1) I have learned that $9.99/yd might not be too much to pay for Munki fabric.
2) Ottobre!
3) Being inspired is half the battle! I love this forum

These aren't tricks persay, but...the things that come to mind are learning about FOE, Ottobre, good sources for cotton knits, embroidery machines and digitzing.
* Cami's sew-along for attaching a t-shirt collar so it doesn't come out all wonky was a bit of a turning point for me when working with knits. Where is she these days?
Oooooh I have another one! Before coming here altering patterns in the simplest form- like hem length, got me all nervous. Now its a wonder I follow any pattern the way it is intended; alter, create, redraft!! -Thank you all AW sewingmama posters!

What is Ottobre? FOE? lastin? turn it all?
And what DO you do with a broken MaxiLock cone?
Stick around Nancy.
Ottobre - magazine full of patterns. www.ottobre.de
FOE - fold over elastic
lastin - clear elastic
turn it all - gadget for turning tubes the right way.
You call maxilocks 1-800 number, get the info, send the cone in, and they send you a HUGE box of thread. It is like getting a winning lotto ticket.
