I will go see this one, it's just what I need. This site is using up a great dealof my free time. but it is not wasted time, as I learn many things every time I come on board.

Thanks to all you wonderful people.

They're carpet cutter blades and our members have cleaned out the supply all over the country. However, our local HF still had the carpet cutters for $3.99 which included two extra blades - still a good deal.

I have learned much here, but one simple thing that comes to mind is putting something white behind your machine needle when you are threading it. I have the auto threader on machine, but looks to me like it could easily break, so I thread by hand.
Putting something white behind needle really saves a lot of naughty words.

However, the greatest part of this forum for me has been the dear friend I have met. We have written back and forth for about 2 months and I even found myself buying fabric for her in her favorite color (pink), which I hate. I am very grateful for her, and of course, for all of you.

Finding SewBids.com where you can bid literally pennies and end up with a bolt of batting and cutters for the Accuquilt Go fabric cutter. It is a penny auction site especially for crafters and quilters. Not alliliated but I am one happy customer. ~Debi
