I recently bought a design from Stick-Ellie, and I really thought I could figure out the directions based on the great photos. Well, most of it I can understand, but I'm not sure on part of it. Can any Cuties help with translating from German to Engl

Another lesson learned--I have bought several designs from Embrotique, and love them. But, on ith project directions, they say to use Press 'n seal. I thought to myself "no way in the world will that stuff work". Well, I tried it today and it is won

I have a confession to make--I come here often and soak up the projects and hints and links to other things and wonderful stories, but I rarely even look at the free or new designs. I'm a member again, and I've never seen the adorable cheerful bluebird

I'm looking for tiny doll face designs, small enough so that several can be stitched in the hoop at a time. I have searched and come up with only 2" faces, and those are too big. I need them perhaps 1" tall for the entire face. Does any Cutie know w

Another episode in my goofy moments (since the recliner episode). While washing my hair, I put a glob of conditioner in my hand. Then, I flipped my hand over to get it on my hair. Didn't make it to my hair--it dropped, in one very icy glob, in the mi

Here's a funny for all of you. Yesterday, I had to have a procedure done to remove an embedded kidney stone. So I was still a little goofy earlier today. You know that funny movement we all do when we are putting up the footrest with the lever and lea

I had heard of the directions for sewing a pillowcase called a "burrito pillowcase" and I adapted it to make the cuff of it to be ruffled instead of flat. The directions are simple to follow, but if you choose to make it ruffled, please know that sewin

My daughter and I are volunteers with the Make A Wish foundation, and one of her "wish kids" is a 13 year old boy who loves video games. She asked me to make a zipper bag for him. What is a good design for a teen boy? I thought about the high top sne

May God help us all with the terrible attacks of the Syrian regime on their own people and now with the air strikes by the United States. Please let us join together to pray for wisdom for our leaders.

I just wanted to share a photo of what makes my heart light. Riley is 10 months old now, but these photos of her 9th month are so precious to me. Her mama is in the top left one. Grandma love is something else!

I learned a zipper trick online. Have you ever unzipped the slider right off the end of the zipper? Well, you can use a regular dinner fork and insert the slider face down between two of the tines. It holds it nice and steady so that you can feed the z

I don't know how many of you Cuties suffer with depression, but today it is really kicking my tail. I have chronic daily migraine and neuropathy in my legs which causes great pain when walking. I have't felt like sewing or embroidery in weeks. I try

I've read several posts on here about the loss of a precious life. I wanted to share one idea that I've used several times in my "circle". I've used a purchased throw (I keep several on hand and purchase them usually on clearance after Christmas)

I was reading some posts on a sewing forum, and one lady was talking about using cork fabric. She had some photos, and it looks beautiful. So I searched for cork fabric, and the first (and only) site that I looked at has cork fabric for $120 per yard!!
