Trashbagquilter — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 21:05:20 GMT

Can anyone tell me if there is an index for the DVD set that I can print out? I am finding the writing on the back of the DVDs very small and difficult to read and would love a list to look through when looking for a particular article. I now have the full set but some of the earlier ones don't have a list of topics on the back.

NEW to Board

Quilter60 — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 12:41:35 GMT

Hi, newbie here, is there a reason I can't get into the other forums?? Who can I contact because I can't seem to get into anything.

Introduction.

DragonSewer — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 17:23:43 GMT

Hello all,

My name is Jodie, I am 33 years of age. I have recently aquired a sewing machine from my second cousin. I have played with it some and its not as intimidating as it looks :)

Most people don't think I would be good at sewing with or without a sewing machine since I am legally blind and VERY nearsighted. In fact I scared most people when I took up cross stitching. Since I took up cross stitching I have fallen in love with sewing in general. I am trying to learn all I can but not being able to read regular print books I am somewhat at a disavantage of learning.

Thus my reason for joining this forum. I would love to learn to quilt and other stitching crafts and would love peoples help.

My reason for learning to quilt is this, there is a local charity that gives families of children in long term treatment at hospitals nearby a place to stay while their children are in treatment. I would love to create quilts for the families to either take home or to leave and pass on to another family. I also would love to make a quilt for the children in the hospital themselves. Currently a group of people in my apartment complex and I are making winter hats for the same charity.

I look forward to making friends here. and of course learning all I can.

Jodie

Sewing together small pieces of fabric.

Ylva S — Sat, 16 Jun 2012 19:43:20 GMT

Hi all...I am new to quilting, and I got myself a nice quite fancy sewing machine (Silver 9000E) with lots of stitches and feet and so on. I do not know if it is something I do wrong, or if the sewing machine is faulty or simply not set up properly, but when I try to sew together small pieces of fabric, the machine chews the fabric into the "footpad" sewing stitch after stitch on the others making a complete mess of the fabric...

Can it be that I have the tension too loose or tight, or is the needle too old? Is there something else I have not thought of...? Any help is greatly appreciated...:)

Many thanks,

Ylva in Inverness, UK
