Love all your hacking ideas. I'm a beginner quilter and still trying to get my quilting area set up. Having RA and waiting for spine surgery, hip and knee replacements, I often thought I wouldn't be able to get started but I've been watching Tiffany here on KZfaq since the beginning of this year. I've learned so much from all of you ladies and gents visually that I am excited about getting started. I appreciate everything each one of you share. We are definitely a community here, more than the one I live in, lol. I love the challenge and hope to grow. So thank you very much because now that I've found your channel as well I'm learning even more ❤

I've also used a Post-It note pad -- either the 3 x 3 or the 3 x 5 -- as a seam guide in place of a magnet. Just take the protective back off the pad and stick it to the sewing machine bed at your desired distance from the needle. The thickness of the pad then becomes the guide. I also use a carpenter's measuring tape (the kind that rolls up and the case clips to a belt) to help me measure my quilts. They're pretty rigid, they lock in place, and even the small ones go to at least 10 feet, so measuring a queen or king quilt is much easier.

1/4" Seam Guide Trick: go to the Dollar Store, and purchase a pkg. of the sticky felted furniture feet protectors... the one that is just a large square where you can cut to your own desired shape... or the multi pkg. which as long oblong pieces... I stick those onto my sewing machine plate right butted up against my 1/4" foot... the sticky pad is long, and extends towards me, giving me a longer area to butt up my fabric and run it along.

I do have a few problems with that 1/4” seam and have tried lots-of ways to help. I don’t like the little guard thingie in some 1/4” feet - so I’ve got some washes tape around (bought it because it was pretty! Not a scrapbooked at all!) and I’ll give that one a try - and I can just carefully slice the tape where it crosses my accessories box that is always attached. Another one for the binding - love the two you showed (I do hand bind😃) but sewing is so much faster for charity quilts. A very long time ago a very well known appliquer (she has to machine everything as she cannot do handwork) uses small drops of good old WASHABLE Elmer’s White School Glue! And then presses it to dry quickly. It’s fabulous and works like a charm. I’ve also used it in place of a certain very expensive glue for quilters and Elmer’s is cheap!!! Did you know that white glue is just starch and water? That’s why this one washes out - must use washable Elmer’s!!! Love all your videos!!💓💓
