    I bought a big bag of fabric scraps at a thrift store a couple of years ago. I could see some pretty wool and what I was sure were fat quarters. The bag was $20. Bought it, dumped it out at home and in the middle of the bag was an entire quilt kit and pattern that had never been open and had the price tag on it. $135!!!! Plus all those fat quarters.

    I have a Dressmaker Sewing machine from the 1950's. The head is all metal. The cabinet has the style of the French Provincial furniture (but it needs refinishing). I bought it inside its cabinet at a yard sale for $5.00. It sews; but, it is not my go to machine. I never got into the stamps. Your grandchildren may enjoy tracing on that light box. I would use the light box to trace paper foundation patterns for sewing scraps into beautiful blocks. You lucky lady you. Someone at Goodwill goofed. It gives me hope that I may one day find something super wonderful at Goodwill. Congratulations!

    I use my light tracing box for Foundation Paper Piecing! Rather than guessing if you’re tracing it right, just do it over the light box! Helps for other types of tracings, too.

  • @NellieShannon-p9g
    @NellieShannon-p9g 3 місяці тому +3

    The light box is useful to quilters for tracing applique. The rotating mat is a big win.

    Yes, you hit the jackpot. I knew as soon as I saw the circle diagram on the front. As I recall they are more than $50. I also knew the lite box was over a $100 because it took me a long time to buy one to trace off applique patterns. A lot easier than holding the paper up to a window.

      Bone folders are nice for scoring quilting lines w/o marking your quilt w a pen. It just makes a slight crease that you can see just well enough to sew along. 🌟
