I always wear glasses instead of my contacts for untacking - a couple of them have been very near my eyes and I've hit Hans (accidentally of course!) with them once or twice! :D

Yes you do have to be careful and NEVER un-tack next to your sewing machine, I had one of the tiny ends pop down into my bobbin race....urrrggghhh I nearly had kittens getting it out :shock:

Ooohh, thanks Izy - never thought of that! I did untack a mini quilt the other day right next to the machine - I won't do it again! I'll do it downstairs in the evenings - better to hit Hans than the machine! :D

I just looked on the leaflet that came with mine, and the website is:

thanks, shaverg, and lacelady for web addies :D

poor Hans, guess he gets to be the fall guy, lol. Well, after you see BW's suggestion, maybe you can make it up to him, lol! :wink:

Izy, everytime i scroll down on previous page, i see your quilt pics, and think, wow, don't remember which one that is, but isn't it pretty!
ooh, la, la!

Good advice about the removal, think I might go with nail clippers, like Loretta (?), brain fog, lol...it's early...
hubby hates it when I clip my nails.
He says you should keep them in a neat little pile, and transfer to garbage can.
Well, ok, never thought about it, till I married the 'big foot' with toenails the size of flying saucers, LOL!!! :shock: :roll: :mrgreen:

Izy

OMG QC you are such a star!! You make me laugh so much, I KNOW exactly where you are coming from with the flying saucers...and they certainly 'fly' along way from the clippers too...DO NOT ASK HOW I know this...p.s. they don't belong to me I might add :roll: :wink:

Never thought about using nail clippers, will have a go next time Loretta :wink:

That quilt was my first sampler quilt QC which I did alot by hand with embroidery etc.... :D

Mousie

Wow, Izy, even the gold, all along the blocks? That is go gorgeous! I might do a pillow that way! :D
but i have to perfect my embroidery first, yours looks machined. :thumbup:

I have a basting gun and its rack. Use it mostly for fixing paper labels to yardage in my stash, or to pieces of batting. Tried it for basting, but didn't like the staples getting in the way of machine quilting, and they do leave the sandwich rather shifty. Much prefer spray basting, then adding long stitches of hand-basting. Yeah, I know it's probably overkill, but it's what I need to do. :roll:

It was great to hold layers together when cutting a "Stack & Whack" quilt but too much hastle for other things.
