Frequently
Asked Questions
May is a time of celebrations and memory making as Mother and Fathers day, weddings and graduation come around. This often turns our interest toward creating that special memory quilt or project for loved ones. After many questions coming my way about Photo Transfer paper, I have written a FAQ with Instructions on how to apply Photo Transfer Paper to fabric, mouse pads, jigsaw puzzles, coasters. Check it out at:
Check out our full line of photo transfer products, with Bubble Jet Set 2000 and Bubble Jet Rinse being some of our most popular and for those who prefer the ready to go fabric without the mess, we also added June Tailor Colorfast (sew in) and Quickfuse (iron-on) Printer Fabrics in BULK packages to reduce your costs for these easy to products. Our printer fabric comes in two colors, White and Cream, right now we have an overstock on Cream so we are having an Overstock Sale. The Cream is lovely off white that does not change the appearance of you printout. We also have many helpful books covering memory quilts, fabric printing and photo transfer. We also have added Ensure and Orvus Paste for gentle cleaning of your memory quilts. Check out the complete line at:
Electric
Quilt: Patti Anderson, an expert in EQ who teaches EQ and other computer quilting
related classes at Quilt University talks about developing, fitting, and printing
simple designs good for quiting lines in borders. This is excellent information.
Quilt-Pro:
Frank Smith, our resident guru for Quilt-Pro, continues to add to his Quilt-Pro
Series with 3 new additions. We have more in the wings waiting, but thought 3
was enough to digest in one sitting. Frank has finished his border series and
added two other tips.

Quilter totes move over, the new Crafts
on Wheels is THE ultimate tote. This new healthy luggage (doctor recommended)
is designed specifically for crafters with over 50 organizational pouches, zippered
pockets, accordian file folders and velcroed partitions. The 4 wheeled tote is
designed to be easily pulled and even has won awards for its excellent design.
The tote is very strong because it is encased by a light weight piping that can
hold another 150 pounds on top. The piping also acts as a protector for your sewing
machine to prevent crushing from other luggage or heavy items stored on top.
Look over our new line of nested decorator boxes in both fabric and beautiful paper. Add beauty to any setting that serves double duty as organizers. Click on your favorite box below.  We
also are featuring a very lightweight plastic Dura
Tote Art Box with strong buckle to keep the lid very tight. Includes a
very durable nylon shoulder strap that is both soft and strong. The strap is used
to reinforce the bottom of the tote making it an excellent choice to carry heavier
items like a small design board, portable iron and the large one is big enough
for a quilt. The Dura Tote is a excellent for carrying supplies to class.

New Rulers and Quilt CuttersWe have a great price on our Altos Quilt Cut. It is an all inclusive system for cutting that holds your fabric, not MORE slippage. It is very popular with users. One customer who had some slight shipping damage begged us not to send for pick up till the very last second because she did not think she could live without it for a day.

New problems arising on our Link page. Your help requested to help us maintain quality resource quilting links.We are
sorry to report over the last few months some of our favorite quilt links are
no longer have a presence on the web and that their domain names have lasped.
This is the natural course of things and causes the dreaded NOT found message
we all hate to see. But even worse in 2 instances that we know of, links on our
extensive link pages now went directly to offending website. There seems to be
a trend that as domain names lapse, those less than scrupleous site owners are
snatching them up and redirecting them so that they look like active links to
our link checker programs and yet they are going to an offensive or at the very
least an unrelated site. I thank those of you who have
taken the time to let me know of this problem. AND I would really appreciate if
you happen to run into a dead link or WORSE yet, a link that now goes to an unrelated
and possibly offensive site, PLEASE let us know. We will remove that link immediately.
UNTIL NEXT TIME May
all your time Computer Quilting be a Joy, filled with right brain escape,
and result in that much sought after finished Fabric Quilt, if not at least
a very nifty Virtual Quilt that you send to me to display in the VIRTUAL QUILT
GALLERY!! Sharla
