OT removing gummy

Polly, I use permanent fabric glue on the backs of both Velcro pieces. It works very well. I found that stitching down the Velcro mooshs down the gripper things on both sides, so gluing works the best for me. The fusible Velcro is price-y but works well, too. Clever of you to think of melting off the gummies- good on you!

Polly, you are a genius. Good grief, woman. Why aren't we electing you for president???? You figure out more fixes for problems that we all have. And you're articulate. And we like you.

I say POLLY ESTER FOR PRESIDENT!!

Sunny a party of one

(psssttttt, Sunny! You misspelled Esther!)

I will not be a candidate. If elected, I shall not serve. This is a test. Who said that? An FQ to the first correct response. Polly

"Sunny"

Sherman. General, not the boy of Mr. Peabody. ;-P

That was fun. Next question. For an FQ: Who stitched more than a hundred logs onto blocks with an empty bobbin? Polly

"Kathy Applebaum" Sherman. General, not the boy of Mr. Peabody. ;-P

Hi Polly, sounds like you need to supply yourself with 'velcro soft&flexible' sew-in tape. You could buy the 5/8" tape and cut off squares - then round off the corners before sewing down to your preemie shirts. It is available at various internet web sites - including Joann's and jhittles....jennellh

Ohmigawd! Who on earth could be sooooooo stupid to do *that*????? Surely you're kidding?

Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.

Well, yes, Jennell, that is what I had been doing. Most unfortunately, I bought hundreds of very soft little round dots and imagined they would be wonderful for the preemie things. A wee shirt calls for 5 sets (one set at each side seam and 3 down the front) so I thought this would be a smart economy. Now that I know how to un-gum them, they will be fine. Your method is much faster but I'll probably just have to deal with these for a dozen years or so. Polly

Oh maaannnnn, Taria.... ya outted me! Actually it was 120 log cabin blocks and I ran out of bobbin on #2. It was 118 'last-log-on-each-block' logs that were stitched without bobbin thread at 4 a.m. after sewing since early morning the day before. I believe I should be nominated for The Guinness Book of World Records..... For Dummies! LOL

Oh, you're in good company. I've done several strip sets before I noticed. But it could have been the wine. Yeah, that's it, it was the wine. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Congratulations to Kathy and Taria (and major gratitude to Leslie for teaching us about checking our bobbin level). Now.

The 3rd trivia question:

Our quilters have been on the road and in the sky lately. Who went to Shipshewana? Knoxville? Seoul?

"Leslie & The Furbabies in MO." Ohmigawd! Who on earth could be sooooooo stupid to do *that*????? Surely

LBJ

Well, gee, Donna. I think you're right. In fact, I remember when he made that announcement and how surprised we were. Kathy A's already been declared the winner for that one. Can you do the 3rd trivia answer for tonight? There's a FQ ready for you if you can. Polly

"DEM" LBJ

Dh (the guy with the history degree) had the answer to your first question as 'some old politician said that years ago'. How is that for a great answer?

I have heard what happens in Shipsewana stays in Shipsewana. It must be a wild place.

If I was go> Well, gee, Donna. I think you're right. In fact, I remember when he made

Good golly! LOL The guy with the history degree thinks General Sherman was 'some old politician' ? Well, maybe some Generals are politicians. Let's just don't go there. Polly

"Taria" Dh (the guy with the history degree) had the answer to your first

He was doing several other things when I asked and his degree is European history to be fair ; )

I'll let him go on that. I commented earlier "I NEED a candy bar". He had 3 he picked up this morning and had hidden them for me. This is a guy that doesn't generally buy candy bars. Only has taken me nearly
