This is the measurement that you are going to use to fold your fabric into "mini bolts". With my cabinets, I fold my fabric over at the 15" measurement. I just lay a yardstick on the table, find where 15" is, measuring that from the left end of the folded fabric piece towards the center of the length. Begin to fold over and over and over at that measurement until the fabric is in one small bundle.</span></div> <div style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span></div> <span style="font-size:130%;">It doesn't matter how many yards are in the piece. The fabric "mini bolts" will end up being the same depth and width on your shelf, even if longer pieces of yardage are thicker. You can still see by looking at the stacked fabric, just exactly what you have on your shelf. All raw edges go towards the back of the shelf so all you are looking at is neatly folded fabric! It is really easy to pull ONE stack out, get the fabric you want out of the stack, and slide the stack back in place.

It comes with a laser light, base, one groovy board, bobbin winder and half dozen bobbins. The machine does not have a stitch regulator but one could be easily added. Jean is asking $4500.<br /><br />In addition Jean is leaving our little group. We will <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;">not </span>have the meeting at her house in February. Look for more information on the meeting place and the February agenda.<br /><br />If you have any questions or know of anyone who is interested in purchasing this machine, please drop me an email victoriandiva at hotmail.com and I'll let Jean know immediately.Bustier Girlshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04681048879103686980noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298397021709534591.post-72987953487424670362009-01-22T15:58:00.000-08:002009-01-22T16:21:25.256-08:00Quilt Show<p><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);font-size:180%;" >Shelly Library Quilt Show </span><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Randy/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-2.jpg" alt="" /></p><p>If you want to car pool to the show please post in the comments which day and classes you are interested in and then we can see if we can get a bunch of girls together (this could include people not in our longarm group) to carpool to Shelly.<br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://northbingham.lili.org/node/77">The 10th Annual Quilt Spectacular Open House</a> will be held : </p> <p> Tuesday January 27th from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm and<br />Wednesday January 28th from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm </p> <ul><li>Quilts on diplay, old and new<br /> Quilt books to check out, door prizes for class attendees</li></ul>There will be a block contest.

The variety of teachers, many of which are nationally know is just amazing. <br /><span class="main_text1"></span><br />You can listen to an interview<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" > with Ann Collet of Home Machine Quilters Quilt Show by going to the </span><a href="http://www.hmqs.org/">HMQS website</a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" > , look to the right side and click on </span><a href="http://www.audioacrobat.com/play/WxC9bCgQ" target="_blank" class="news_link1">Listen to Interview about HMQS 2009</a>. You can also look at the winners of last years show by clicking on <a class="link2" href="http://www.hmqs.org/pdfs/website%20winners%20vf.pdf" target="_blank">View Winning Quilts</a>. Our very own Kat Blakley was a 1st place winner. <br /><br />The theme for this year is<span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">"Pump up the color."</span></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span> Every year the show sponsors a charitable group. This year the charity to be serrved is Kwoyo Kochia village in Kenya. This village is in desperate need of a well to provide clean drinking water. Ann Collet wanted to have the theme be relevant to this important charitable contribution.<br /><br /><span class="main_text1">HMQS is the premier consumer exhibition and educational conference for all machine quilters and embroiderers! Featuring 100 classes taught by national instructors, a judged quilt competition with $23,000 in awards, hundreds of machine-quilted quilts on display, fantastic special exhibits, and a vendor mall with 175 booths. <br /><br /></span>The deadline for competition entries is April 1, 2009. If you want to hand deliver your items you have until April 18th. You can get your entry form from the catalog which can be mailed to you or online at the HMQS website. Ann Collet will gladly answere any questions you have, really she will, just give her a call.<br /><br />Some recommended teacher would be: Pam Clark for beginning quilters. She is a wonderful teacher and she will give you more confidence than you could ever imagine. Linda Taylor is a wonderful teacher (her hands on class are a little pricey, however, everyone I know who has taken one just loved it). Karen Mctavish is an internationally know teacher and is very entertaining to say the least. Renae Haddin will really get you thinking if you are an advanced quilter. Please look through the catalog and make comments on teachers you are familiar with.Bustier Girlshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04681048879103686980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298397021709534591.post-75471050610351212422009-01-18T08:03:00.001-08:002009-01-18T08:08:59.518-08:00The fabric for our challenge is coming<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWkxiImKCXP9aFkg2RvrASj89ci5YTrWYaxZTt-lm4fTZgo1SboFUM-crEc1cJIeLFGFJDT_da_bpGo0ATW-Un-qqPeleRhImP0LZu5s6sbdZPXzw_QagFellbTbOj674w2M4EVVuO2M0/s1600-h/fab20009hmqs.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWkxiImKCXP9aFkg2RvrASj89ci5YTrWYaxZTt-lm4fTZgo1SboFUM-crEc1cJIeLFGFJDT_da_bpGo0ATW-Un-qqPeleRhImP0LZu5s6sbdZPXzw_QagFellbTbOj674w2M4EVVuO2M0/s400/fab20009hmqs.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292665765590811026" border="0" /></a><br /><div>This is the line we are doing for the HMQS Challenge group.

They REALLY didn't like it at first but after some practice they got much comfortable and said they could see many uses for the Pantograph and they said they would try using pantos at home. If our group is interested in an intermediate class, we will do another class in the future.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIeMcDSDzHb6gRp5mRMl3FazxxieKxFB9VXoHDWeZBrfFZMiof1F8B6m3LQWwwNAJlzjOvZXvHNSjn7QEa5PJSTWByw7_Gi4zPOUB1qW6dNt6OJnIwunySKBQcKTFj_V5yfqXmr7CEnro/s1600-h/MeldaLA.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIeMcDSDzHb6gRp5mRMl3FazxxieKxFB9VXoHDWeZBrfFZMiof1F8B6m3LQWwwNAJlzjOvZXvHNSjn7QEa5PJSTWByw7_Gi4zPOUB1qW6dNt6OJnIwunySKBQcKTFj_V5yfqXmr7CEnro/s320/MeldaLA.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290542561774906754" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />The quilt on the machine will be donated to a local charity.

We began our meetings in November. We meet the first Monday of each month. To be a member you must apply and have a longarm. Our group is limited to a maximum of 8 members. We have no dues and rotate our meetings so each member has a chance to host the meeting, provide refreshments and provide the education lesson for the month.<br /><br />For our January meeting we will be learning how to set up and use a pantograph. Cindy Roth who is a teacher at Longarm University has an excellent website describing <a href="http://www.longarmuniversity.com/pdf%20files/Pantograph%20Instructions%20.pdf">how to properly use pantographs on a longarm.</a><br /><br />If you want some help in taking some of the math out of the process try this <a href="http://www.quiltscomplete.com/ppc.aspx">panto calculator</a>.<br /><br />There are many designers of pantos. For some names you can google, <a href="http://www.quiltscomplete.com/Departments/Catalogs.aspx">take a glimpse here</a>.<br /><br />To see the work of some of the designers, <a href="http://www.quiltscomplete.com/Departments/Designers.aspx">google the names you find at this site</a>.<br /><br />There will be pictures posted from each meeting and feel free to make comments. If people use this site then we will make it a site with access for all members.Bustier Girlshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04681048879103686980noreply@blogger.com0
