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

It may have been true at one time, but I think now days, there isn't enough power in the magnets that are made to use on your sewing machine that they will do anything to your machines insides.Deborah W

I just found my packet of used 45m rotary cutting blades and would like to try to sharpen a few of them. Has anyone had success with sharpening? I saw an ad for a machine but at $70.00 I could buy alot of new ones. I have tried the $16.00 one but without success. Just wondering. :?:Deborah W

I was so hoping for a less expensive way to get more of this stuff rather than having to buy a spray bottle each time I ran out. And they also have a new UNScented, so if you didn't like any of the scents they offered, or didn't want any scents in your quilts, you can now get it unscented.

If you look on Amazon, they have the Best Press for a lot less than I've seen anywhere else.

Margo, that is the kind of seam ripper I have too. Love it. One of the kids gave it to me in my Christmas stocking a few years ago. I still don't know which kid. But I'm thankful. With that, a good pair of tweezers, and my good glasses, frogging is easier :lol: :lol: . Hopefully it isn't black fabric like the last quilt I did. :cry: :cry:

Margo--I will second the surgical seam ripper. I'm considering purchasing a second one, one for the sewing room, one for the hand work corner. I have everything else I use regularly at different stations in duplicate or even triplicate. I love the hemostat more than tweezers for pulling out the bits of thread. I actually "stole" mine from my son's tool box, much less expensive at the auto parts store than at a fabric shop if they carry them.

Thanks for the tip about exchanging the blades. Since I haven't purchased my surgical seam ripper yet, I did not know that the blades were replaceable. I want to get the one that comes with a blade cover, because the blades are very sharp. This tool would make a great gift for my quilty friends--hopefully, none of them are reading this blog post.
Speaking of great gifts, for Christmas, one of my quilty friends gave me a Scissor Spot™/Pin Place™ magnet that attaches to my sewing machine via a suction cup. It took a little while for me to get used to using it, but now I love it and don't know how I lived without it. Check it out here http://www.blue-feather.com/scissorspotpinplace.html
