<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A friend pointed me to a lotion recipe on wellnessmama.com. She had given me some in the past as a gift, and I loved it. But I had run out so it was time to make some myself.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I used equal parts beeswax, shea butter and coconut oil (maybe a little less oil).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I mixed it together and heated until it was melted and then added a few drops of the oils I wanted.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The grass on the south side of the house has been slowing dying over the past couple of years. It doesn’t get a lot of sun once the trees on the west side get their leaves. Maybe the sun it’s getting now will help it grow. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And it</span>’<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">s under two evergreen trees. I knew grass seed would never stay put on the slope. One rain and it would all be a pile at the bottom. A friend had good luck with a grass mat like this and suggested I try it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I spent about an hour after work today digging out the big clumps that were still there so I could loosen the dirt and level it out. Once that was done I just wet it, put the mat down, and watered again.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I put up a new trellis for my clematis today that I have been needing the last couple of years as it was getting taller each year. The photo on the right is from last year where the old trellis only goes about three-quarters of the way up. Two years ago it got top heavy and the entire thing fell forward. So last year I strung some twine from the top of the trellis to the top of the garage for it to grab onto. It worked good but it was time for something better.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I saw this fabric and knew it would be perfect to make a small bag for my rosary. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was reading some quilting blogs and ran across this idea for hand warmers. I've made some neck warmers with rice in the past but never thought about making mini ones...especially with a quilt top.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKr3AcuHqahw-z0MrTy-FlmVPB2E2QYeE5nuODyjT0Jk_CWzE0uW5KV5rMzY1hHdsB4m7u_GzQsa4a-MvfQ04uiRvngQmve7W_JZN6HgBUMElW_BtEIr032VQKgMbhyugSHvf1z18JBiE/s1600/100_2257.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKr3AcuHqahw-z0MrTy-FlmVPB2E2QYeE5nuODyjT0Jk_CWzE0uW5KV5rMzY1hHdsB4m7u_GzQsa4a-MvfQ04uiRvngQmve7W_JZN6HgBUMElW_BtEIr032VQKgMbhyugSHvf1z18JBiE/s320/100_2257.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I knew I kept all those tiny scraps for a reason. I put a quarter down for comparison. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7k2we8eiiuwgppoq-t1sEMWAFonpsJRB1qv4q_FQ6PrXQYb0eiufgpz2MnPHNEP7UECSqB7DB0hD9sjYR6ff1kraDVtR_vG8yT59bipgl_vkSKPcQFkcRa2SJm0NUMXbk4xD-BJkSh1o/s1600/100_2258.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7k2we8eiiuwgppoq-t1sEMWAFonpsJRB1qv4q_FQ6PrXQYb0eiufgpz2MnPHNEP7UECSqB7DB0hD9sjYR6ff1kraDVtR_vG8yT59bipgl_vkSKPcQFkcRa2SJm0NUMXbk4xD-BJkSh1o/s320/100_2258.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I sewed up some half-square triangles for two of them, and scrappy tops for three more. I put a layer of cotton batting on the back and stitched in the ditch to hold it in place.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB8qwQwcgJNS6su2lWksrsRNc5zW98lIhfADuaokGI0D3-8UOfW9mF8WSH3HWzbOM5dJ1dU7hjOKnKUWtU0ZM4VKrDyHxvYCs1_aYZKRrJ7tsdKN3KwVXNHFifT1VRGhv2ubF-3PR4BU4/s1600/100_2259.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB8qwQwcgJNS6su2lWksrsRNc5zW98lIhfADuaokGI0D3-8UOfW9mF8WSH3HWzbOM5dJ1dU7hjOKnKUWtU0ZM4VKrDyHxvYCs1_aYZKRrJ7tsdKN3KwVXNHFifT1VRGhv2ubF-3PR4BU4/s320/100_2259.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I put the front and back right sides together, stitched them together leaving a small opening and turned them right side out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I used my lavender essential oil to scent the rice and filled them a little more than halfway. Just the perfect calming scent.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxVZc4yiYWXfqBHTjUXQZxntHtLkb-g3et3NN9EkE6liVltFVNDkdmD3a7qQprR4YOxJyOSlBrsXjG8QH8YafDL2K-LrJSGTkgVGyOadsiYw5KgDotzjuygIatpY6u-s95EMaMk0UsxK4/s1600/100_2260.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxVZc4yiYWXfqBHTjUXQZxntHtLkb-g3et3NN9EkE6liVltFVNDkdmD3a7qQprR4YOxJyOSlBrsXjG8QH8YafDL2K-LrJSGTkgVGyOadsiYw5KgDotzjuygIatpY6u-s95EMaMk0UsxK4/s320/100_2260.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Five finished hand warmers. Definitely not the best picture. Didn't realize it was bad until after I'd given them away and couldn't take another. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghROjeeYbGVGJ8Y22HcPX-mpKRunAcw1oOAqjwgjF9d8EuhjZ7HuOfu6FhuhrcO0Oy8LvinkLr9Al6Bq_lYTyVdW4iKb2M3MhZFrgHR6AEKH3n1KjTdMxfei-LhmvR5aU9BllO8J6IG1E/s1600/IMG_0883.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghROjeeYbGVGJ8Y22HcPX-mpKRunAcw1oOAqjwgjF9d8EuhjZ7HuOfu6FhuhrcO0Oy8LvinkLr9Al6Bq_lYTyVdW4iKb2M3MhZFrgHR6AEKH3n1KjTdMxfei-LhmvR5aU9BllO8J6IG1E/s320/IMG_0883.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They made the perfect Valentine's Day gifts.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This was a really fun project, and I definitely want to work more with minis. It just might be my next quilting addiction. The patterns are endless. I also saw ideas for pin cushions just like this but the filling is different. Some used crushed walnuts and others polyester fiberfill. I need to do some experimenting.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I had been seeing lots of zipper bags on Pinterest. They looked fairly simple and would work great as storage for my essential oils, makeup, and smaller items in my purse. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I made the first one in the same fabric as my sister's <a href="http://www.ilovesnowdays.blogspot.com/2016/02/birthday-tote-bag.html" target="_blank">tote bag</a>. After looking at several patterns, I used parts of three of them to make mine. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I sewed fabric tabs onto the ends of the zippers so there's no sewing into the seam allowance. Then each side with lining is sewn to the zippers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJKGJecT4oTGgdAvujIuH9i0wq3AzK9hy0PKK2qPfthCLPMZ3GJBXvG3PvY0ePMKKlZ4CY-mlNyjfTTUrVJCeUgQiYCNdNa8wEN0XquGanKefN_HbF1hyuKHUs_pGtccZWc_-BY8Vw3hw/s1600/100_2205.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJKGJecT4oTGgdAvujIuH9i0wq3AzK9hy0PKK2qPfthCLPMZ3GJBXvG3PvY0ePMKKlZ4CY-mlNyjfTTUrVJCeUgQiYCNdNa8wEN0XquGanKefN_HbF1hyuKHUs_pGtccZWc_-BY8Vw3hw/s320/100_2205.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I used coordinating fabric for the lining and also fusible fleece to add </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">padding to the bags. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The pieces of the bags are sewn wrong sides together and then turned out thru a section of lining that was left open. The lining is sewn shut and put inside the bag.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I made up a few to sell and then a friend of a friend wanted lots and lots so I made them up for her.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also made up some fabric holders for the oils. Each bag holds ten 15-ml oil bottles.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's been quite awhile since I made many updates at my house. Most of them happened within a couple years of me buying it. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDC3TdWNUH-gn36VfX8GLDjtAM-guT4EVHSPXuqHIguRpIjm4eyBTqrOfWqycYahVe3z8MV5Qfta5QFgIR3J4Jficxk765sH2dNDV-svMZMRIWOT_BxsEfE3aHdabq-RN2jar61-FH2Zs/s1600/BR1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDC3TdWNUH-gn36VfX8GLDjtAM-guT4EVHSPXuqHIguRpIjm4eyBTqrOfWqycYahVe3z8MV5Qfta5QFgIR3J4Jficxk765sH2dNDV-svMZMRIWOT_BxsEfE3aHdabq-RN2jar61-FH2Zs/s320/BR1.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But the bedroom carpet needed to be replaced, and it finally happened. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtVF7PnHXHERIepvhGQmKjbTRf-5R5TYuLQcpYJMdGNvCqn2rb3YuTP3jFsjlM1GKXJYlX30MxE9gfhPZYmaOehADL5-xBePWwqV1E7I9shi02BgYtlC10wDBDKBaQrYbcVE67IfRHSo8/s1600/BR2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtVF7PnHXHERIepvhGQmKjbTRf-5R5TYuLQcpYJMdGNvCqn2rb3YuTP3jFsjlM1GKXJYlX30MxE9gfhPZYmaOehADL5-xBePWwqV1E7I9shi02BgYtlC10wDBDKBaQrYbcVE67IfRHSo8/s320/BR2.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The installation took just a couple hours and he did a great job.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEriMlm6UAwReL-pNLIxJIUVMYVAHYJ4qEDzJeoQSn7ejT62riRS4zNDmCBUWv2s_dJ1h17PpSwG4LcRAtS7xFUPHPQ_EvfGI1QXJNvais69tzDyqG3YqLoTFjYu6kkoF6UgvcooMCYEg/s1600/100_2194.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEriMlm6UAwReL-pNLIxJIUVMYVAHYJ4qEDzJeoQSn7ejT62riRS4zNDmCBUWv2s_dJ1h17PpSwG4LcRAtS7xFUPHPQ_EvfGI1QXJNvais69tzDyqG3YqLoTFjYu6kkoF6UgvcooMCYEg/s320/100_2194.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I knew I wanted a light color and once it was down, I knew I'd made the right choice. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But now it really makes the living room/hallway carpet look dark and it has way too yellow of a tone. But it's in decent shape so it'll stay for now.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: start;">I had made myself a </span><a href="http://www.ilovesnowdays.blogspot.com/2015/09/tote-bag.html" style="text-align: start;" target="_blank">tote bag</a><span style="text-align: start;"> a few months ago. When it came time for Lisa's birthday, I decided to make one for her. I admit I picked the fabrics because I loved them, but I knew she would too. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: start;">It was much easier to make the second bag since I now had experience with adding a lining. </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A few years ago I made this wall hanging for my sewing room. I was going to teach myself to hand quilt. Well, after five years, I knew that I wasn't going to do that. I've started to do machine quilting on small projects, and I like the idea of faster compl</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">etion. And my eyes just don't</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> like to do hand stitching anymore. Binding quilts is enough for me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I blogged about it </span><a href="http://www.ilovesnowdays.blogspot.com/2010/09/wallhanging-for-sewing-room.html" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">here</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I found some fabric (really like the larger design) and then had to work with interfacing and fusible fleece. Since I</span>'<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ve become more of a quilter over the years, this was new too. Just had to follow the instructions....very easy.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And since then I've ridden down there three more times. Always lots of people enjoying the lake and park.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Saw two deer on another ride right up close to the trail. I also saw two cardinals and an indigo bunting on this ride, but they fly away too quick to get a picture.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And I think the best thing yet...a field of lilies. And this is only about half of them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ranking high up there with the field of lilies is the open country view back home.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was home last weekend and took my bike with me. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My first ride was a short trip</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> thru town and then out around the section. Those few miles were definitely harder than what I</span>'<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ve been doing on the trails. No wind </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">protection and the legs really get a workout. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can see forever out there though.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My second trip was also out around the section. I went further east on one leg and then when I got back to town I went north. Got about eight miles in.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I watch Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting every week. I've even got Mom watching it every so often.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pin or clip the pieces together and sew around the edges. I didn't get a picture of the next step. Open up the coaster in the hole in the center where the four fabrics meet and turn it inside out. This hides the seams.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today's ride took me on the Walnut Creek Trail and eventually to the Bill Riley Trail. It's in the opposite direction of yesterday's ride from the parking lot.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was the hottest day of the year so far so I headed out earlier than yesterday and took extra water. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This trail was fairly flat but a bit more in the sun than yesterday's ride. Still a good ride though. This was a busier trail too. I asked another biker if it was fairly flat before going too far. And he said it was so I kept going.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I rode down to Water Works Park and came to this bridge. I still can't believe I rode that far. Of course, the flat terrain helped...and the beautiful scenery. And it seems so much further when you're driving thru town to get to it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another good ride even though it was so hot. I was afraid I had sweated off my sunscreen and would have a horrible burn but it held up. Almost 15 miles today. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Usually I ride my bike on a trail a few blocks from my house. Today I decided to venture out to see some new sights. I loaded my bike in the car (not an easy task) and headed to the Clive Greenbelt Trail. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_DeQP66JqU93KkEjaiSB4Jkdil4OBmXZk0cHWD_1zdAkYIbBZabx_3YYwQewVR1bqSzPeeocIufhSVRaUZntH6hKsmSPPjM9Y6i-axQIwWOn2-dfiiVt7rVBacAnqOM_KoxlfsgCcWw8/s1600/Greenbelt1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_DeQP66JqU93KkEjaiSB4Jkdil4OBmXZk0cHWD_1zdAkYIbBZabx_3YYwQewVR1bqSzPeeocIufhSVRaUZntH6hKsmSPPjM9Y6i-axQIwWOn2-dfiiVt7rVBacAnqOM_KoxlfsgCcWw8/s320/Greenbelt1.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We got some rain overnight so parts of the trail were still wet and a bit sloppy. It seemed to have quite a bit of mud in places also, but since I hadn't been on the trail before I don't know if that's typical or not. It could also be left over from the 3-5" rains we got a week or so ago when many metro trails were closed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I knew that I would eventually come to 100th Street, but beyond that I wasn't sure where it would take me. So I kept going and came out by the Clive Aquatic Center (above) on 114th. And this is where I decided I better turnaround and head back.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Walnut Creek was full and moving swiftly.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This part of the trail at 86th Street was completely under water when I went thru the first time, but by the time I got back it had started to recede. I sure ended up with a muddy bike and clothes this time.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once I got back to my car, I took the Walnut Creek Trail that headed the other direction just to see where it would take me. I came to 63rd Street and this sign. I will definitely be trying some of these out in the future.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Clive Greenbelt was a great trail for my venture away from home. It wasn't too hilly and there were lots of trees to help block the wind. I got a little over 10 miles in.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I put the fabric backing down on some newspaper so I could use the basting spray and not get it all over the floor.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I had done a lot of reading about basting quilts and decided to use basting spray instead of pinning the layers together. I lightly sprayed the backing fabric and then put down the batting, making sure it was smooth.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used that for a while and then switched to painter's tape which is less tacky. I used my walking foot to sew and just followed along the edge of the tape, and I ended up with a perfectly straight line.</span></div>
