Today’s Random Crap is different. I don’t feel like sharing links. Instead, I’m going to share a recent quilt. I have a friend who sends the best cards! A few years ago, I got a “You’re all that and a bag of chips.” I’m pretty sure my Christmas card had “fuck” in it somewhere. A…
Here we go. You figured out how to thread your machine, right? The bobbin too? Good let’s do this. I use white thread and a quarter inch seam allowance. My foot has a quarter inch guide, so it’s always pretty perfect if I sew straight. Remember to use the same seam allowance for the entire…
