I too want to wish everyone on here a wonderful Thanksgiving today (that is if you live in the US). My dh is not much of a turkey guy so we are having steak. I'm going to finish making some blocks for a row robin that has to go out in the mail next week so over all it should be a good day.

I'm counting on seeing pics of some wonderful pillowcases soon! The first 2 that I made w/this method were for my friend Michelle & her dh for Christmas. They love cats & dogs so I found this really cute fabric w/cats on it & used it. They both had such a good laugh & said no one had ever made them pillowcases before.

Barb & Janet - THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH! I'm sure - eventually - I would have figured out the instructions for "hot-diggitty-dog" ... but, your "help" has sure cleared things up for me! THANK YOU BOTH! Hope you ALL have a WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!

The pillow case project sounds fun -- I've downloaded and will give it a try next week. Barb, really liked those you made and I studied your pictorial on how to -- thanks to you and Janet I should be able to "whip" them out. Will let you know how they turn out.

I learned about this method while working at a quilt store in Las Vegas. The 1st time I used it I made 2 pillowcases in 45 minutes. Just recently I retyped the directions to make them a bit clearer, but once someone does it this way I doubt they ever go back to any other method.

Thank you to both Barb and Janet for helping me with the pillow cases. I will be sure to try this method after the holidays. I'll let you know how it goes.

WOW Janet - your directions are almost identical to the ones I sent to Nancy earlier!! Then I posted the pictures for those that need a visual!! Now I guess I should post a visual for those that would like to "embroider" the cuffs first!! Keep you eyes here Patricia - tomorrow I will post that tutorial with photos!!

Oh good, it worked! LOL If you have any questions Nancy don't hesitate to ask. I'm sorry I don't have any pics, but if you follow this step by step I think you will do alright.

Nancy, this is the same method that I call the "taco roll method". I'm going to see if I can attach a copy of my directions. Hopefully this will make this a bit clearer for you.

I hate to admit it, but I've had my Bernina 440QE for 5 years now, and I don't know how to use the embroidery module yet. I'm not sure how to place the fabric in the hoop or what stablizers to use on what fabric..Boy! do I need help. I would love to make the pillow cases for my granddaughter's with their names on them..I know they would love them!

I must be a slow learner. I googled hot-diggity-dog method and a site came up with a pdf file that explained the process but I don't understand it at all. I think I need a few pictures or maybe this site doesn't explain it properly. Did anyone find a site with pictures?
