Haven't used ployester thread in quite some time, think I may have forgotten about it actually. I will pick some up and give it a go and see what happens. And I've never found a really good way to sharpen a rotary blade, I just replace it when starting a new project.

I use blue painter's tape to mark 1/4 inch. It's easy to see and several pieces stacked on top of one another makes a slight stop for the fabric. It removes easily without leaving a sticky mess. That's what works for me. I have no good tips on squaring a block, it can be aggravating. I just try...

LOL! Definitely-hands down-my favorite meal-any time of the day!

I completely agree on the cutter and mat, you get nice straight edges and the time saved cutting gives you more time for sewing. The mats can be a little pricey but last forever. Joann's does have a lot of sales, hopefully you have one close. I caught my large mat on sale there. A small one...

I love red white blue together! Pretty darn good for your first try! Don't know if you have tried it, but pins help hold your fabric in place to keep your point lining up, especially where you have several points in one place (like the center). Just don't run over them with your needle.

Nice!!

Grits are ground corn that are boiled until tender. Some people add a little sugar and butter, others prefer a little salt and pepper. It is primarily used as a breakfast food but not uncommon to be served with other traditoinal sounthern meals...It truly is a Southern thang, LOL.

Hope everything works out with your new machine. Sounds like you may have gotten a really good deal,

I would love to find an old treadle machine (for $25 especially)

I'm really liking the greens. Just had to stitch a couple of blocks together because I get impatient. I need to finish the blocks for the other swap first but I just HAD to see an actual block with the greens before I went to bed or I would have been awake half the night thinking about it and...

double post--sorry

Sometimes anesthesia can cause loss of appetite and can take a few days to leave the body completely. HJopefully, in a day or two, she will get her appetite back. Glad everything's OK.

Started cutting fabric last night...I can cut into strips at home, then bring it in to work and cut the strips into pieces at work...but I ran out the door and left it all on the table. Gosh I just wish I could bring my machine with me. Sonderah, still keeping your daughter in my thoughts and...

Happy Easter everyone!

Sending my best to you and yours Sonderah

Congrats on the new additions!

Ok, I found some nice chicken fabric on ebay so count me in on the other swap. Fabric should arrive by next weekend and I'll get started as soon as it does.

OK, I'll take your advice to heart and see what I can come up with. I have to go to Lexington tomorrow anyway so I may check out a couple of shops there. One of these days, I'm going to open a shop here in the town I live in so people around here don't have to drive 15-20 miles just for a spool...

Looked around today in the closest fabric shop to me, no chicken/turkey fabric. If I can find some fabric for that swap over the next few days, I'll let ya know. Leary about ordering online, the only time I have done so, I was truly disheartened that the fabric I received didn't look like the...
