I use a retractable lanyard with a clip to hold embroidery scissors on my shirt.   That way I always have them handy no matter where I am around the longarm.  As to pins, I have 2 of the round magnetic ashtrays and put one each sideways on the bars that hold my lights.  You do have to be careful because if you knock them off the pins go all over, but they hold really tight.  The convenience for me is worth the rare occasional scramble to pick up pins.

Hi, all, I had an older Intelliquilter book before I got the wonderful new one from Linda Miller, and I have lost it.  Does anyone know the author's name and the title, and if it's still available?  I'd like to get another copy if possible.  The book's cover was sort of sepia/beige tones.  Thanks for any help!

Hi, all, has anyone ever added extra batting underneath parts of a quilt on the frame because, no matter what. it won't steam or lay flat?  If so, do you use batting tape or just lay it in there?  I get fooled sometimes when I lay a top out as to how it will behave at the borders.
TIA,

Thanks all, I guess I've been doing it right!  Good to know.
Thanks, sometimes these quilts are just too friendly!!
