    I need the answer to this one. Opps, measured twice and it is still too short. :)

    What is the difference between all the marking pencils?
    How do you use a stencil?
    Are there different stencils for different machines?
    What is a pantograph and why do I want one? Can I make my own?
    (And this one: How do I tell SIL that her hand-sewn quilts fall apart? In less than one year the graduation quilt made for my DS has most of its seams opening. He slept under it only during his Christmas break but otherwise it has sat on his bed all this year. I hate to think of how it would be if he had taken it to college. She is not a new quilter either. OK, so I don't tell her but how to repair it? I moved away from hand-quilting cause I don't enjoy it but thiw quilt needs every seam to be resewn. DH says we should just hang it on DS bedroom wall except there isn't any room on his walls.)

    I also would like a copy of the book. Let us know when it comes out. It is always good to learn something new.

    Just a few thoughts, hope these aren't duplicated:
    -- A dictionary for acronyms: UFO, PIGS, etc.
    -- A good description of different types of batting and how to select the best for a project
    -- A list of "repurposed" sewing tools: chopsticks for a stiletto, etc.
    -- A section for finishing the edges: wrap to the back, wrap to the front and simple binding instructions with a special emphasis on corners.

    I spotted your answer to keeping them handy on the board just recently: put a small piece of hook and loop tape (the self adhesive stuff) on it and your sewing machine. Instead of setting it "down", set it on the tape. Now, why didn't I think of that!

    My backing is too small and I don't have any more left. How can make my backing large enough?


    What I do when the backing is too small: Add any leftover blocks and put them in the middle of the fabric; add strips of leftover fabrics; print a photo of the person you will be giving it to (On pre-treated fabrics), or yourself; Make some blocks using your left-over fabrics and add them to the middle of the back; and if you don't have any left-over fabrics or blocks, use the backing as a guide for colors and make some blocks with the different colors with the same pattern you used on the front of the quilt. Does this help?
