I hope so.
Sometimes a typed reply can have a tone to them that isn't intended.
If I sounded ***** to you, I apologize!
Please forgive me.

That's my next project but right now I'm trying to make a sewing machine cut-out in the insulation and build up my sewing table surface.
Thanks for the laugh.

I've noticed alot of static near the needle after moving the quilt around. Not good for a computer sewing machine.
I took a dryer sheet and rubbed it around on the vinyl and on the spool of thread.
Seems to work, although I have to repeat it every 1/2 hour or so, depending on how much moving around of the quilt I do.

Good job, Karen-looks like it will work well. I haven't had the problem with static but will watch for it. Thanks for the heads-up. I still wish mine was wider (mine is just like yours only pink) but I use my ironing board to help support the quilt.

P.S. this shower curtain has weights in the hem. I left them there and that part of the vinyl hangs over the back edge of my table. It seems to help keep it laying flat.

If you can put a humidifier in the room, that should help.
I have a static problem with the mats on my Accuquilt and did not find that the dryer sheet method helped appreciably. Last time I dipped a washcloth in water, wrung it out, and put some liquid fabric softener (Downey) on the cloth. I rubbed it over the plastic and let it dry. That helped a lot and seemed to last.

I'll try that too if I get a chance to sit and quilt for more than 20 or 30 min. at a time...lol
