The Touchpad allowed me to take a web page (as in the Daily Deal) and put a direct link right on my screen. I can't seem to do the same thing on the Android.

"No problem," I thought, "I'll just get the M*SQ app!" Which brings me to my question for you! Looks like the M*SQ app is ALWAYS in portrait mode. It's just impossible for me to enjoy the forum in portrait mode. Is there any way to use landscape mode with the M*QC app?

The foot pedal is making noises but not managing to make the needle move, its really upset me as I have only had the machine since Christmas. I checked that there wasn't anything that I could see blocking the feed dogs or stuck in the bobbin area but didn't find anything so I am now waiting for a man to collect it in the morning to hopefully repair it for me.
Its really frustrating when all the material is ready to be put together and now I have no excuses why I cannot do housework LOL ]]> How To Use The Site Eileen83flowers http://forum.missouriquiltco.com/showthread.php?23807-My-sewing-has-had-to-stop New to quilting - clipping thread question http://forum.missouriquiltco.com/showthread.php?23683-New-to-quilting-clipping-thread-question&goto=newpost Thu, 09 May 2013 18:28:05 GMT May seem like a "dumb" question, but here goes: I have only quilted by "stitching in the ditch" - works o.k., however, how often do you stop and clip the thread? For example, when I'm quilting a log cabin design, I sew in one direction, maybe across 3 or 4 "logs" and then stop and clip the thread. I always backstitch too.

Is there a better method?

I'm new to sewing, very new!! My grandmother left me her Dressmaker sewing machine when she passed away. However, there isn't a manual with the machine and I have NO idea how to thread it! No laughing!! :icon_bigsmile:

I'm trying to post my quilt photos and am unable to successfully post them all. I've never had a problem posting before. Can anyone tell me how to reduce the file size? That seems to be the problem. I'm taking pics with my iphone. They've previously always loaded very quickly. I'd really like to post my Hawaiian quilt. Bill Nye, can you please help?
