Hi Barbara,
I’m not sure how your friend thought I’d be able to help find a walking foot. I write about sewing, quilting and crafts but I don’t sell equipment.
Sorry,
Tonya
PS I’ve removed your phone number from your question – I’m pretty sure you don’t want the whole world to know it!

Glad to provide some inspiration, Lisaleh. I love quilting and it really isn’t as hard as some people suggest.

Hi. I just found your quilting site. I design and print for sale quilt blocks. However, I could not quilt if my life depended on it! But, I am a willing student. I would love to use some of my quilt blocks to make my own quilt. I will keep watch on your blog. Interesting and I hope to learn!
Such an awesome list, most of which were on my list too. And so much more inspiration from the others.

Hi there! I wondered if you might be interested in writing a review for us. My hubby and I just released the first version of a new quilting puzzle computer game called Unlock the Block, in which levels are played to unlock instructions to make a modern sampler quilt. If you would be interested in playing, and writing a review, please do contact me and I can get you all set up. Thanks in advance for your consideration and time 🙂

Unlock the Block
Hi Sharon,
I did pop over and take a look but unfortunately, I don’t run Windows on my computer so I can’t actually try the game.
Great list of blogs, Thank you!
I hope someday to be listed among the greats, as well!
I have a long way to go, but take a look if you’d like!

I’m striving to make an interactive blog, if anyone is looking for an interactive blog- follow me, I am still working on the interactive part 😉
I am new to sewing and quilting but old to blogging.. haha
I have some reading to catch up on! ha!
Listed Blogs are awesome, I will keep watch on your blog. Fascinating and I would like to learn!
Hi, I’m new here. I just want to know what is the big deal about using a walking foot when quilting. I have had one for a long time but never used it because looking at it made me want to run for the Hills. I finally watch the video on how to use it today and so I tried it. I learned two things, 1 it was easy to attach and there was nothing to be afraid of. The second thing was that I didn’t see any difference between quilting with it and quilting without it. Oh I also learned that my walking foot does not use a guide. So, can anyone explain to me why I should use this? Thank you in advance
Hi Sheri,
The idea of the walking foot is that it pulls your top and bottom layers of fabric through more evenly so you end up with less bunching in your quilting. But if you are only quilting a fairly thin quilt sandwich then you won’t see much difference. If you are quilting a fluffy thick quilt then it can make a big difference.
As with all things, I would say do what works for you. If your quilting is great without the walking foot, then keep doing what you’re doing!
Hope that helps,
Tonya
Why is cotton only fabric now being used for items that will be going into microwave? I have some batting that came with instructions that doesn’t mention that the fabric used for spud bags need to be 100% cotton.
I don’t know, Diana, but I wonder whether the cotton is less flammable or likely to melt and so is safer for the microwave?
I am looking for a pattern in Australian Patchwork and Quilting magazine, Vol 19 No. 7. The quilt was designed by Sandra Dart called “Waiting for Russell.” If you know of someone who has that pattern or issue of the magazine, please let me know.
Thank you for the quilting blog links!
