So true, Tinlizzy!

You can avoid it when searching by phrasing like this - "how to bury threads when machine quilting -ai" - put minus ai at the end.

AI will be part of the future good or bad.
If I have quilt questions I ask at guild. Get excellent answers. Same with any other question, ask people that know what they are talking about. I think future generations will run out of people that know what they are talking about.
