subtle ... got it ...

blergh, I have a cold and won't be able to sing nicely. I'll just play the harp then.

Nooo Non subtle! xD
I wanna make a big deal about it! :lol:

Umm... I dunno what I can do to make it more obvious I'm Dance :lol:

well, maybe if you posted every time you posted somewhere that you are dancing when you talk or like "as the interim goddess of dance" or something ...

Could do...
~takes a bow~

mrph ... now that I have talked about it in another thread, I FINALLY have sewing bug and so I have to go work on the quilt I started last year.

Crazy can quilt . . . I'm so envious...

it's basically just sewing ... LOTS of sewing ...

*Stalks in gumbling about fireworks*

Still. I can't even sew.
...
Even if I could, our sewing machine is brokeded.

HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I JUST figured out how to use my sewing machine. I feel dumb that I had to watch a video.

it's weird not sewing by hand ...

Dude.
I can't even think about sewing by hand.

why not?

I know I have trouble sometimes. my fingers cramp up and stuff. it's annoying.

crazy can make stuff for my dolly? :D

Naaah, I'm joking xD

what kind of stuff? I used to make Barbie clothes when I was 8.

I can't sew, period.
If I sew by hand, it usually looks like one of those kindergarten things, pull the yarn through the holes.
I cannot sew. I'm barely adequate, though, if I use the machine.

I'm getting a large Ball Jointed Doll
:P
A fair bit bigger than a barbie Xd

I'm knitting her stuff, sewing sill be for when she arrives and I can measure her

properly measuring and cutting are the most important parts most of the time.

I let my son help me use the sewing machine earlier ... I'm gonna be plucking those threads out of my blanket all day tomorrow before I can sew it properly ...

But the batting. How do you sew in the batting? Do you cut individual pieces and sew them into each little part of the quilt, or is the quilt more like a sheath for the batting?

well, right now I'm working with fleece, so I'm not worried about it. but I think the next one I make which will need batting it'll be two quilt "sheets" with the batting in the middle, and then some decorative stitches to bind the two sheets together and lock the batting in place :yes:

Mm.
We sell polymer quilt batting, and cotton batting. I keep staring at it, wanting to make quilts.
For me, the primary thing is that I don't have time. I'm not so much concerned with lack of ability. I figure if I keep to simple squares, then I should be able to make a fairly nice, serviceable quilt for my bed.

the one I'm working on is triangles but the next one will be squares. right now I sew a triangle to another along one side then sew those to another triangle made of 2 then I have 1 large square that has 4 different pieces of fabric on it. it's pretty time consuming.

Also it can be expensive getting enough cloth.

Woah, this thread still lives?
:' O

This thread never died...

~happy smile~

we have always been here and always will ... allllwaaaaaysssss ...

lucky for me so far my mother keeps giving me fabric. she is SUPPOSED to be making a quilt too so she buys all kinds of scrap material and then decides she doesn't really want to use it so she gives it to me. I have more than enough to make a quilt. I'll just have to buy more thread and then the cotton batting ... except for the one I'm working on. I'm gonna need to buy a bunch of fleece for the back side of it.
