Patchwork & Quilting ... Welcome to the Darkside / Feets!
« on: September 03, 2020, 19:30:02 PM »
Sorry to be a pain, ladies. Are any of these a quarter inch foot or a piecing foot or any of the feets you told me to get for quilting?

I touched on this in the Today thread but I don't want to risk another digital leg-slapping so I'll ask about it here.

Has anyone used these:

Jaybird Sidekick Quilting Ruler

Or perhaps indeed any of this style of ruler. I get the feeling they're all made with a specific block pattern or element shape in mind with the idea that using a particular ruler creates elements that go together to form one complete block?

Have I got that right? Your advice would be most welcome and gratefully received.

Hi, I'm new... / Hello from Glasgow
« on: July 27, 2020, 15:00:48 PM »
Hello there, from a very rainy Glasgow.

My name is William. I've been into sewing on and off since I took it up as a hobby in my 20's. I do furniture restoration as well.

I got a call from my sister a while ago saying that, due to ill health, she was having to give up her little sewing business. It was nothing major; just a little side interest making things she could sell at car boot sales and craft fairs. She asked me if I wanted my machine back and it was only then I remembered I had given her mine ages ago. So, being a big brother, I did what big brothers do and took my machine back and made off with about ten grands worth of fabric for absolutely nothing. I feel a bit guilty because some of it goes for £30 per metre.

Anyway; I'm more into decorative stuff and upholstery rather than clothes and I admit I'm a bit of a lurker so I'll no doubt benefit way more from your posts than you will from mine. If this introduction goes for much it should demonstrate what I mean.

Thanks a lot,

William.
