Love your videos. Not so fun story re: Best Press which I use all the time. Completed a binding on a quilt. Noticed a spot where the quilt didn’t get sewn in. Took the whole thing off. Re trimmed the whole quilt. Pressed the binding with Best Press. Looked great. Put it back on and was 3 inches short. Apparently Best Press will shrink fabric cut selvage to selvage but not length wise.It was an easy fix.Lesson learned. Thank you for your posts. Will try the straw thing.
A little off topic here…will you be offering those pillowcase kits come November? I want to start making those wonderful one-piece wonders you showed a few episodes ago. I also will definitely be ordering the Best Press. Thank you!
Do you have a favorite sewing machine needle that you use? If you were to quilt with a domestic sewing machine, what would you use? Thanks. Quilting a couple of years and still trying to find my niche.
If you're doing free motion quilting, I only use an 80/12 Jeans needle. Just because it's a jeans needle doesn't make it a crowbar- it just is milled stronger so that it takes the torque of the free motion. I like it for straight line quilting also. Again, not a huge diameter needle, just stronger. Hope this helps! M

❤❤ great intro! And the info was great too! Absolutely love the straw idea. Never would have thought I could avoid the bad words so easily🤣
I know it has been a year but sucking on a peppermint is great for a scratchy throat. Keep some on hand.
