Last night I sew the binding on my granddaughter's birthday present quilt. So right then the best tip was to wrap the binding(all 6 meters of it)around an empty paper towel roll cartridge to hang around my neck with string, no more tangled mess all over the place.

Try wetting the eye of the NEEDLE instead of thread and wet your fingers (just lightly) behind the needle with saliva .Thread simply is sucked through the eye.Haven't needed a larger eyed needle since I learned this. Sorry, this was supposed to add to an earlier post here about tips.

Gal, Your views are just as mine. I too love this new Quilting media,where I can look at other quilters who face the same problems as mine and get them solved by helping members. Really I am lucky to be a member of this great group of ever helping hands. :thumbup: :thumbup:

I just thought of another great tip I got here: cutting the tips off triangles before sewing them together. I never knew that until I started the Farmers Wife Sampler Quilt--so many triangles!! It really makes it easy to match them up to each other or to squares.

There are a lot of words that I don't know what they mean, at least you asked! I keep living in ignorance
