Wonderful, Hazel! Enjoy the book -- it's a real winner. I also like the HP label program; it's lots of fun to use. I use Printed Treasures sheets and like the results I get, but you could also get some Bubble Jet Set to use on your own fabrics. I'd suggest getting it from Sheila at ; she generally has very competitive prices.

I'm just so glad you have the Fons book. Find it a home close to your SM. I mitred corners on quilt binding with that good book in my lap many times. I usually birth quilts and everytime I needed to do a real binding, I needed my refresher course. They show 'just how' to do it. It's well-written, well-illustrated and (!) it is right. I'm proud of you. Polly

That is a great book. I took mine to Staples and had them put a spiral binding on it so it lays nice and flat and stayes open at whatever page I am looking at.

If you don't have Staples, try Kinko's, Insty-Prints, OfficeMax, a local printer, etc. A lot of places that do printing and copying can do it.

Mom and I use it to help set our blocks with sashing and corner posts in a straight setting. Going by the book directions was easy peasy, and the results were perfect.
