Hi everyone! I have been hosting a block swap for the HGTV BOM Strolling the block quilt. Each member has made 12 blocks, sent them to me & expects to get one of each back (12 blocks). Unfortunately, we have lost a member...so, we need a sub. If anyone is interested in joining in, and is...

Just a few weeks ago one of you very kindly posted a source for fabric with US Military Motif. I thought I'd saved the site, but I goofed. Tried searching Google but couldn't' get in. If anyone can update me on this, I'd appreciate it very much. TIA, PAT in VA/USA

What do you think of this machine?? &pid=02019233000&vertical=APPL Larisa, in the market for a new machine

I've been "gone" for two weeks following two spectacular computer crashes. Did your computer ever rattle, sigh and die? My Big Mac just gave up the ghost and refused to be resuscitated. Did you know you can get rctq withdrawal pains? Yup, you can. After taking Big mac to a reputable repair...

Jan, Looks good! I've found that I don't always get on well with mine (came with my Pfaff). I seem to move my quilt a lot (hm - maybe I need to stop and reposition more often - NAAAH!), and I get it stuck on the edge of the extension table - more so than on the sloping corners of the sm. Oh,...

Well just got back from the meeting. What lovely quilts! There were 27 people who participated. I didn't win anything....and I am so alright with that. :) I was just terribly glad to be included. I did receive many compliments. There were four categories. WOW!, Viewer's Choice, Best Use of Color,...

I am almost sure that RCTQ has or knows where there is good information on different types of Sewing Machines. I think I want to get an embroidery machine. Which one would you recommend. Don't want anything too fancy, just want to do some labels, and embroidery in the borders of...

I have been working on a wallhanging for my sister-in-law. I'm actually really proud of it. The center is cream on cream. Today, as I was quilting it I found a SPOT. I haven't the foggiest idea what it is! It is a gray smudge. Maybe a pencil smudge (although there were no pencils around!)? ...

I had decided my new machine would be a 6500 but then I started to dither - actually telling the shop and spending all that money...... the decision had been made but the implementation stuck! Then 5 minutes ago a big van drew up outside the house and DH appeared carrying - guess what - yes IT. My...
