Ha, Jenny and I must be a lot alike in sewing through anything. I mean how many people remember being taught in Home Ec. to sew right over the pins holding the pieces of that stupid looking jumper they made us make? We weren't supposed to pull them out until the seam was finished. Oh so many girls tried their dress on with pins still in it.

lol I was picturing that too.

I had a machine at one time that was advertised as 'can go over pins'. I think it was a Kenmore. Does any company say that anymore?

Jeez, my Kenmore could sew through pins. They'd break in half and the needle would still be good.

I also use washable glue sticks similar to that for applique work.

LOL Karen that is the same thing I was picturing - how can I baste Quiltzilla with a glue stick?!?!?!

I bought some when I was making the Wacky Web quilt last fall...I don't care for it at all.

I got it this morning - cause it was FREE (or $0.02), but still. I really don't have a use for it yet, but it was FREE. I just can't pass that up - plus it gave me a chance to get a couple of other little items I wanted.
