Hey, I have been making all kinds of ATC's for my workshop this weekend. I decided I would really enjoy trading some of them. Afterall, that is what it is all about. So, here they are in all their glory. The first three responders who say TRADE in their comment....will get one of these three cards. I would also like to hear if anyone has a collection of ATC's and how they keep them. Do you keep them in a box? Did you make a box to store them in?

What else can you tell me about your experiences with ATC's that might help me with my workshop this weekend? Thanks for participating.

You can also tape your foot with scotch tape-but the teflon foot was like 3.00 and well worth it. You will also want to do some trials on some pieces of the fabric (vinyl) that you are going to use to test out the tension and stitch length. Apparently, the weight of your thread is important, and you wa...

Very interesting! Really! I'm impressed!
I only have a few ATC's (20) and I keep them in mini zip lock jewelry bags.
