I want to try to do multiple hooping to make a quilt. It seem that when I do embroidery with batting in it, even with a cutaway stabilizer, the embroidery takes up space and shrinks the fabric a little. I'm concerned about getting the merged parts to lin

I had a thread nest that pulled my inner hoop out of the outer hoop. Any suggestion as to how to realign the stabilizer back into the hoop? Of course, this only happens when I almost done with the design.

If you have a fabric that bleeds, will rayon threads absorb the color? I have a red sweatshirt that I was going to use some rayon thread on. While I don't normally prewash sweatshirts, I did this one and it bled. It is an 85/15 poly cotton so I w

I'm in search of pencil toppers. I could have sworn that I had some, but I can't find them in my files. I'm looking for some that are not holiday related or sports. Anyone have a site they know of?

I've been looking for a pattern for an old fashion type apron that you slide your arms into and crosses in the back. I have a friend that likes them best, but I haven't been able to find a pattern. Seems like I've been looking for a year!

Does anyone have a Bernina 580? My husband wants to get me a 880 for Christmas, but that really is toooo much machine for me. I'd never use some of the things it does. Besides, I don't think I could lift it up. Are there things you like or not
