    I have a tall drafting chair on rollers that I use with my longarm. I believe I bought it at Hobby Lobby and it wasn't terribly expensive. It took some practice, but I can roll across the floor...

    I've used Mettler thread for piecing, applique and quilting. It's great! The right color is what is important to me.

    I have a rule. I will redo something that's not quite right only 3 times. After that, I consider it good enough.

    The Quilter's Dream Select has a higher loft than the Request and it is all cotton. QD has also come out with a blend and I believe it's 80/20.

    My husband offered to build me a separate building, but personally, I like being in the house. I use our office and while it doesn't have a closet, the space is decent (12 x 16). The office is...

    I agree with you on the titanium needles. I don't care for them. I've had a couple break and the way they shatter make me worry about pieces ending up in my machine. I use the Groz-Beckett.

    I place two small water bottles on either side of my longarm and it is usually enough to smooth out the fullness as you quilt. For a lot of fullness, you may need to go to vegetable cans. They are...

    I buy Improved Cut blades from Amazon and I like them. I used the Harbor Freight blades for awhile and at the beginning, I didn't have any problems, but the last couple I bought were not good at all.

    I was accepted into the International Quilt Show in Houston in 2006. My acceptance letter said that they accepted 350 out of about 800 entries, so it seems more than half were not accepted.
