ThreadHeads Bee

I can't believe it's been been over a month since my last 
post, I've been working on multiple projects and guess I've been too busy
to notice that I have missed posting and keeping up with long distance and blog 
and quilting friends.
Well, fall has not come to South Florida yet, was told 
we only get a few cold fronts, we will see what they call 
cold fronts.


 Here are a few members of our ThreadHeads Bee Group
Kim, RoseMary(Me), LaDonna, Sam and Wendy and D.O.G. putting in
his two cents, and Lisa (not pictured) was
visiting her mom in Georgia.

Kim, Megan, LaDonna, Sam and Wendy

We get together once a month right now, this month we 
 made little pumpkins that could be used for pincushions
or just for fall decorations.
Two of us are from California, two from Massachusetts, 
one from Kansas and two from Florida.  Kim and I, both from Calif have sons in the 
Air Force.
Small world when you start meeting new people and getting to know them.



 Happy Stitching from South Florida

Air Bubbles on Interfacing

I was asked an interesting question about interfacing. 
How do you prevent air bubbles when ironing on to fabric?

Some of you may know or not, so this was my answer. 
First, I heat my ironing board by ironing on it.
Then lay my interfacing sticky side up on the hot area and rub it, till
all of the area is hot and the folds are less and is laying as flat as it will get.
Then I lay my fabric piece down. I DO NOT IRON, I press, starting in the left hand corner, and pick up iron and move half an iron length, till I get to the other side.
Go back to the left corner and continue until I am done.
This works for me. And take your time to press,
If there are any tips you have let us know.
