    I did see them (back support) and thought about buying one. For a dollar is such a bargain, I know I seen them at other stores for $10. Think I will go back today, they had little sewing notions in a bag for a $1.00. I got a gift idea for a friend I want to put togethr.

    I buy the plastic kitchen cutting mats for templates. You get 2 big mats in a pack. They work great and are a lot cheaper than the template plastic you buy elsewhere.

    Yep, that is a great idea! I have bought their garden gloves for $1.00 to use for FM. works great! Also, I bought this big white almost clothespin look clips, great for helping sandwiching a quilt.

    I haven't seen any quilting books yet but I'll look more carefully. I did pick up some of their foam board and duct tape a couple of pieces together for a quick portable display wall. Just need to put some flannel on it and it's good to go. Right now I'm using it as a backboard to hang up projects to take pix of.

    I've also used some of their stencils for applique patterns.

    Back to the book, do you like it? It looks interesting. I have so many scraps.
