Thank you for how to use coffee filters. I don't drink coffee but my husband did for years. Now he has found out that it irritates his bladder. He has switched to decaf but he doesn't drink as much as he use to and doesn't use the coffee maker except when we have company. So I have a lot of filters I can use. Even though I am 80 I have not tried to quilt with curves and circles. One granddaughter chose a quilt with lots of curves in it and I am trying to learn how to sew curves and get them to lay flat but they will be puckered in the middle. Point being I am going to try your method. I have a pattern for a quilt with lots of circles that I want to try. These filters should help, thank you

Do you know the quilt pattern where they cut two circles, sew them together, turn right side out & then sew to another circle? I can't remember the name but you end up with a sorta flap that you end up sewing down, the name orange slices comes to mind? This would be a good start on one of those quilts.

Neat-O site!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
I use a coffee filter beside my machine when I snip threads.
The coffee filter holds the threads great! Even when I accidentally knock it off... most of the threads are still in the filter! :P

I don't use filters anymore and have a ton of them here and at work, I knew if I kept them for a couple of years there would be a use for them.

They keep the dirt from seeping out the hole in the bottom of the pot but allows the water to drain.
