    I got a transparent legal-size clipboard at our local Staples - works great as a small light box.

    Oh, thanks for mentioning the tape. I keep a little figure 8 of it on the top of my machines. When I trim threads, I park them on the tape. Keeps the threads off of the floor and my clothes, or getting back on the quilt.

    Sounds like a great, cheap idea as my bobbins are always coming unwound!

    Hi Anna, could you elaborate on this use of the adding machine roll and fabric. Do you sew material to it for borders, etc.? Thanks Cheryl
