Have you visited BackSideFabrics? They offer wide backs from 25+ manufacturers, including Benartex, Moda, Northcott, Timeless Treasures, Wilmington and Windham. Most fabrics are 108", but batik wide backs are 106", and some fabrics are 116" or 118" ! As a special service, they offer free swatches up to 10 per month.

You might also visit Missing Fabrics to see if you have something in your stash that someone else is looking for - or perhaps someone has that piece you need to finish a project.

A tutorial for Susie's Magic Binding is available from Aunt Marti's 52 Quilts. This is a back-to-front binding that yields a look of piping at the edge of the binding on the front. Also, try Jean's Genius Binding - it's a front-to-back binding without the flange. Both are finished with machine stitching - you need a stitch-in-the-ditch foot for your machine. No hand stitching required!

Pride City Library

Our Library has over 150 items. They are stored on two carts at the church where we meet. Checkout and return is easy - just write your name and the date on the card in the front of the book, and hand the card to the Librarian. If you wish to keep the item more than one month (providing no one else is waiting to borrow the item), please "renew" it by filling in the new date.  Return books to the Librarian or to the location indicated near the cart.
