Shipping Query by
Sartorresartus
I've just been to a US site to purchase a 'gadget'. I've never seen
them in UK, so as it seems 'just what I want' and should be light to
post, I thought I'd present it to myself.
They suggest I get it shipped through a 'Get and American Address'
things called BONGO. I've never heard or seen...

Surprise and good experience. by
Pati, in Phx
As some of you know I not only teach at one of the local quilt shops,
I also do some of the store samples.
We got in a new line of fabric and a pattern that uses the panel and

Best source for foam? by
Jo Gibson[_2_]
Hello folks,
You've been ever so helpful lately with the ideas on yo-yos and pom-poms
that I thought I'd ask for help one more time. I want to make cushions
for our hard wooden chairs in the kitchen. I have some great fabric for
the covers, but know that if I use regular cushions they will be...

Do I dare to say that? Has anybody ever told you that?
And did you think, "Watch me" ?
Presuming myself to be a quilting teacher never crossed my mind. I'm

medicines you are taking, along with the dietary supplements, and over
the counter products, and have them come tumbling out of a storage
space when you open the door to access them. This scenario was what

Warning about an online store - update by

It was me who discovered it had been sent to Canada, after querying the
time it was taking to arrive in Scotland. Clearly, the shop did not
know that anything had gone awry, and the shop owner still insists that
she has NB, Canada on record and I still insist I entered United
Kingdom. For...

Problems with Bernina 440 by

Can anyone tell me if they had problems with stitch selection on the

up. There are others stitches that aren't correct too. I'm wondering

OT Underwear and clothes and frustration with clients by

A lass wanted me to make her a dress. After much conversation that was

She just would not understand that certain period gowns simply cannot be

Hi, I messed up a little five-inch heart and there is no fabric left
to replace it. It's for a baby quilt and I really want to have all
