  1. I've had my Liberty 9 years and I've replaced them three times. The first time I changed them was because they were stretched, Then I ordered some canvases that had been printed with a one inch grid and other markings. I thought I would love them. I did not. That was also my phase of "zippers". Didn't like those either. Then I decided I wanted some pretty canvas. Nope that was kind of stupid. So now I'm back to my natural colored canvases and I seem to be content with them. It's not hard to change them and the canvas is cheap enough. The hardest thing is the first time and fear of messing them up. I think how often you would need to change them would depend on how many quilts you do. I quilt in spurts and only for myself and I let my friends quilt on my machine and I figure about every 3 - 5 years at least.

    Hi, My design wall is by Cheryl Ann. It completely and quickly breaks down and will fit just about anywhere. I'll post her web site so you can see. Also, I NEVER take it down. I always have a project on it. https://www.cherylannsdesignwall.com/

    Hi Oma,

    Betsy asked if I mailed the block you generously offered me to give for Rita project.  I would assume you will mail it with your own blocks.  Let me or Betsy know and thank you.

      Oh Corey, I thought you were making the block so I only made two.  I can do one tomorrow and get it in the mail on Monday.  I'm sorry I misunderstood.

      Thank you.  Ok, check with Betsy though, they have a whole bunch, you might not need to.  But if you do. Thank you Oma.  

      Been very busy here.  Our very first grandbaby was delivered 2 months premature & C section, mom & baby daughter are both doing well, I've been busy helping drive her to NICU these past week plus 2 weeks ago when they kept her in the hospital when she started leaking some fluid.

  5. I would call APQS and ask them for an estimate. I don't remember being quoted that much. They do encourage you to buy a box for shipping and I believe that was around $35. Then there was the shipping charges and for some reason I think it was under $100 both ways. Definitely worth asking them.
  6. It's wonderful! I've bought the pattern and I will start stashing my purples or reds or grays once I decide on a color. They say imitation is the purest form of flattery and I want to imitate you. You did a GREAT job and FAST!

    Daughter bag

    I love these bags and yours is beautiful. Your daughter will absolutely love it. I guarantee it. I just bought more fabric on Wednesday to make another one. I'm going to teach a friend how to make one and I figured I might as well make another one at the same time and gift it to another friend.
  8. I can give you my opinion because I have all three. Leader Grips were fine, but I almost immediately upgraded to Red Snappers which I still use. I don't remember why I did that. I usually pin the top of the back and I use the Red Snappers on the bottom of the back. I do this because I have a Liberty with a 20 inch throat and some of my quilts are fairly big. If I use Red Snappers sometimes the tube gets in a position just right to take up ½ inch or so of my throat space and I have trouble getting the needle to the other edge if I'm using my CL boards. I hope that makes sense, anyway, I float my tops. I had (and still have) several sets of zippers and hated them from day one. It was way more work than pinning or using the Red Snappers. The zippers are nice if you have to remove the quilt in the middle of quilting it in order to put another quilt on. I don't sew for others so that was never an issue.

    How wonderful. I'm still loving the heck out of mine too.

    Thanks Nancy. I was in shock with my tables too. Especially buying two of them, but like you said the quality is there for sure.
