WOW! Some really great ideas have been shared by all here! Thanks to everyone!
*4U all!
Good idea!
Gals, you can trick your machine into thinking it's treaded by threading it all the way except the needle then tape the end of the thread to your machine to keep it from flopping around.
Thanks for this tip, but my machine don't stitich without the thread, so I will use Martine's way.
Merci! Great idea; will try it soon. *4u!

My machine won't stitch when it's not threaded. So I stitch it with thread - the way you described it - and tear along the stitched line. The thread then comes off easily.
Wish mine wouldn't, hee hee hee. Top thread breaks, she's done, but she'll sew without any bobbin thread all day. Ask me how I know, hee hee hee, she said my FSL was done, hee hee hee. Hugs, Marji
Yea, my machine will sew without bobbin thread too - until the top thread breaks. I wish it wouldn't as I have had some projects that the machine said were completed and they weren't!!
I do this on puffy foam as well...great ideas shared here..I have been doing this for a long while now...try the puffy foam too!* They taught this on emblibrary too when I first started buying designs...
I will give it a try. You could use the puffy foam with the bookmarker idea. Thanks
for the card makers amongst us you can use this idea to make a bookmarker simply "sew" a perforation line about one inch from back right edge of the card and put a design onto it. it then becomes a nice gift as well as a card. the recipiant simply tears it along the "sewn" perforation line
thanks for this one
Great idea I will pass this idea on to my daughter who is into card making
Sounds like a winner to me NMM. What do they say"Necessity is the mother of invention. U need so u find a way. *4U
GEE that is a wonderful idea!! And IF it is a complex cut out you could always stitch it on freezer paper and then iron that on the fabric b-4 you cut it out!!!:)
Freezer paper irons on? Wow, who knew that! Uh, you, obviously, Barb, thanks! Hugs, Marji
Super cool idea!! Thanks so much for sharing! Great way for using up scrap paper, and you can save the 'paper' design for the next time you use that particular applique, too. Wow! Hugs, Marji
WoW that is great i was just thinking when one of the clubs is having a sale of any kind they all phone me & ask if i will make them tickets.I sew on lines on my sewing machine with NO thread On linned paper & wow there free tickets!!!
When I was teaching I would do this with designs for the kids to learn how to cut 0n the line. Thats a good idea. Thanks
