Thanks Polly. Someone is bound to remember the site.
I put off hemming jeans until DH starts rolling the
hems up like he is a kid of the 50's again. His
hinting is anything but subtle.

HOpe to have good news about the house. (actually
it is the close for the house we are selling and we
are moving back to our desert house) It will be the
first time I have a dedicated sewing space since I was
a teenager. I have always liked sewing in the midst of
everything but this room is off the living room so it is
close and has a bright morning sun. DD has been living
in that house full time since June. She is threatening
to get an apt. when we move back. I just smiled and
kept my mouth shut. If she does that who am I
to stop her LOL

Gee, Taria, we must have found a great price because my notes say I haven't
bought any needles this entire year. If someone doesn't remember our site,
I can go look back through my 05 notes. If you want a needle that you don't
have to think much about, the green band Schmetz seems to do very well on
just about everything. I do change over to a tough one if I am Forced to
hem jeans and might, maybe, change to one with a long scarf if I'm using a
fussy metallic. And marvelous big huge best wishes for the escrow goings
on. Polly [the numbers on the Schmetz 'quilting' needle packs say 130/705

I am trying to remember the link for the good prices on Schmetz machine
needles. Anyone have it handy?

While we are talking needles what do you use for machine quilting
and why? Type and size. Do you use different ones for poly and
cotton?

I have a couple of boxes of universal 80's that I use as much as I can
but they are not always great for free motion work.

We are in the last week of escrow if everything falls into place. Thursday
the big move day. Please cross your fingers and muster up
any good thoughts and prayers that things go smoothly.
I just might unearth a machine soon!
TIA,
Taria
