Here's a Tip!

I'm fairly certain other people have done this but again, good ideas should be widely distributed, no?

Linda Kay does this to her books and I find it to be a terrific use.

When you get home and thumb through a new paperback quilting book, you will find (probably) several designs you want to make, but the book closes and you prop it open with whatever you have handy, right?

Take that book over to Office Depot or Kinko's and have them trim off the binding and spiral bind it for you.

How easy is this and what a great idea!!! The book is then happy to stay open and you can easily photocopy any patterns that you need for projects without that awful distortion we get from that bend in the middle.

Thank you , LK!
