You can still get SQ's on-line as reruns. I love it if only for the fact that I can catch the shows I missed. Also, you can print out instructions you need instead of having to take notes, which I was never very good at.

Hi yes and it is a good show

I also will print a design from the computer, or draw one of my own. I then trace it on to a product like Sulky solvy. I have found a bright blue sharpie will show on both light and dark fabrics. I then spray the back side of the Solvy with 505 spray to stick it to the right side of the quilt. It holds the fabric stable as I will procede to free hand those quilting lines. The product is easy to rip off the top of the quilt, and if any remains it comes out by rubbing with a damp cloth if you do not want to wash the quilt immediately.

ipquilter OFFLINE Posts: 622	QNM--Quilters Newsletter Magazine. Great magazine. I've had a subscription since before I started quilting. Great patterns, great layout and articles. Lots of very useful inforamtion. They also have a good web site. This magazine and Simply Quilts have been my "personal teachers" for about 5 or 6 years.

I use my scanner to copy and my PC to size quilting designs just right and print them onto regular printer paper. Next, for med/dark colored fabrics, I rub soap heavily all over the wrong side of the paper ensuring that the quilt design is completely covered. For light colored fabrics I use a silver quilter's marking pencil instead. Then I use my tracing wheel to trace the design onto the quilt. One advantage is that the little dots made by the tracing wheel are evenly spaced and will help a handquilter evenly space the quilt stitiches.
