TIP OF THE
MONTH:
Before basting your quilt
top and batting, remove the creases from the batting. Use a blow dryer or tumble the batt in your
dryer.
Alcohol prep pads can be
used to clean a sticky sewing needle.
They are also good to keep around for your pricked fingers!
Pipe cleaners are
wonderful for cleaning your machine of all that fuzz! Cut them to various lengths and try in your
bobbin case.
A 3-ring binder is very
handy for keeping a lot of your sewing tools.
Keep templates in clear page protectors; file all your needles in the
clear divided pages. Its easy to mark
and label on these pages. The binder
takes up a lot less space and looks good on a shelf where you can grab it
quickly.
