    Help finding a repairman

    Does anyone know the name of the vintage sewing repairman in Merritt, Michigan? I have a Singer Redeye that I'd like to give away. It has to be within driving distance because shipping is too high.

    I have a Verilux daylight 10,000 lux floor lamp that I purchased for health reasons. It is wonderful for sewing, too. I've had it since 2009 and I'm still on the original bulb.

    I was there earlier this week when they were pulling fabrics. I didn't come home with any, but may have to stop back in. I often use HL fabrics for backing.

    I love the Northcutt blenders. One of the lines is Gradations. They fray a little more than some fabrics, but the sheen and color is worth the bother. My favorite solid black is Northcutt, too. I...

    For both of mine, I cut my strips 2 1/2 inches. I strip pieced as much as possible, then cut to 6 1/2 inches. So my pieces start at 2 1/2 by 6 1/2. These were on very large lap/nap quilts.

    Was the fabric prewashed? I had that happen with a RJR fabric that had missed being prewashed. It shrunk enough to distort the block when I pressed it.

    I don't use basting spray, but with my pins, I'd do the spiral first. If the fabric moves a bit, there's no place for it to go if the square is first.
