Margie Campbell replied to QuilterBridget's discussion I hate my frame! in the group Machine Quilting"I use zippers on my leaders...saves a ton of time. I find the center of the backing (both ends) and also for the top. I put one pin to hold the top of the backing to the zipper on the takeup bar...and repeat for the one on the belly…"
Margie Campbell commented on Linny t's group Crazy Quilts"I use telephone book pages sometimes. I don't leave it in...I tear it out when the block is done. I've not had a problem. If I am doing paper piecing & have to print the pages...I print using a contrasting ink (blue,…"
Margie Campbell commented on American Quilter's Society's group Machine Quilting"I have customers who send me sheets to use as backing. I don't mind using sheets..I ask them to use a cotton or poly/cotton blend with a lower thread count...nothing fancy...and wash it at least twice to soften the fabric. If I need…"
Margie Campbell replied to Garnie P. Bethea's discussion Marking Pens/Pencils"I think some of the new "lead" pencils don't actually use lead (it's taboo now days)..
I use them a lot...the cheapo disposable pencils...have used them for years, no problems. I would not use them to mark a whole top…"
Margie Campbell commented on American Quilter's Society's group Machine Quilting"I use a nice 104" wide muslin in both bleached and unbleached. It's one of the staples I keep on hand. It's not as expensive as some of the other brands...but it's not thin, and is of excellent quality. "

I print…"

"I think you must be my 'sister'. I keep thinking if I make some foundation pieces I'll learn to like it. I have a scrappy quilt that I work on when I don't have a project going. I've made several foundation…"
Margie Campbell replied to QuilterBridget's discussion Favorite Design Method in the group Quilt Designers"I also use pencil and graph paper. I once took a class on basic quiltmaking...and it took me from Idea to binding (all by hand)...and it was the most helpful of any class I've ever taken. I've taken a few on technique…"
Margie Campbell replied to QuilterBridget's discussion I hate my frame! in the group Machine Quilting"I can do a quilt up to 108" on my 10ft frame...but that leaves no room to move the machine to the side for changing bobbins, etc...which is why I was floating my quilts...so I had access to the bobbin."

Zipper stop has them listed as longarm zippers

Margie Campbell replied to Garnie P. Bethea's discussion Marking Pens/Pencils"Do you have any chalk around? Sharpen it in a pencil sharpener & use it.
