The following pictures are candid shots of guild members as they shared new tips and tricks. Some of those tips were:
Using small hair bands to hold bobbin thread in place.
Putting pins on the back of hand applique to keep from being stuck and catching thread as you sew.
Using medical forceps to hold or pull needles out.
Cutting out a cheater squares and appliqueing, can cover old business names on t-shirts.
Magnetic bowls for pins can be bought cheaper at Harbor Freight or other tool stores.
Oliso iron has a neat feature - pop up feet for no scorching.
Instructions for a great sewing machine matt for tools.
When you have a block that a point doesn't quite match you can take a permanent ink pen in a matching color and "draw" the point in.
