I like to use my rotating cutting mat to make HST's, but it doesn't always want to swivel when I need it to. Watch this video to see an easy solution to this problem.

Do you have carpet in your sewing room? Do you have a hard time picking the threads off the carpet? Does thread get wrapped around the roller head of your vacuum cleaner and you have to cut it off with a scissors? Well, watch today's tip for an easy way to remove thread from your carpet and save yourself the trouble of a vacuum roller brush wrapped up with thread.Quilts of Valor I longarm quilted in January for the Sugar River QOV Group.This video shows how to use the Bohin Machine Needle Threader. If you don't have an automatic needle threader on your sewing machine or it doesn't work very well, this is a great alternative. It works on any brand or model of sewing machine. I've seen it used on a Singer featherweight and it works very well. I also used it on my longarm sewing machine today just to try it out - it worked great on that too. I hope you enjoy this video. You can purchase this item on my website. Bohin Machine Needle Threader Quilts I recently finished for clients.Happy Quilting Everyone!!During October, November and Early December, I was working very hard longarm quilting for my customers that needed quilts completed by Christmas. I then concentrated on getting the house ready for Christmas day company, wrapping presents, and getting my daughter, Allison, ready for her trip to London - she left the day after Christmas. The MH Highschool band is performing in the London New Years day Parade. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I will wish you a Happy New Year while I am at it. I will be back to longarm quilting for my customers, but I felt like I needed a little sewing time - So after Christmas I got back to working on a quilt I am designing for Quilts of Valor. Please enjoy the document I have put together showing part of the process. Here are pictures of some of the quilts I have completed for my clients.Here are some photos of my tree peonies this year. |

I know some of you ladies said you could not watch a facebook video I posted about how to use pool noodles and wood dowels to sandwich your quilts. Well here is another video I found that uses the same principle, using 1 x 3 boards instead of the pool noodles.
