I did not use a stabilizer, nor a hoop. Just be cognizant of the tension of your stitches.

I recently purchased a Bernina. How do I receive a Bernina $100 Rebate certificate form? The machine I had been using is a real workhorse - but 30 years old! Watching Alex’s videos and the ease and beauty of her Bernina made me decide it was time for a new machine. Love the videos - I’ve learned a ton! Thank you.

Alex, I buy those gorgeous fat quarter bundles and keep them together on the shelf. I don't have a plan for them when I buy some of them. How do I approach coming up with a quilt idea? Should I break up the bundle and put the fat quarters in with their like minded color groups? I realize there is no quick or easy answer but your thoughts would be appreciated.

What a great question - I believe we all do the same thing! It is brilliant marketing - right? I too purchase bundles not having any idea what to do with them. We had a Marsha Derse bundle in the TQS store that I am still kicking myself for not getting. It is like they are beautiful floral arrangements. LOL I leave them bundled and view them as art. THEN when an idea strikes me I will break it. It is almost a spiritual moment for me - lol! Again, wonderful question...........I'm smiling

Alex--First of all I want to say THANK YOU for all of your lessons throughout the pandemic. It has saved my sanity!! My question is about bobbin thread. As you suggested, I have been using the 80wt from your shop. At some point it occurred to me that you often make art quilts that will not be washed over and over. Would you recommend this thread for quilts that will be used, washed, loved, etc?

Alex and Ricky are still in Dallas taping for another day so she probably won't see this.
