    I'm in the process of writing a tutorial. The text is written, but I need to add some photographs. Naturally, I didn't take any while I was making the dust ruffle -- so I need to do those next.

    Great comments Patti.

    Susie -- check to see if you have any dealers in your area -- or better yet someplace you can rent time on a long arm machine -- even if you have to drive a bit. I first...

    I use the 45 mm Martelli rotary cutter and love it. When I helped out at my LQS I always took my own rotary cutter because I thought it gave me more control than a regular 'stick' cutter. There is...

    When piecing, I set my machine to 2.0. Paper piecing I drop it to 1.5. If I'm doing quilting (through batting) I set my machine for "heavy" fabric and it defaults to 3.0. If I remember I'll bump...

    How about sorting the squares by color and doing a trip around the world?
