The Old Stone Mill fabric sale is a great place to pick up quilt fabric. The usual price is $4 a pound. There are also fill-a-bag sales, notions, patterns, etc. I volunteer at the sale, just ask for Lisa.

Thank you! I'm in Western Mass. If you're close enough to Adams, MA, the Old Stone Mill is having their fall fabric sale October 11th and 18th from 10am to 3pm at 2A Grove Street in Adams.

Books, DVDs, Music CDs, Audio Books, Bake Sale, and more. Almost all books are $1 or $2!

I just learned that all seasons of The Great British Sewing Bee are now steaming on The Roku Channel. I imagine that there are commercials BUT you can now watch GBSB in the US!

Unfortunately, it's not streaming in the US. You would need to have a VPN or download it via torrent. There are 12(?) seasons and it's such a lovely show. I don't know why it's not been picked up to stream in the US.

Those other systems look very interesting. I found this discussion about Epson: www.reddit.com/r/budgetproj.... From the video, it appears to work the same way as Ditto. I'm not limited as to which pattern brand I use and I do like how I can move the pieces around in the software before cutting.

I managed to pick up a Ditto machine for only $15 on the last day of Joanne's. The machine/software isn't perfect but it's a joy to not cut out paper patterns. If you can find a place with a large enough scanner, you can scan your existing paper patterns and save them to PDF for Ditto.

If it's a water-soluble ink on cotton cloth, soak it in a bowl/sink of warm water with just several drops of baby shampoo. Let it soak for several hours. This method works for me every time.

Thank you so much for this great information!

Sewing brought me moments of peace through my Mom's short illness and death last year. Your quilted piece is beautiful and if your Mom enjoyed beautiful things, she would have been filled with joy and pride over the beauty that you've created.

Saw this photo in Harper's Oct. 2024 issue and thought "Cohen"

His name is Evan Malmgren and he is a writer and school bus driver in Wisconsin.

It looks great! How did you get the edges of the fabric within the cherries to not fray?

Great fabric choice!

Yes, a walking foot will make your quilt sewing much easier.

It's so delightful to immerse myself into another #MarthaGrimes masterpiece. Richard Jury and the whole cast of characters in his orbit (or is he in their orbit?) bring such warmth to usually dire circumstances.

I see flames and a pile of gold 🤔

Finally! Two weeks of Wimbledon then lots of sewing. I can’t wait. 🥂🍓🪡

Ah, it's great to find another of my favorite authors here on BlueSky. I've found that it's a nice place to visit.

Thank you! My next project is sewing tote bags so this knowledge will be useful.

What make and model sewing machine is it?

It may sound silly but is your bobbin with thread installed correctly?

Thank you for sharing this video. Do you mind sharing the name of the white layer under the fabric?
