You get special cloth which is the size of your paper that goes in your printer. It has a backing you peel off after you print your picture on it. You can get it at Wal Mart and stores that sell a lot of quilting supplies have it. I am strong when I am on your shoulders, you raised me up to be more than I can be.

Are those gnomes on my computer making magic?????? I never thought I would like quilting until my daughter fell in love with a quilt that had geese on it so I tried one square to see if I could do it and fell in love with quilting. then i decieded to take classes and got some good tips and fell in love even more. Can't wait till Friday to start a new project. I am strong when I am on your shoulders, you raised me up to be more than I can be.

If you dont want to get into lots of money to try a sewing machine, go to the walmart and look at one of the machines there ....... They had different brands ......Perhaps you can check one online .. THen go to the store..... I have a machine from Sears for straight sewing . walmart is cheaper.. PS... My horse isn't here, this is my Nitemare..

Another friend bought a tractor trailer on there......It was fine..But he later sold it to some one in Colorado and I think made a profit. b Guess this modern world is full of tricks for profit........
