I'm doing a fringe design and I need to have more bobbin thread showing in back to snip it easily. Do I make the tension higher or lower on my Brother 2003D?

Advice please. I need a fusible stabilizer to go on the back of cotton. It will be a piece for a quilt. I can't find my notes for my favorite one that won't pucker/bubble after washing. TIA!

I'm going to make a microwaveable heating pad with rice in it. The one I own is made of a knit fabric. It's probably cotton. What fabrics have worked best for you?

Lets play, "How old is this yarn?" I found these unfinished booties in a box at my mom's house. The knitting was complete and all I had to do was sew the seams. I will add a tie and save them for a grandchild. Here's the kicker, my mom doesn't remem
