It might be an option if I were a business and I am not. It is easy and handy. I also recommend using credit cards only for the added protection they offer. Clara

Ann...I had a pretty good feeling that you already knew what to do especially since you were being so conscientious as to make testers. I'm taking every opporutnity I can to make sure that sinks to everyone, so in reality, the reminder was for all the members.

My Testers were for my own benefit, not for the Sisterhood Exchange. I'm making an Applique Block Book based on Edyta's book cover pattern so I needed many triangles to get that finished before sewing bee this week. Rest assured I will not be tearing the papers off of the ones I send in... Thanks for all the reminders!

It was a great idea to do some 'testers' , but remember that you do need to leave the triangles folded and the papers on when you send your exchange HST's to us.

I'll look forward to receiving your package!

TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING TRIANGLES EXCHANGE: Please note that in a few days we plan to close the thread on this specific Forum topic and open a new 'Chapter 2 Sisterhood' forum topic. That new forum will all us to post pertinent information and important updates at the very beginning of the forum as we did here, but I'm also going to be reserving a few more posts right after that to separate the infomation.

I will be transferring all the Guidelines, mailing instruction, International PayPal information, etc., etc. etc.

Ditto. New to exchanges (except for ones with Mama) and the Forum, but love all the tips from everyone. I sewed a bunch of "tester" HSTs before a road trip this weekend. I took Edyta's advice from the show and tore off the papers on the road. It was the perfect task for in the car. In fact, for the first time it allowed me to focus on something else besides extremely large trucks getting too close my side of the wagon!

Thanks, Margo, for the tip on pressing before cutting. That is going to work out great!

Re: sorting and/or mixing HST’s - My suggestion would be to allow my three long haired chihuahua’s and one mutt-Papillon/Chi to sort them on our living floor. They would do a really good job! It’s the picking up part that would take a while!

Thanks for the tip on ironing the HST’s before cutting! I was just taking a lunch break and reading e-mails & your posts. I just finished with my first sheet & have already cut them apart but at least I won’t freak out when I iron them. Now I know what to expect and will iron the next batch before separating!

I love reading all your posts and getting your tips! Thanks to the sorters & thank you all for sharing!! This is my first exchange also, so thanks again for all the assistance.

That is because Montana is cold and she may be a little warmer. We should fly together, Washington is to cold right now.

Oh Ritzy, be careful what you say!!! You may have to buy me an airplane ticket so I can come stay with you for a few days and help sort and repack and mail them back!!! It'd be fun, though!

I hope we don't have the numbers of the Sisterhood. I am by myself on the Batiks exchange. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". Bring it on!

I am so sad that I missed the deadline. I have been out of the loop for a couple weeks and just yesterday got in on the Batik exchange... in doing that I noticed talk about the SotTTE and after looking at some of the posts here, I am upset with myself for not staying on top of the posts here on the Quilt Show. I am sure the Batik exchange will be a good one, but I don't think it will reach the numbers that this one has.
