    klue- my travel agent said no scissors, was wondering about the needles. I could always bite the thread- although I consider that a no-no. And I guess I'll have to finger press. Now I'm thinking maybe I should just forget it. But me, 4 hours in one place- not good. I can't even watch a movie without dancing in my seat. I think I have adult ADHD.

    Maybe you could take a thread cuter like knitters use. I have one that I took on a airplane trip with no problem. It hangs around your neck like a medallion. I think it is made by Clover.

    Thanks Klue, I tend to work a lot with little pieces, I did mess up one of the corners on this one and have to go back, warning, the rotary cutting directions on this one are a bit big, I will have to take a closer look at it when I go to do it for the quilt.

    These blocks aren't for your quilt? You're doing all these blocks for the fun of it? lol

    I flew to the UK this summer with my English-paper piecing project in my carry-on, and worked on it on the plane with no problems. For cutting your thread - take a container of dental floss. The cutter on those works great for thread, and airport security has no problems with dental floss containers!

    Not really for the fun of it, I saw in the project area a table topper and I immediately thought of my DM, she has a nice round table etc and I think it would be perfect for it. I wouldn't mind one for my table but would use different colors and do more than the 30 blocks that I need for DM's. I am using it a warm up for Jan.
