7. Use pin curl clips, or plastic coated paper clips to hold binding in place when sewing it onto the quilt.
8. Save small pieces of thin cotton batting. They are great for wiping off cutting boards, dusting around your machine, or picking up loose threads from any smooth surface.
9. Another use for masking tape. Wrapped around the hand, sticky side out, it can be used to pick up tiny threads from a seam that you have just ripped out. I keep a roll of painter's green masking tape among my sewing supplies.

About Me
- Ada K. Moyles
- Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
- I am a quilter who enjoys sharing her passion for quilting through her writing and am a member of The Edmonton and District Quilters Guild and the Canadian Association of Quilters. I enjoy both traditional and modern quilting and always enjoy the challenge of something new and different. I've been making quilts for over thirty years, writing about quilting for over twenty and have been published in such magazines as "Quilt World," "Quilting in Wild Rose Country" "Quilter's Connections" and write a regular column for "The Canadian Quilter" called "The Light-hearted Quilter." My book "Crazy About Quilting; Confessions of an Average Quilter" was published by Whitecap Books, Vancouver, BC. I am always interested in hearing and learning from other quilters in Canada and around the world.
