Tips Worth Mentioning

Have ya'll discovered YouTube?  Of course you have.  You can find anything and EVERYTHING on YouTube.

Are you sad?  YouTube will make you smile:  Learn to Knit 

Can't sleep?  YouTube can either entertain you watching one of your favorite actors like Katherine Hepburn, or put you to sleep with soothing music.

Keep up with your favorite shows!  e-Bird commentary on 90-Day Fiance.  You don't even have to watch the show....e-Bird will sum it all up for you!

Likewise FaceBook is a wealth of information!  (Hide all the political stuff, that'll just drive you to drink!)  Here are a few of my favorites from each platform.

Facebook:

Turning narrow fabric tubes using an empty Aurifil thread spool.  HERE   This would have been so handy constructing Passiflora this past Christmas.  Look at those skinny arms!

All about bobbins:  The good, the bad and the ugly.  This post is specifically regarding Featherweight bobbins, but I found it helpful. The bottom line seems to be "don't buy cheap."

Finishing the quilt binding!  It drives me crazy!  I always manage to get it twisted up and then I have to employ Jack-the-Ripper.  Karen of Just Get It Done quilts makes it look easy.

YouTube:

The older we get, the smaller the eye on that needle!  Thread the needle using a toothbrush!
Here
is an alternative method.  Either way, no spit on the thread!  ick....


 

I didn't even KNOW I was supposed to clean my scissors!

 

 

 

 

An interesting method to mark quilt rulers to make cutting fabric faster and more accurate using Incredible Tape By Marathon Threads.  I found a similar product on Amazon.

 

 

Good quilt block pressing method.  I've seen a tailor's clapper used, as well.

 

 

 

You're welcome and I leave you with the beautiful music of Miss Cynthia Lin.
