Trish Brown
I've been trying for a while now to find some orange and black striped
stretch fabric. I'd prefer smaller stripes (say, 1/2" or smaller), but

I have a quilt top that I'm trying to save from a machine quilting
mistake, but I'm having trouble ripping out the stitches.
They're so closely spaced and tightly sewn that I can't get my seam

Hi, the new Liz again!
I have been cruising websites (what a lot of quilt stuff there is out
