Tips from Nancy Zieman on BabyLock website. (Thanks, Margie Dotson!)

Binding Tip: Fan fold quilt binding and place it in a plastic bag. Tape the plastic bag to the table in front of your machine. The fan folding makes it feed nicely from the bag as itʼs sewn on the quilt. This keeps the binding from twisting and ending up in a knotted mess on the floor!

 Notions Tip: Slip a small piece of vinyl tubing (found at a hardware store) over the point of your scissors. It will keep the tips safe and sharp while theyʼre in a drawer or in your sewing bag.

This site has listing of quilt shows all over U.S.  Didn't check, but might have other countries, too.  Has information on starting a guild and other things as well.  This would be one to possibly put in newsletter or on web site.  - Margie Dotson
