Glad to have found this site.  I'm always looking for some hints and knowledge centered around fabric, sewing and dyeing.  Happy to be a member too.  Here's a small art quilt I made of Bob Dyan, poet.

Much like the rest of you I too have been really busy and keep forgetting to post on this sight but you can keep up with me on Facebook or on my general page here. Haven't had time to do much FM lately too as I have been using my new embellishing machine but do FM on top of the fabric I produce. Will try to take some pics this week and post them.

Hello there, Marion.
Sorry you have arrived while it is all quiet here. Speaking for myslef, I have been rather too busy to post here.
What do you love about FME?

Hi: New here. New to FM of any kind. Trying to get started on this stuff. I have been reading your comments. I appreciate your knowledge. I have just started with FM, and no so much E. But it looks like something I would like to try!

Hello Jackie,
The trouble I find with FME is that I get obsessed with small pieces of anything. Last time it was scraps of fabric. I don't think you can really be a bit obsessed.....well, I know I can't................

As a FME I am very please to join in with this group. I work a lot in layers and unless framing up would advise cutting your top layer slightly bigger than the rest if shrinking. Also always start machining from the centre of your work if you are just sewing fabrics together intially.I have a Bernina 1000 which I use all the time for free stitching.

Yes Evie-happens to me too. Noticed when doing latest fabric postcards. Thought it was just nature of FME.I don't use a hoop. I "fix" interfacing underneath-stiff one, then thin batting.My FME projects relatively small-postcards, small wall hangings.I love my B to death!!Give it a hug every day(this is amazing as I used to be "sewing phobic"!!!
