Not sure which of the subforums "Quilted Felting" belongs in, much less Art Quilting that incorporates polymer clay...so I will try here! In some ways, felting - be it by hand or by machine - is rightfully an embellishment. But at times what I am doing is creating cloth, which is then quilted...

I am free motion quilting a king size cotton patchwork quilt on my vintage Featherweight. The thread is a 40 weight polyester embroidery thread, and I am using new embroidery needles, size 11 and 12. Even after putting in a new needle, I can sew for a few minutes, and then I get a shredded top thread...

DH bought me a Babylock Quest last year. I've never been able to bond with this machine but I can't sell it-nobody is willing to pay what I did, and I got it at a show for a great discount. I'd love to be able to either fall in love with it or move on but I can't afford it unless I sell...

Hi! I used a glue-resist and hand-painted some lovely and lively pieces! Now I want to use them in an art quilt BUT they are so "dull" comparted to the commercial prints I chose. I wanted my hand-painted pieces to stand out but I think they will be lost. How do I brighten them up, or how do...

I too am a beginner and I investigated sewing machines sites for weeks and weeks (if not months) before deciding on the one that would do for me. I was looking at the prices of course but above all my machine had to have dual voltage and that immediately narrowed my field. I remember being totally surprised...

Hi Quilnan, that's it I think that Krylon Fixatif, it definitely rings a bell. Shipping aerosol cans to this island should not be a problem, they are thousands shipped over here all the time to supply stores like Ace. I guess you're right: in the islands one gets inventive and creative simply...
