    I've done it in the past and made friends along the way. I don't have issues with motion sickness and didn't really notice noise other than low level conversation.

    When I use a thimble, I place it on the end of the needle, but the thread is coming out the side of the eye so is not between the needle and thimble. I learned a neat trick in Sharon Schamber's...

    Tailor's chalk has wax in it, and is meant to be used on garments on the inside, so less tragic if it doesn't wash out.

    Try General's chalk pencils.

    Definitely do a test on the fabric before...

    I bought the a binding ruler when I first started gathering supplies. I have yet to use it. I am happy using my 24 inch ruler to cut the appropriate widths.

    I have a similar one from my scrapbook days. I don't recall dumping anything in my drink by accident, though I generally have a lid on my drink for safety.

    I've brought a cross-stitch that I'm trying to finish to our Quilt Bee meeting. Others bring knitting or similar handwork. The most frequent quilt related activity we see is finishing the bindings.
