It is very liberating. I actually had some trouble narrowing it down to just the ten.

Color Catchers are usually available at Target (in their $1.00 bins). (If you have access to a Target??) I like them. They seem to work. Nice post.

I like to extend the life of everything too, and I have oodles of selvedges that I will probably never use, taking up precious space. They may be posted at my Etsy site soon! Or, maybe they would make a good giveaway.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00546043492549930952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647398646594937688.post-53139902821553284962014-08-26T23:43:31.772-02:302014-08-26T23:43:31.772-02:30So enjoyable reading everyone's quilty little ...So enjoyable reading everyone's quilty little secrets! What a bunch of secret rebels we are. I totally get you on the iron, not press, thing. And I use steam. Lots of it! Who cares anyway?! And I'd be happy to take your selvages :)Jenn @ A Quarter Inch from the Edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657846734631422153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647398646594937688.post-48245681323440410032014-08-26T23:27:07.086-02:302014-08-26T23:27:07.086-02:30The only time I change my sewing machine needle is...The only time I change my sewing machine needle is when my machine gets super fussy when I am free motion quilting. Unfortunately, that seems to be all the time at the moment... but I'm sure I'll find her sweet spot one of these days. :) I don't save selvages, either. Heck, I rarely save much of my "scraps" unless it is significant enough to use for another project! I have really enjoyed reading everyone's lists.Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705160384198590025noreply@blogger.com
