Great accurate detailed instructions! Nice way to welcome Newbies. Thanks, Rita.

1. Click 'Post Reply'.
2. Scroll down to 'Optins/Upload attachment. Click 'upload attachment'.
3. Click 'Choose File'. From the drop down box choose a photo from somewhere on your computer and press 'Choose'.
4. Click 'Add the file'. This takes a minute or so.
5. You will then see a box with the file number in it and an option to 'Place in Line'. Place your mouse curser where you want the photo to go on your text and click 'Place in Line'.
6. When you have finished your message, check it in 'Preview' and then click 'Submit'.

Hope that helps.

If you click the preview button, then you will be able to see your post as it will appear on the forum, which is useful for proof reading (and also means that your post doesn't get lost in the ether, if you should click the submit button at exactly the same time as someone else - this has been known to happen )

Another thing, you can only post a maximum of 3 pictures per post, if you have more you will need to start a second post.

Yes please. When you post a reply press the upload attachment button . Browse for your picture then upload. Takes a while . ThEn place in line tab

I can if you tell me how! new to the techy side of things.

hi Prilili, welcome to the forum. How about a photo of your quilt? We love photos here.

The article I read some time ago ( not sure which magazine) used a lite tulle over the top which ws then sewn down. I personally cut up the bits, laid them on my batting (which holds them well if its cotton) and sewed them lightly down free motion and then did my thread art on top. you get a little more texture that way and I liked how it came out. of course, it was supposed to be a little furry...it was of my shih tzu.

Susan that really gave me a belly laugh, thanks!

Lotti I am sorry to hear that but hopefully you will be okay tomorrow. A handful of epsom salts in the bath is good too - but too late tonight.

So just how big is a scrap worth saving? This BOM has lots of scraps, tiny scraps. Anybody want them?

My DD just sent me this cartoon. She knows me well.

I'm actually very happy you repeated and provided the links for all three pets, no matter what search I did, it did not want to find Nr 3 for me... With your link, all I had to do was 'click'


Thank Rita, I was feeling much better today, but driving 2 1/2 hours to Montreux, walking around a drafty old castle for four hours at chillon, and then another two hours of drafty castle with lots of stairs on the way home at gruyeres, plus the drive home again with quite a bit more traffic didn't do me much good...
Had a nice hot bath to unwind those muscles, now in bed with a painkiller and arnica, plus all the other stuff, so should be alright tomorrow. Some people never learn! But we had a really good day out, and my Indian colleague saw lots of new things and has pictures to show and stories to tell his kids when he gets back to Pondicherry. Worth everything!

sorry if I repeated Rita's information. I sometimes don't read a thread far back enough

You are welcome Lotti, I actually didn't know either so I have some catching up to do too. Hope you are feeling better today?

And check out Gail hunt's method...

I think I've seen her do this tree before


Tank you, Rita, for showing me that some of the simply quilts episodes are available on you tube, never thought to check, and had never seen one before!
A lot of catching up to do!
