Laughing Sisters Website by
Rachel Grier
Hello All
Does anyone know what happened to the laughingsisters.com website. I keep
getting a 404 error message. I had this site bookmarked because of the

Oh my gosh! by
SteveB
I recently bought a Singer 155 Walking foot machine with base and everything
that would come with it new except for attachments. I paid $250 for it. I
was ecstatic, wanting to use it for awnings I'm going to build.
I was cruising ebay, and saw one for $995 opening bid, and a $1200

I have been surfing for some instruction books on canvas sewing. I have

Hi folks,
Just for fun, my dear husband has made a "Concentration" game out of

Are they still sending these by email? I was signed up at one point,
then stopped getting email from them altogether, and now only seem to be
getting the sale notices (but not links to online coupons).

AK&DStrohl
I was just perusing the www.denverfabrics.com site and I came across a
fabric type that I had never heard of before. Silk Gazar. It looks almost
cloudlike. Can't tell if it is translucent/transparent/opague. Soft hand
or fimer/crisper?
Does anyone know?

More reasons to sew by
[email protected]
I was invited to a grown-up slumber party. I figured I'd best not
wear that nightgown which tries to strangle me as I sleep, so I ran to
the store, grabbed two sets of cotton knit pjs on the gallop, ran home,
flung them into a small bag.
The pj party was at a house on the water---big deck, great...

Hi, I was recently given a box with some very old tools for making fabric
covered buttons and beltbuckles. There are two types of buttons - one is

Is there such a thing as a "complete" kit, machine, software, frames, etc? by
Autumn
I am not interested in embroidering huge pictures. I would like something
that would put little things on shirt collars, cuffs, pockets, baby and
children's clothes. I am thinking absolutely nothing bigger than about 4-5".
Most things I would like to do would be little, 1"-2".
