Re: Book Giveaway: "Threads Sewing Guide"

It would be sew nice to have all the techniques in one place. No more wasted time searching thru all those other resourses trying to find something I read 6 months ago--or before. Kudos for giving me more time to sew!!

Re: Book Giveaway: "1,000 Clever Sewing Shortcuts & Tips"

I keep a notebook with all my projects listed. I first list the date, pattern number for that project. I notate any changes I made to the pattern and any specialty stitches or other embelishments I might have used. I also staple a snip of the fabric that I used to the page. If there were a lot of changes or notes, I photocopy the page and slide it into the pattern envelop. There have been many times I have wondered "what stitch did I use on that other project", "how much did I adjust the shoulder slope"? Now I can refer to my notebook and find the answers quickly. This has been a real time saver for me!
