I'm sorry to be posting too much, but this is time-sensitive. My daughter and I are wish granters for the Make a Wish foundation, and we have a wish party tonight for a little boy who's family doesn't speak English, only Spanish. So how do you say

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I can't find it, so here goes: When I bought my Brother machine, the dealer told me that she never hooped the fabric, just the stabilizer, no matter what. That works ok for me most of the time, but tut

I have fallen in love with ITH bags, and also KAM snaps. Now I see several bags with "tuck locks" and when I look for them to purchase online, the descriptions always say for leather purses, and they are on the pricey side. If you use tuck locks on f

My daughter found this, and was hoping it was an embroidery file. Unfortunately, it is a computerized quilting pattern. Is something like this available in an embroidery file? Thanks so much.

Thanks to all of you kind people for wishing me a happy birthday last week. This is the first time I've been on Cute in several weeks. It was heartwarming to see birthday wishes. None of you know me, and still you took the time to send good wishes. I

I have a Brother Innovis sewing/embroidery machine, and was told by the dealer several years ago that it was ok to use the same thread in the bobbin as the top, instead of using special bobbin thread. But yesterday, I took my machine in to a different de

I don't post much, but here goes: I teach a math class of 11 high school students, and because of job changes, this is probably my last class to teach every day. So, I'd like to make them each something special but I don't know enough about their cul

My kids are grown, and we don't have any grandchildren (yet) but I wanted to share something both my daughters have said that they want to do when they do have kids--instead of buying a lot of gifts, they want to do this: 4 gifts--one you like, one you

I've made this crayon roll, which holds a box of 16 crayons, for my hunting-obsessed grand nephew. These are so quick--they're not ith, but made on the regularly sewing machine. My first time, I was able to make 3 in less than 30 minutes, except for h

Is there a free design out there that is just a round buttonhole? I need to make eyelets in some fabric, and I didn't want to switch to my sewing machine. I'm looking for one that has an opening about 3/8" of an inch, or about 1 cm. Thanks in advan
