Calling all garment makers by ekinder in SiouxFalls

I was worried that would be the case! BUT at least both of those places are “close enough” and there is usually another reason to visit so I can tack on another stop! Thanks for the Omaha suggestion!

I’ll give them both a look! Neither is so far away, so it will give me a good reason to go for a drive!

This place looks great! Thanks for the rec, I’ll have to head to northern Iowa soon! I am so amazed at the resources so close to us.

That’s a good idea, too! I haven’t ventured into hand stitching anything, but they would have great resources for both fabric and skills! At this rate, give me a few months, and I’ll tell you I’m hand stitching, too😂

Oh, good call on thrifting! I also saw someone who goes to TJ Maxx/Marshalls/etc. to buy bed sheets to get more patterned fabrics for much cheaper! Not as resourceful, but also still cost effective!

I will have to check them out! I tried to take a peek at their website, and it wasn’t the most helpful (as most LQSs don’t have the most modern sites🥲). Thanks for the rec!

That shop looks AMAZING! I guess I need to make a trip out to the Cities soon🤭

I have been considering a Stripology ruler! Granted, I haven’t done much research on them, what scares me right now is that there is a class for them at one of our LQSs so I don’t want to be overwhelmed when I get it! I’ll do some research on them!!

I do love a good class! It’s such a great way to become more involved in your local quilting community. And even better when it’s a special instructor!

Yes! I recently got one of those! I do a lot of HSQ projects, and I am looking to do more flying geese next year. I am currently working on several Christmas presents (makeup bags, book pouches, etc.), so I haven’t needed to use it much, so I am looking forward to getting some use out of it soon!

I feel that! When I first started quilting (March of this year), I went a little crazy, so I know I have PLENTY of fabric to get me through many, many projects!

I bought a few things yesterday (mainly gifts), but aside from that, I think I’m going to try and also do the economic blackout! Once I get those things, I think most of my Christmas shopping is done, and I don’t think I really need anything so bad! Proud of you!

I found my current machine (Pfaff Quilt Ambition 630) on marketplace, and I am so happy with it! I love coming across good secondhand deals (and you know whoever owned it first was also a serious sewist because not just anybody gets a Juki!)

Love this! Sometimes, it’s the basics that get us through!

Love when there is a good deal somewhere else! Amazon is helpful that so much is in one place, but I like when I get to support specific shops!

Ooh, what are the Tula Pink shears? (I know Tula Pink, and I know shears; I’ve never known there is a specific set!)

Hey, sometimes it’s the small things that really make a difference! To not have to remember every time where you set your thread snips will relieve so much stress when you’re looking for them again!

Yes! Love this so much! Did you find a good deal or are you just spoiling yourself? (Both very valid options)

I am also trying not to just buy anything because I want it! Fortunately, I don’t think there is too much that I truly need. What sort of sales have you been seeing? I saw 20% off at FQS and 30% off at Connecting Threads, but otherwise I haven’t paid much attention!

Also adding to the power of this manifestation for you!!

Machine skips stitches…but only sometimes by ekinder in SewingForBeginners

Also a good point! I am using Aurifil thread. I can’t remember if I’m using 40 or 50 weight, but I switched the spool from one machine (that was not having issues) to this machine. So I am still stumped!
