Just wondering if anyone has made one and what is the recommended stitch length with which to sew the seams? My Janome is set at a default stitch length of 2.2. Is this O.K. or should I set it shorter? I also realize that shorter means using more thread but that is not an issue at all. Just...

I'm very sorry that I don't have time to read all of the messages that have accumulated in the past couple of weeks, but you know how that goes. g Ally is still here (you'll be hearing from both of us just now), though she's moving out of my house tomorrow morning to go party on the Strip....

TIME TO VOTE Well Ladies, I haven't heard from anyone lately to enter the contest, so while I found time to post this message, I thought I would end it early and get this thing going..I've got squishies to post and want to get these squishies out with them. Here are the categories: -Best...

I sent a meassage the other day and I didn't appear :( Janner Cornwall UK

I just posted a lot more pictures to my website: http://community.webshots.com/user/Coren920 For those that are wondering why wallhangings, take a look. I don't hang traditional quilts on my walls. If anyone has any fabric like the "sand" used on the Nativity quilt(in the embroidery file) I...

I am contemplating getting a serger, but don't know anything about them. Before making a purchase I'd like to know more about them so I can decided if I truly want one and which one I'd be interested in. Anyone know of some good web sources that would give me some basic info like the...

hi, I am new, love handcraft, sewing, quilting, maschineembroidery ect

I can finally,almost, read the computer screen now, and hope to get back to my quilts very soon. Three BsOM to do yet but I don't trust myself with the rotary cutter yet. However I would like to ask the Australians present where they get their patterns. I finally found someone in America who would...

Thank you all for the help... I am happy to say I now have a perfect 12.5 block :) I followed everyones advise, and I cut it to the measuremnts Anne suggested and voila perfect block :):):) Thanks again, and now I can do the happy dance...

The bobbin winder thingy on my featherweight doesn't turn. I'm thinking it might be the belt that needs to be replaced - perhaps there isn't enough friction to turn the bobbin winder wheel. The wheel is making contact with the belt, but just not spinning much. If it's not the belt, what else might...

I am looking for information on a good quilting machine brand for a novice quilter. I am willing to spend a good amount of money but I don't want to break the bank for something that is a hobby. Please make suggestions. Thanks!

On todays show they showed a quilt that had six pointed stars. Does anyone know what that pattern is called. Thanks in advance. Susan

I feel so accomplished. I made little stocking cover coasters for everybody with their name on them and fabric meant to be "theirs". One of our guild programs handed out a kit with everything for a "holiday" coaster and I actually did it. I made 9!! People really liked them. They realized that...

Sometime last year I thought I saw a batik fabric with hot air balloons on it. I wish I had bought some then, but now want it for a quilt. I can't find it by googling it, but I saw this one today on Big Horn's site, and it's called "blue...

I finally got photos back for my Jungle Songs wallhanging I made for my sister that was really wild. (She is more sedate and practical but I was too bored making something traditional for her Christmas present. She loved it!!) I got the pattern idea from a Quilters Newsletter Magazine in my big...

A couple of you have asked when I'd post my annual bought/used totals. I have been hesitant because I'm, well, embarrassed. From November 15, 2004, until the end of May, 2005, I was very, very, very good about not buying fabric (about 4 yards, all legal). Then while en route to the quilt shop to...

Thanks so much to the Scotland's Cheering Squad. I just have room enough for this beautiful bundle of patriotic materials to finish my quilting project. I am better able now to stand a bit longer to cut and sew. I know I have taken much time on this but I am dividing my strength between writing...
