We had thought about whether it was worth a day out of…

Great review Sylvia – wish I could have gone. Did Sarah enjoy herself?!!

Thanks Abigail. Yes, I think she did. She could not believe how many people were there and how fabulous the quilts were. I am thinking of taking her along to see Harrogate next month as well. We will turn her to the quilty side before much longer.

Val Brooks wrote a new post, Self-threading Needles 8 years, 5 months ago
Dread having to bury all those threads after quilting? A self-threading needle will save you loads of time and it simply won’t be the chore it once was.
A ‘self-threading needle’ has a cut made in the top o…

Use this all the time

Great idea! I currently use my large eyed gold plated cross stitch needles as they are a bit easier to thread.
-
Personally I found these would shred the thread more often than not when I used them. I am however the pleased owner of some Spiral Eye needles which work in a similar fashion (without the shredding) and they are excellent.

There are a good few Professional quilters on the site and who are doing blogs so I would think there will be plenty of information on ‘how to’ on this topic. I certainly intend to address it.

Thanks for visiting and commenting Carol. I am very happy that I wrote all this down because until it becomes second nature to me it is great to be able to refer to it – rather than having to figure it out every time!

After using cheap starch I also have tried Best Press. I love it and although more pricey that supermarket starch it does last along time

Pleased you agree Sarah

A positive result. One of those things you see and hear about but reluctant to buy in case of wasting money. You’ve put my mind at rest and shall buy in future. Great review and write up.

Thankyou Sharon

I love Best Press, I use it all the time. I especially love the rose scented one, but it does leave a scent in the fabrics so I also have the unscented one to use when making things for my husband or son as they may not appreciate the smell of roses 😉

Is it readily available? I haven’t seen it in any shops.

Yes Helen…try Amazon
