| You may already be aware of this but it's a great tip for those who don't. When you are hand sewing the binding to the back of a quilt, if you run the needle and thread through a fabric softener sheet three or four times, the thread will hardly ever tangle and you can use a much longer piece. |

I didn't know that! I have two that I need to add binding to and will give it a try. Thanks, Fran!

| News to me. Have always used "quilter heaven" but this sound easier. TFS. |

| Fran, that's a good tip. I also use Thread Heaven. I also prefer using shorter pieces of thread so there is less to re-sew if a section happens to come undone over time. :) Donna |

I never heard of this either, but when you think about it, it makes sense. Thanks for sharing!

| Thanks for the tip. I have a binding to sew this week. This will keep my sailor's cussing at a minimum. |

| Donna, you can have the best of both worlds. When hand stitching something, I use as long a thread as I can handle, but periodically tie a knot and snap it through, then continue on. |

| Thanks, Donna! I try to remember to do that, but often forget. :) Donna |
