My new magnetic pin holder came and it's purple. It came with 15 pins and so I've tried to only use those pins for as long a time as I can before I open my new box of pins. I've already misplaced 3 of them. At this rate, I'll be forced to open my n

I feel as though I have reached a milestone, although it isn't earth-shattering. I use lots of pins when sewing. I use a magnetic pin-holder, and I've finally worn the finish completely off the top. Took years to do. So as a present to myself, I'm

Just wanted to say thank you to all those people who give great directions for projects or embroidery designs, or anything else on this site. I've recently bought a sewing pattern, and the directions were terrible. And if you go to that person's websi

I have forgotten where the best place online is to buy zippers in bulk. Can anyone help me remember? Thanks.

Fabric buyers--I found the greatest buys on fabric online at Hancocks-Paducah.com. The yard cuts were generous, and the price was terrific--I got 5 yards of fabric for $20.95, including shipping. Now I look there often.

I tried to make lemonade scones yesterday. My dough was a sticky mess, but I made a dozen lumps of dough on the pan. For some reason, I decided to sprinkle the tops with a tiny bit of sugar. They look terrible, but taste really good. Thanks for the re

I shared on here before about my first grandchild being born in May. Well, in our church family, another baby was also born in May--this baby weighed only 20 ounces, and had spent his entire life in the NICU. That baby passed away yesterday. I'm goin

I am so aggravated. I had made a big effort to not purchase designs from sites that might violate copyright, and i thought I had done that. I am kind of disgusted with myself that a site that I had just purchased a cute children's design from has blata

I have fallen in love with ITH zipper bags. I recently saw a tutorial about a bag, and the sewist used washi tape. I didn't even know what it was, but my daughter knew, and so I bought a small roll. I used it today, and I won't go back to painter's t

A few months ago, there was a post about favorite or classic recipes from different countries. I can't find it, even after reading the Q and A posts. I'm looking for the recipe of lemonade scones. They sounded so delicious, and now I don't know how

About the subscription prices for Cute--I used to have a subscription, and I let it lapse. So if I want to be a subscriber again, is it a renewal or a new one? Thanks in advance.

I have posted on here about my machine shredding thread and driving me crazy. So I took it back today, and they had me thread it and try a design there, and it worked perfectly! Brought it home and it is doing a great job. How silly do I feel! And I s

Have any of you had any experience with adult scoliosis? My youngest daughter, who is 26, has had moderate scoliosis since adolescence, but we think it has progressed to the point that it is impinging on nerves. She is in excruciating pain that goes fro

My Brother is still shredding thread, even after going in for service. It has a little over 10 million stitches on it, and I don't know if that's enough to be considered wearing out. Do any of you have to adjust the top tension? I've never done it b
