Your assistant is very helpful and attentive😂
I use the plastic cutting boards for making templates, from dollar tree
I love your kiddy!
You have a most excellant assistant with you~ no quilt is complete with out a cat~
A great dollar store find is the Teflon pot scrubber (2 in a pkg) which I use for removing pet hair on quilts, quilt blocks, couches, bedding, car seats, etc! Also good to use on cutting mats to remove threads or batting bits after cutting batting!
After ripping seams I use a dollar store lint roller to remove threads. Saw that hint on TikTok and as a new quilter I can confirm it works😂
I use the shelf liner cut 2 pieces size of hand and use for free motion quilting
I think the idea of using the shower curtain over my sewing machine, and long arm to keep,dust off is a good idea.
Yes, that is a good idea! I use old sheets to cover up my cutting and pressing areas which is where the cats seem to prefer to be and I have covers for all my sewing machines. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks!
Thanks so much for your support of my channel. I appreciate it!
You have an adorable quilting buddy ❤️
You could also use the ice cube tray to keep your sewing feet separated
I buy the foam toe separators used for painting nails as bobbin storage (even though I get funny looks sometimes). Four bobbins will fit in each foam. If the bobbins are threaded they will not unravel and I can sort them however I want. For a very large project I can wind off 4 bobbins plus one in the machine and have them right where I need them. The foams fit neatly into a plastic box with a lid so they can be out away and I can see all the colours at once.
Loved the trimmer too.
Me too!
I get a package of 2 in package of flexible cutting boards. I use to make templates when sewing.
I bet that pretty kitty is a good helper!
Thank you so much I love the razor idea for seam rippers
You are so welcome!
The beard trimmer is really handy especially if you paper piece. Stitches are normally much closer together. It makes short work of it.
These are some good ideas, Kim, thanks. And it was a two-for-one, since that cat was just as entertaining as the new ideas were thought-provoking.
Definitely keep your black cat in your video. He or she just cracks me up
you have a quilting helper, so cute
Excellent suggestions! Thank you!
Your crafting companion is too cute, cuddles to him! ❤
They also carry small cutting mats.
I throw the flannel backed tablecloth on my king sized bed and fold it over when its time for bed. As for those bobbin boxes, much cheaper than what you get in the fabric stores….great idea. Thank you!
Love the shower curtain hack
Just introduced to your channel! I use cheap zip top bags to hold projects. Like my hexies are by color/flowers, another project has the cut pieces in individual bags and so on. Since they’re cheap, they don’t seal as tight, so the fabric still has airflow. But never seen a house panther at the Dollar Store - good find!
OMG your cute little kitty is so sweet and interested in everything you're doing! That tail flick! I'm melting from cuteness overexposure! I love how cats just love being in the middle of all your business 🥰
These are great ideas Kim, thanks!
Brilliant idea with the beard trimmer.. I clean my sewing bobbin with chenille stems which I buy at the dollar store
Love your cat!
❤ great ideas, thanks for sharing them. ❤❤I love kitty, so curious 😊
I would rather have the cat❤
Lots of great ideas. I’m going to look for one of those beard trimmers. Try using hand sanitizer on a tissue or paper towel to remove marker from plastic.
Nice ideas! I know what is *not* helpful in a quilting area-a cat, LOL. Ask me how I know! Cats seem drawn to quilts. I would often find my cat sleeping on top of a quilt in progress. I've used a flannel backed table cloth from a discount store as a design wall, works beautifully! A beard trimmer as seam ripper, wow, never would have thought about that, very cool, thanks so much! ~Cynthia
My cats like to sit in my sewing chair
place a shower curtain over cutting area/work table to protect from fur, or project being manipulated by cats/children/pets
Love the beard trimmer seam ripper!
I love the beard trimming idea I don’t make quilts but I saw that is awesome what a Time saver thank you so much
You are so welcome!
I really appreciated that you got to the point immediately instead of a big long introduction. Thanks for all of your ideas.
You are so welcome!
YES! It the reason I started watching her. She just gets to it.
I like the ziplock-type bags for storing project pieces.
I have that rack and I use it to store large rulers. Design boards. Cutting mats. Works great.
Great hints, especially the beard trimmer! Love the idea!!o
Love all the items at dollar store!
I use a clear vinyl folder for paper products to audition designs. Smoother and stays put easier than your thin plastic. Small silicone mascara applicators are great reusable cleaners for bobbin
after riping out stitches I take a strip of blue painter tape to pick up the cut threads..I just place it over the area and as I pick it up it will collect the cut threads.
Thanks Kym for sharing !!! (Gadget Girl)🥰🥰
Don’t forget kiddie is helpful😂❤
Great idea. Thanks.
❤ fantastic!
The cat is such a show stealer.
Thank you for the useful tips!
Great tips! Thanks.
Great ideas 💡 Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you ❤
Oh my goodness! Lots of good ideas here, but the *one* that I'm going to employ asa I can get down to the $$$ Store, is the liner under the "Foot Control!" I have carpet beneath mine--and, I'm constantly adjusting it.
I also like the idea of the clear Shower Curtain to use to "audition" freehand quilting designs on a quilt--such good ideas. Thank you!
I have the shelf liner and I also use a brick behind my presser foot. I covered the brick In pretty fabric that matches the color of my studio!
Be careful with sealing cotton fabric in an air tight container. I use the zippered envelopes but don’t seal them tight. Without air the cotton will develops a moldy smell that will not come out with washing or any other way.
I use the coated storage rack to store my accu quilt go cutter dies
I need that little trimmer but has not seen anything like that in my dollar store……
How long ago did you buy the 2 zipper seal bags?I went to my local dollar store and they did not have them. Please let me know?
This was a few months ago. I'm in Canada and got this at Dollarama.
When are you doing videos with the cm17
I've already started doing these and released one on how to update the Janome M17 just a few days ago. You can look forward to more videos on quilting and the Janome M17 on my channel.
I don’t see the video of the update for it
My bad - it's scheduled for May 30. I've already released an overview video of the M17 at czcams.com/video/9e99Aosw7N0/video.html
No worries… can’t wait.
The beard trimmer is life changing on black knit fabric with black stitches.
Hello mam i have janome 10k model i update to version 2.21 but this version hang my machine help me back my version 1.0 pleas reply
I'm not sure that you can go back to a previous version after you've updated your machine. You'll need to check with a Janome retailer to get advice on this (I'm not a Janome retailer or dealer).
Is the dollar store the same as dollar tree?
I was just using this as a generic term for Dollar Tree, Dollarama, etc.
@@Chatterboxquilts Thank you. I have never heard of Dollarama! I don’t think we have them in Ohio.
Is this from dollarama or dollar tree please.. ❤
I've got these items from various dollar stores in Calgary. I use "dollar store" generically.
Sorry but I cant listen for laughing at the cat. She's focused on what you have. Plus she does a great Vanna White impersonation😊😂
Oh yes, Salem is a huge help in the studio - not! 🐈⬛
@@Chatterboxquilts I have a cat that looks just like yours. She likes to help me with my crocheting; especially when I am winding yarn. I do like your tips. I do appliqué as well so the shower curtain idea will be great.
