Free Hot Pad tutorial



I just got a newletter with this free tutorial on making hotpads.  I know Tammy has been making some hot pads using a freehand quilting instead of the diagonals like in this tutorial.  I thought I would share.  Tammy, I'd love to see the hotpads you have made.

Glue Stick Zipper Tutorial

A link to the zipper tutorial.
I'm still having problems with moving the zipper 'handle' out of the way after sewing up to a certain point. Does anyone have any ideas? My sewing looks a bit crazy at the top because I can't move the handle (I know there is a different word for this!) down and my zipper foot can't get up and over it. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
PS - Tamara, thanks for hosting at your house today. I'm so sorry that we left without cleaning up. I hope the mess wasn't too bad!

Elastic Thread

Here is the link the where I got my huge spool of elastic thread.  If you want to try it out before you buy, come on over and load up a bobbin off my spool. 

Glenda's Bag Tutorial




Click Here for the written tutorial for Glenda's bag.  You can open it and print it. 
PS. I found that if I printed it directly from the page, it looked wierd.  If I download it and save it, then print it, it looks fine.  Don't ask me why.
