This past year I have been buying up small hardcover notebooks. I will be making quilted covers for them, designed specifically for each recipient, to give this Christmas.

I do not watch Project Runnway due to all the drama.
If they would show just the process and final results, I probably would, but then it wouldn't make for good TV, would it?

I will be sewing for my grandbaby. Next to Jesus, she owns my heart. I have picked up an 18" doll and matching patterns for the doll and my grandbaby and I will be making the matching outfits. I said I would NEVER make another doll wardrobe, but for her, the moon is the limit.

Not only do I need this book for myself, but it will help when I teach the kids.

I just got my 25 years of Threads and the More Fabric Savvy book and I can't wait to see what I can learn.

All those curves!!! You have a goof eye for detail and wonderful sewmanship.

I wouldn't mind winning this. I could use the help. I have recently been asked by a local junior high school to help with costumes, PLUS I have a brand new grandbaby I want to create for.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE - Threads.

When cleaning, don't the beads come off? There doesn't seem to be anything to keep them on the trim.
It would have to be a real special garment to do this, like maybe a gown for a cruise!

A friend asked if I could fix the hood for her horse.
Of course I did, I could not refuse, but it was the strangest thing I ever did.

I too would like to know about zippers and linings. I have always had a difficult time with this.

TO Lorraine, you have to let the fusible interfacing cool before sewing. THis should help a lot.

Thanks for this. THis has always driven me up a wall. I could never get it to look right.

Sorry, can't choose just one. EAch one has their own tips and tricks that I love.

It is definately a bias binding attachment.
I use a Bernina and it is very close to the one I use. It is only missing the special foot and the screws to attach it to the sewing bed.

Thanks for the opportunity to help.

Love your tips and hints.

To finish all my UFO's and the ideas in my head.

I haven't been a subscriber for very long, only 3 years, but it was a difficult decision. I love them all. How about the one about fitting a pair of pants well.

This is so fabulous! THere are a lot of applications for this. I agree with sew4mary that it is more modern than traditional, but what a great idea.

Thank you for all you do. You are terrific!

Thank you for the wonderful instructions on the Hong Kong seaming. It makes for a beautiful piece.
I too would like to know if you have to make allowances of extra fabric because the piece is quilted.

I'm thinking (look out) this will be the extra special personal touch to my grandbaby's dedication gown.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
