thumbup:

MDMPanther 07-02-2011 12:59 PM

Looked in JoAnn's today and couldn't find any, but went to Hobby Lobby and found them and they were 1/2 price on sale!!! So I bought several bags so that I can share this with some other quilter friends!!! LOVE this idea...I've been using scraps of post-it stickies with straight pins...ouch!!
(PS - found them in the beads section for making jewelry)

ann clare 07-02-2011 01:01 PM

Love them

AFQSinc 07-02-2011 02:41 PM

I finally found some at Michael's. They are not the same brand and they are a mixed box of both numbers and letters. They were $4.99.
