I don't know if anyone mentioned this but she needs to become a member of the QB. I did try to read what everyone else posted but I didn't see the QB mentioned anywhere.

Not an absolute necessity, but we bought a magnetic bowl to store pins in. It is very handy.

[quote=cminor]How about one of those tiny rulers that have the little arrow at the end to measure small pcs? quote]

I just bought a baggie of 19 of these from our local thrift store for $2.99. I would offer to share them but I'm pretty sure the postage would be more than buying one at the store.

This is a crime -- even for a new quilter.
This is the best reply yet. I love it. You certainly have your priorities in the right order. LOL
Also..you need more than one seam ripper for when your friends come to visit and 'help' .

Bares is right ,there is nothing wrong with your spelling, and good for you that your hubby supports your hobby, many DH's could care less. Now you can help me..what is 'fabric heat seat glue' never heard of it. Thanks.
