Thanks Rita! Many eyes help catch things that others miss.

Actually Kathy, there are a few from the 1500 series that have not been updated either. I sent an email to tech support yesterday, coincidentally, because I was looking for something I couldn't find.

Louise - You can always search shows to find a topic. Put your mouse on "Watch" at the top of the page and a pop-up menu will appear, then select "Search Shows". On that page there is a search box for you to type in any key word that you are looking for. The results will list the shows, plus on the right side column of the list is time that the topic is found in the show. When you go to watch the show, put your mouse along the "time bar" and move it to the right until you see the time for the topic to begin.

However, I just did a search for Barbara's show and found that the search list has not been updated to include the 1600 series. I'll let John and Bob know about this. Thanks for bringing it up!

Just had a chance to watch the show and loved the information on needles. Is it possible to excerpt that portion of the show and add it to the classrooms section of the website? Very valuable information. It's something that would be worth viewing from time to time.

I watched the video of Nancy Zeiman demonstrating the circle sewing attachment last night and I think if I had to choose I would go for the one for my machine I thought the one demonstrated looked a bit fiddly.
Rita the circle attachment for the Janome is £45.00 !!!!! but I have seen it for £39.00 ...not that I plan to get one.
Spring is in the air ...blue skies today and warmer weather forecast, AS LAST.

Nancy's Notions has a circle sewing attachment. Has anyone used that? If so, how do you like it?

I really enjoyed this show too. Glad to see Hemingworth threads getting the thumbs up. I love them and have used them on many quilts, and they are really reasonably priced too.

Anne my thumb tack and electrical tape method for circles works really well but I think I will buy the circular attachment for my Bernina eventually, for precision circles. ;)

I had the same question. Watched the whole thing a second time and caught Ricky mentioning that the binding details are in her book. I think the DVD focuses on FMQ.

If you scroll down below the Barbara Shapel video, there is a link to her website where you can order her DVD about $30. Oh heck, I'll just put the link here for you: www.barbarashapel.com/dvd.html
I think I'll be ordering it, she has lots of great advice on the show, so three hours will have lots more.

I agree. It was one of their best shows. I do like Superior's titanium top stitch needles, but I occasionally have had some problems with skipping, so I think I'll try her suggestions on needles when that happens. I also like her method for thread painting a double sided art quilt.

I think I might be waiting a long time to find a class near me. I am thinking that the DVD would be a great investment. I wonder where you get hoops like the one she used. They made no mention of who made it or where to get it.

Kathy, take her class now and then take it again! It will be worth it, if you can do it now. You will learn so much, and what you learn next from her will be so well informed from the first time you took a class with her. :)
