pucker-free applique

  I like  to make appliqued quilts ,i find they are the easiest to master but some time you can have a pucker and there is away to have a pucker free applique place stabilizer beneath the foundation or if you are hand appliqueing put the stabilizer under your pattern piece that your going to attach to your foundation then do your applique with out worry. 
 I hope this helps the beginner or the seasoned sew-er.

Mothers day

                          
       Mothers day will be here before you realize it,may i give you some suggestion.
If your mom like to sew she might like a new sewing box, maybe some fabric for her stash,
        Now if she like to garden a flat of her favorite flowers,or some new gardening tools.
        or just think about what she is interested in mom are not hard to please they just want to know you pay attention to them when they hint : )

Bobbin 's

                    I'm in the process of updating my sewing room and i found a bobbin winder as you know it is a big hassle to stop in the middle of sewing to refill your bobbin this prevents that process its a stand alone machine,its compact for easy storage, you can use battery's or electricity .fills any bobbin with a center hole.  

Books

Have you ever wished there were books on fancy sewing well there is,

You can find it at most stores than sale sewing notions.

The best thimble i have found is a lather one with a small medal insert.
