The Posture Pleaser

This product is a lifesaver for me! If you sit for long hours sewing, using the computer, scrapbooking etc...you need this! Basically if you do anything with your hands in front of you for an extended period of time this will help relieve your shoulder and back pain.

Now I can't live with out it. I definitely notice a difference when I don't use my posture pleasure.

Check out the website...

I thought they only distributed to specialty stores, but I recently found out they sell them online at JoAnns. Right now they are on sale for $30

Pressing Tips

· Enclosed Edges- Pressed seam open 1^st before rolling shut!

· Use the point presser and Slightly favor the edges!

· Use a damp press cloth if you need more steam

· Press Nap or Pile on needle boards!

· DON’T Press over pins

My Bias to Brands

My experience has led me to firmly believe that part of your success is in the tools. Certain tools can make or break your project. I have come to realize that some name brands are well worth the money! (And believe me you will pay for them) These are brands I frequently use and love!

• Bernina-my sewing machine and my serger.
• Moda Fabrics- The best quality cotton quilting fabrics.
• Gingher Shears- Other scissors just don't "cut" it.
• Vogue Patterns- Sometimes high on the difficulty level, but always more polished and fit better than other companies.
• Rowenta- Awesome home irons that work like industrial steam irons
