Hi guys! I'm around too, but I'm a lurker on all the lists I belong to so I probably won't post much. I have a six year old daughter too, though, and am doing...

I'm in the process of teaching a handful of girls at my church to sew and quilt. They are about 9-10 years old. Our Quilts for kids group helped a boy scout...

No, my machine doesn't have a speed control. I wish it did. Which models have that wonderful feature? Mine is a heavy duty White that the speed depends on...
Sarah - I have a BabyLock Esante (embroidery/sewing machine combo) and a Viking MegaQuilter which both have the speed control slide/knob. My trusty, dusty...
Well, I also am a lurker. I joined because I have 10 yo, 6 yo, and 4 yo daughters, and I want to share my love of quilting with them. I've managed to teach...

Not a quilting questions, but it is sewing related. I'm wanting to make felt christmas stockings for the kids to decorate for craft time in Sunday School. I'm...
Sarah - I've used elmer's glue on felt and it worked fine except it dried really stiff. I did several small ornaments (2"-3") so there was glue pretty much...

Hi all - I have the new group up and running. It is QuiltingandSewingwithKids. Kind of long, I know - but, on my husband's suggestion, I went with clear...
