Invisible thread will melt it iron is on a high setting, probably anything higher than a silk setting. Maybe you should sew with this thread on a scrap and iron it first. HTH Barbara in SC "S R Glickman" wrote in message ... ...

Hiya - Back in June, I had the ambition of cleaning out some of the scrap heap, and I offered to send an armful to any takers. Well.. I only had one taker AAANNND... my ambition was beyond my free time at that time. So, TONIGHT I am just getting around to culling the scrap heap. So I thought...

I forget what 2-3/8" and 3-7/8 is on the ruler (really just the 3/8 & 7/8 on the ruler) I am thinking that the 3/8" is 3 dots from the 3 inch line and the 7/8 would be 7 dots from the 3 inch line. Does this make any since at all?

Due to circumstances beyond my control... I have to pin a sleeve on a quilt for a show. The sleeve is a tube. Do I pin along both the top and bottom, same frequency of pins? What frequency? Distance from the top of the quilt? Any other hints?

Some of you may remember that I recently began hand piecing Quilted Diamonds from Linda Franz's second book. Part of the time while I was worrying about DT and DBIL the past few days, I was working on one of those blocks. This little 4" x 7" diamond block has *45* pieces!! Yikes! Forty of those are...

You will anyway! LOL Bob will not be coming to Houston in November with the Hurricane Quilts (we have made about 23). Sorry you won't get dinner at that place you mentioned, which I now can not remember. The conference has been postponed until January due to so many of our plants getting flood...

I am coordinating a monthly calendar club for our guild. Each month I provide a simple applique shape (or simple image) that participants use to great a small wall or table quilt. The only thing we have in common... is the applique. No additional instructions... everybody does their...

Why should one change the presser foot? I am exploring my machine more and I have recently moved away from quilting into fabric bowls. For the bowls you need t satin stictch (as far as I can tell, just a tight zig zag stitch) My manual (from my 1965 machine) suggests that I have been given a...

I know somebody's kid wanted some newsprint fabric for a project. I wasn't interested at the time, but just had an idea. Anybody remember sources for the fabric (or is there an archive for this list?) Thanks -- L. P. Skeen, Summerfield NC http://www.living-tree.net Strongly in favor of the...

Right! Where to start? Oh. Laaaaast week! Yerse... Well, I spent a huge amount of time and energy clearing space in the loft so that the plumbers could get to the old header tanks! And this after a Monday Night/Tuesday Morning all-nighter to get the bridesmaids finished for pick-up on Tuesday...

I'm appealing for help on behalf of my DT (that's my dear twin g). She's currently living in China and cannot access many things online, so she can't get here to ask for herself. Keep in mind as I try to explain that I use a Mac, so I know *nothing* about Windows machines! G At any rate, DT...

Just got back from the Joann's Saturday sale. I picked up a book that I have been wanting to get. It is called "Celtic Quilts A New Look for Ancient Designs" by Beth Ann Williams. I have been looking at it for a while, and so decided to go ahead and get it. My neighbor is Scottish, Buchanan clan,...

I just heard on the news that the Vermont Quilt Festival will be held next year in Chittenden County, VT...I do believe they said St. Michael's college and also the Fairgrounds will be the venues. That will surely make it easier for me to go to !!!!!

Recently, a couple months ago probably....someone posted a URL for directions for making Christmas stockings and I cannot find that message.
