    The tip about threading ten needles, one after the other, and keeping them on the spool of thread - for hand quilting.

    That one blew me away. The Quilting Board is the nicest place to be.........it starts my day on the right foot.

    Couple of ounces of Vodka in a spray bottle of water for taking out deep set wrinkles.

    By the far my favorite tip is using Elmer's School Glue for basting and for applying bindings!!! I'm soooo in love with Elmer!! I love doing bindings since I met Elmer!

    Bookmarking/adding to favorites. I check this board on a daily basis. All the tips are #1 in my book.

    To be proud of my work. There are no quilt police. Be confident and try new things. There are lots of friends on this board who are happy to encourage one another.

    I agree: washable school glue basting.

    My first thought was using Elmer's Glue....not just for basting but I use it to help match those difficult seams. Everyone else loves to the Elmer's too.

    There are so many things that I have learned. Others have listed just about all of them. Thanks for posting.

    When you buy fabric, how much do you consider to be "a lot"?
