You are very welcome! Good luck!

I have definitely mixed regular quilting cotton with batiks (and I believe that last time I did it, it was with Kona) and it worked well. Try using a stitch length of 2.5 or 3 & a 70/10 needle, then press well (no swooshing). Batiks have a tighter weave, but they can be mixed. Good luck!

Have a look at Karen Brown's series - the first 3 videos are critical in getting everything to line up. If you haven't seen her before, her tutorials are excellent. (Her series on color theory is LIFE CHANGING!)

I like tools that make the parts of sewing I don't enjoy faster... But otherwise, I agree! I made these a while back. Handy to have pins stored right inside them.

That's so something I would do!😆 Hope you didn't hurt yourself!

Aw, that's too bad. Are there no other longarm quilters in your area?

We're very excited about this contest... many more to come!

Cute! Finally, a reason to make scrunchies. 😆

Love this! My mom gifted me a partially finished quilt top and some random Dresdens that my grandmother had made before she passed. I used them in a lap quilt for my mom and she loved it!

Truly gorgeous!

Thank you for sharing!

The bonus is that you support small, independent (typically women-owned) businesses! Find a bunch at ThimbleBin.com, but my faves are Love Notions, Patterns for Pirates, Ellie & Mac, Sinclair, and Made for Mermaids.

You don't have to buy one new, either. A good vintage machine can last decades!

I can't be trusted with tissue paper patterns. I prefer to sew with PDF patterns. I totally get why some don't want to bother taping together, but the fact that printer paper can stand up to my abuse is a big factor. 😆
