I saw this & I thought you may be interested! / Re: 20% off everything at Textile Express (not to be confused with Textile Centre)

As it happens, FedEx appeared at my door earlier with a curtain track for my bedroom window. The swatch I sent for was for curtains for that window. The price was very reasonable but with the 20% off..............I've got to make a .........decision

The email also says that the shop floor won't be re-opening until October. Good thing you hadn't set off, @Acorn.

I recently registered with Textile Express so I could get a free fabric sample. I just received the email below. There is nothing to indicate from the main website there is a sale but if you put in the code, I presume anyone could get the discount. I just re-read the blurb. Perhaps the site will change at 5pm today. Get in there first, folks.

Thank you from all of us at Textile Express!
The last few months have been hard for everyone as we all try and adjust in these strange times. All the team at Textile Express would like to say a big Thank You for your support.

From 5pm today we will be offering 20% off all stock items until 9am on Tuesday morning 01/09/20.

The good news is as a subscriber to our newsletter you can start to shop the sale straight away using the discount code BANK20. This is a great advantage in our stock only sale as some items will sell out.

I use scalpels a lot in work. You can make a terrible mess of almost anything.

...or anyone.

There is a member on Pattern review who linked to a video she made of her sewing space. It is a master of organisation.

I love this woman! I too can avoid prison due to a tall, narrow Ikea Billy bookcase in my sewing room. Astounded at her lack of fabric stash.

This is one of the parts of the Knitting and Stitching Show that I enjoy most. It's so different and so far beyond anything I could ever create.

Me too. I might not want to own any of them but I am fascinated by what people come up with.

Hi, I'm new... / Re: Greetings from Manchester

Welcome to TSP.

Oooooh, carpentry. You could build your own sewing tables and storage units. I say tables plural because if you don't have more than one machine now, you will by the time TSPs have enabled you. We'll give you some time to settle in though.

Watch out for the Darksiders though.

You'll be adding patchwork, quilting and appliqué to that list of yours.

I resorted to using an online calculator. Saves on madness.

I’ve bought from Dunelm and use their underlay table protector underneath. However I find both slip around and I’m constantly straightening it. I only have the one table so it’s in constant use. I would like to devise a way of clamping the edges so it doesn’t move.
