        I've been quilting a long time and have many of the wonderful tools Dee discusses. However, I have not seen her "inexpensive" seam ripper that folds away into it's own case. Dee didn't mention the name of the maker.... I'd love to know so I can find and buy one..
        Thank you for a wonderful Saturday morning, Dee!

          I have the Straw needles in sizes 9 & 10. Will it be okay to use these as I do most of my applique by hand also. I do have some that are very hard to see to thread. I enjoyed the class very much today & I know I will learn so much. Thank you for teaching.

              The straw needles can be very difficult to thread. I use the Clover needle threader most of the time. I will try to remember to share that in an upcoming class.

                You can purchase this seam ripper at The Quilt Show Store. Go too thequiltshowstore.com, click on the link that says Facebook and YouTube Live Supplies and in the drop down menu from there click on Dee's Saturday Sampler and you will find it.

                  Dee - I just reviewed and tried your binding technique on my finished piece - corners and finishing technique - and it was great. Thanks.
