Rules |
|
VERY IMPORTANT
Every group has rules that govern the way people interact in the group.
Sometimes these rules are unwritten, and you are expected to know them.
In our case, we have a written list which we expect all SCQuilter's to
read at least once.
IF you have any questions remember... email
the Moderators or email
the Guides.
General rules
- Include a clear and specific subject line.
- Keep emails 'on-topic' of the SCQuilters list, which is quilting.
- Edit any quoted text, that is, a message you may be replying to, to the minimum. Check to see what your email software includes when you do a 'reply to', you may need to delete parts, if not all, of the message you are replying to. Though sometimes it is helpful to include a sentence or two of the previous email to assist with continuity.
- When replying to someone make sure it goes to them PRIVATELY and not to the group - unless it is giving general information that everyone will be interested in.
- Do not send ONE line or 'me too' replies.
- Keep your tagline/sigline to NO more than FOUR lines which should also include your name/signature.
- Be careful about what you send. If written in the heat of the moment, don't hit the send button immediately. Think how the list, or individual recipient might react to the message? Would you say these comments direct to someone standing in front of you? Is it appropriate to mail the whole list, or just the individual? When in doubt about sending an email, go have a cup of tea, a drink, or save the message overnight, and read it again in the light of a new day.
- All mail should contribute to the group. A bit of commonsense is called for here. Don't ask for e-mail addresses on the list, ask the mods or guides. Don't send "Betty please mail me, your mail is bouncing" messages, ever! Especially do NOT start your mail with 'sorry to send this to the list, but ....', this shows you know you are breaking the rules but what the heck you're going to do it anyway!
- Don't send thank-yous for your blocks/swaps/angel gifts to the whole list. If the senders haven't sent a legible e-mail addy, you can assume they don't want to be thanked. Wanna know about a swap? Look at the SCQuilter's Home Page or the web page at Yahoogroups or ask the guides, don't post to the whole list. Thank yous for your angel goodies should go via the Archangel.
- Do not flame, spam or USE ALL CAPS. Flaming is sending unpleasant, hurtful, rude emails, spamming is sending multiple emails, and all caps is seen as SHOUTING.
- Do not forward chain letters, virus alerts, or anything similar that you might consider 'junk' mail. Viruses can not be sent by email, though viruses can come in attachments to emails.
- Do not cross post, that means posting the same email to more than one mailing list. When someone replies to that email that means we are getting mail from another list which can become really confusing.
- Do not send attachments to the list.
- Make sure your mail options are set to send in Plain Text, no MIME,
HTML or fancy fonts please. If you see:-
[Non-text portions of this message have been removed] at the end of your email that means you have sent something other than plain text. - SCQuilters email is not to be used for illegal or unethical purposes.
- Email is not necessarily private, do take care.
- The SCQuilters list may not be used for commercial postings. Please use the SCQuilters commercial list or the Scquilters Traders Newsletter. Business people may mention their business in their signature lines, using the guidelines in rule #6. You may write and praise a shop you have visited, but you may not do so if you receive any benefit, monetary or otherwise, for doing so. You may not advertise any business where you work, or which you own or obtain benefit from. You also may not advertise your friend's business for her/him.
- If you see someone breaking the rules please don't post to either them or the list reprimanding them - leave it to us. If you feel strongly about a situation please bring it to the moderators attention.
Consequences
If someone obviously breaks the rules, they will probably receive a reminder
message from one of the moderators, Michelle Watters, Dawn Scotting, Suzy
Atkins and Nola Archer. If you receive this sort of message, please remember
that these people are just trying to keep the list on track. Pause, reread
these rules and review what you do on the list before taking offence.
If the person keeps on ignoring the rules, their mail may be set to moderate.
This means that it must be read and approved by a moderator before being
sent on to the list.
Persistent offenders may be set to read only, which means they can read
the mail but not post, or they may be unsubscribed from the list. Generally,
this is a step by step process, giving people time to mend their ways.
However, people who send really nasty flames may leap to this point immediately!
Other stuff
Yahoo manages our list for us. Log into the website at www.Yahoo.com
and register as a user of Yahoo. This is in addition to joining scquilters.
Joining Yahoo allows you to change your mail options to suit your lifestyle.
As well as individual mails, you can choose to have the mails as one long
digest mail, or to read your mail on the web. This last option is best
when you go on holidays or will not be reading your mail for some reason.
It is not necessary to unsubscribe unless you are leaving the group.
· If you are experiencing problems please email
the Moderators. The moderator on duty will respond to your question
as soon as humanly possible.
If you don’t understand something you have read on the list, you can email the Guides. The Guide on duty will respond to you as soon as she can. The Guides are Fiona McClintock, Helen Evans, Stephanie McCarron, Henriette Wood and Chris Booth.

The vault |
|
The vault is a place where you can store photos, or documents etc.
OK - now, how do you access it? Easy peasy...
- Go to the scquilters yahoogroups page
- Now, assuming you are in and have put in your password as necessary... click on the vault option at the top.
- Now you will see an option to upload a file. Say, if I wanted to post a pic in the vault, I would go to the C drive on my computer - find the pic I wanted and click on the upload button. If I'm not sure of the name of the file I want, click on the browse option and you can tell it where to look. For ease of finding things, I always save pics and documents to a file on my hardrive called Fiona. Its on the C drive of my pooter.
- Make sure you name your document with a name that you will remember to make life easier. When you have found the document you want, click on upload file. That puts the file in the vault.
- Ok - so now your document is in the vault and you want to tell others
about it.
Once your document is in the vault, you will see it on the list of things in the vault. - Click on your document and it will open.
- Copy the URL of the document. If you document is an ad for your business
you would like to tell someone about, go to the signature file on your
email programme.
Make up a signature and paste the URL into your sig file. You could say something like "See my specials at http://www.... "

SCQuilters guides |
|
When you joined Southern Cross Quilters, did you find it all confusing?
Although we often remind you to read the Frequently Asked Questions, and
visit the YahooGroups vault, and read the SCQuilters home page, most new
SCQuilters find this all rather daunting - that is, those who read these
things. Most people don't seem to, or don't really absorb the information.
As new people join the list, Nola and the other Guides - Fiona McClintock, Jette Wood , Helen Evans,Stephanie McCarron, and Chris Booth, - will be there to give them a hand. Each new person will be greeted by a guide, and offered help and advice.
Some things guides will help with will be:
- Where to find more information
- What various SCQuilter mysteries like angels, BDFQs, and LOLs are who the Keepers of the Names are, and what they do.
Guides will contact all new people. If you need to write to a guide - and you don't have to be new to write to them - click here to email them.
Technical questions (how to subscribe, change YahooGroups settings, bouncing mail etc.) will still go to the moderators - Dawn Scotting, Michelle Watters, Suzy Atkins and me. Click here to email the moderators.

SCQuilters history |
|
In June 1994, Wendy Pang was a member of Quiltnet - a US-based quilt list. Thinking it would be nice to chat to Aussies, she collected the names of Australian Quiltnet members, and we started emailing each other. A year later, we moved to a listserver run by Peter Lewis, famous Mac software author, and son of Liz Lewis, a Perth Southern Cross Quilter. The New Zealanders joined us when we moved to the listserver.
We soon had a logo, designed by Leanne McGill of Darwin. Then Loz Lloyd,of Sydney, had our first lot of badges designed. We started swapping blocks,charm squares and more, and we haven't stopped since. We held our first(international!) retreat in Brisbane in 1998, attended by over 60SCQuilters. To go with that we have Tshirts, mugs and variations of the SCQuilters logo block.
Over the years, the most enduring exchanges have been Dawn Scotting's
Angel Exchange now run by Michelle Watters and the SCQ signature squares
exchange. New swaps/exchanges arise all the time, organised by whoever
feels like it.
The list grew and grew as friends passed the word around. Now, mid 2001
there are about 1500 members. Apart from Aussies and Kiwis in all parts
of the two countries, we have overseas Australian and New Zealand members
from London to Hong Kong and Denver to Jakarta. One of the most notable
features of the list, apart from its friendliness, is that people love
to visit each other when travelling interstate or overseas.
There are times when new members will feel a bit lost, especially when subjects that have been frequently discussed are referred to by acronyms,ie: S.E.X. (Stash Enhancement Expedition). However, just be patient and you'll soon pick up the jargon. Jump in with both feet and introduce yourself and there will be plenty of helpful members who will enlighten you!

Healing hearts |
|
SCQUILTERS often feel the need to support a member who is going through
troublesome times or celebrating some special event. We do this by making
Heart Blocks.
We ask that Hearts only be requested for a SCQuilter or their immediate
family
The usual dimesion is a 6.5" block (incls seam allowance). These
are usually made with a cream or homespun bacground and if specific colours
are required this is specified by the organiser.

SCQ logo block
A pattern for the Scquilters logo block can be obtained from the designer
Leanne McGill.
She will give you her snail mail address to send a SASE to. You can then
make up the block for your own use. Please refrain from making the block
for commercial purposes.

The Angel Exchange is a sort of secret pal thing. You register as part
of the exchange and then for a selected period you are a secret angel
to someone, sending them pressies once a month all the while being mysterious
about your identity. At the same time, someone else is your secret angel.
It's great fun. Watch the list for details. There is no waiting list and
you have to be quick to be in it.
There is now just ONE email address for mortal and angel emails to each
other. PLEASE put the relevant Angel or Mortal Number in the subject line
to make forwarding easier on the organisers.

Sewing room hints |
|
Please please please for the sake of your back include a cutting bench
that it the RIGHT height for you when you are standing - there are diagrams
in house design books I have seen- if I could have a sewing room, that
would be my first priority. A proper height cutting bench - an island
if I had the space, if not, then a bench against the wall WITH A BUILT
IN 1 and a half INCH GAP at the wall edge - so big pieces of fabric can
feed through behind if need be - also very useful when you are pinning
a quilt.
Apart from that the other thing I would love to build in is a design wall
and some good lighting.
- OzCaity in Canberra, Australia
I too am on quite a tight budget and needed to be able to organise a
sewing room cheaply. We were able to get hold of the discarded insides
of kitchen pantry cupboard made of particleboard and covered with laminate.
My husband cut a board that was free of holes to a length of 2.5m - it
was 1m wide. He then cut four boards to the height I wanted. (I am 5'10"
and have never had a workcentre the right height so 1m high was the best
thing for my back.) He then cut slits up the middle of these boards so
that two would fit together crosswise to lay the tabletop on. As there
was so much room underneath he was able to put three shelves between the
two supports for all my quilting books and fabric.I hope this makes sense!
- Sue.
Heaps of storage!!! I cannot over emphasise that enough. Also be carefulwhere
you put your cutting table. I had a lovely one built to my specified height
against a wall, and guess what, the light was behind me as I stood at
the table. I have since had to get a downlight installed above it. I think
that it would< be good also if I could walk all the way around it,
but that's personal choice.
I recently bought heaps of storage boxes at the local "Crazy Prices"
and Target. They are clear and some where the right size to store patterns
on there sides. I have stacked all these up and have put sticky labels
on the front, describing what's inside. i.e. Burda, Kwik Sew, etc. etc.
I also have larger crates with lids that I have stored plain homespun
in and white and cream homespun. I have those wire stacking baskets, and
my stash is sorted in colours in these.
I bought cheap chest of drawers, just white melamine, and my husband built
a bench, which I sew on, and these are installed underneath. Great for
the cutters and rulers, freezer paper, etc. etc. My only grumble about
this is that the bench could have been a little wider, it is only 50mm.
(600 would be ideal). I have a pinboard covered in fabric, behind the
sewing machine for pinning up the pattern I am sewing, and hooks along
above this that the scissors, loop turners, tape measure etc. etc.hang
on. (Everything is at my fingertips)
Hubby mounted bookshelves, again white melamine, on the walls and store
all my books on them. I bought cardboard magazine holders for my mags
and this keeps them tidy, most of the time! (that is if there not on the
bedside table, does anyone else do this?)
All this is a room 8 X 10 but it works OK! I even have room for an ironing
board and iron set up all the time.
- Maree
I was also going to send a suggestion to Wendy for her new sewing room,
but OzCaity has beaten me to it (for those who missed it, the suggestion
was -make sure the sewing table is the right height for u ). And (after
eading a few more posts - so has Marie - just got to have plenty of places<
to store stuff - I think I need Dr Who's "Tardis" (the blue
phone box thingy) to fit all my junk in ) Funny how often we all think
alike, especially considering how different we all are (and some of us
are more" different" than others ).
If I could have a sewing room instead of a sewing table I would have a
design wall and cupboards cupboard and cupboards.
I went through the same jitters when designing my sewing room a couple
of years ago. One thing I found very useful was an ironing board that
folds up nto a drawer. It is called Haeffle. I find it saves lots of floor
space.Also make sure you put in plenty of power points and book shelves.
If you are putting in cupboards with shelves, make your shelving adjustable.
- Lynne Done
I designed a design wall for practically nothing as I am on less than
a budget being a pensioner!
Buy 2 packets of picture hooks. Bang into wall right at the top about
18" apart. Hang old mattress covers from hooks, or if you're flush
with money, buy the cheap Chinese imported ones new (about $12.00) Pin
the edges of the mattress covers together if you're tidy, or leave loose.
Mattress covers are thin and the hooks just push right through. Use quilters
pins in a downwards stabbing motion - secure but easy and quick to move
around.
I have one whole wall done in this way and can get a queen size quilt
on it,nearly - some is on the floor) which means I can see what is happening
(through me peephole) before I make a mistake. I reckon this small outlay
has saved me hours of decision time esp for things like Around the Twist,
colour choices etc. What is more, there is always a quilt up there in
the process of being put together or waiting for a border etc. so the
wall looks good all the time. On mine at the moment is: House block for
Dot Ray - a bit more embroidery to do, plus door knob. All my birthday
blocks around 5 central applique blocks (waiting for a decision on the
sashing - 4 different bits pinned up) A photo of me at my birthday party
at Toowoomba Quilters.5 printouts of SCquilters swaps (I have to stop
some of these...VBG)a 9-patch block - tryout for next month,a miniature
quilt - finished a long time ago.And there's enough room left for a single
quilt!
I have a small plastic step from BigW so that I can reach the top of the
wall.
- Marion
You need a huge design wall big enough to pin up all the blocks for a
quilt,so that you can see the problems before you sew it together. I would
be lostwithout mine.
You need fabric storage - not shut away, but where you can pull colours
as you need them and a place to spread, really spread out everything.
You need a sewing table where you machine is level with the table and
there is a lot of table to the left and behind the machine = no drag.
You need light - lots of natural light - think of a skylight if necessary.
You need power points - I have 6 and they are all in use:)
You need space for ironing board - always up.
You need shelves for the junky bits - freezer paper, buttons, magazines
etc
I have a separate computer room, but you might need a corner for that,
in which case put in more power points than 6!
You need easy to clean floor covering - vinyl? tiles?
- Marion
I would recommend drawers for storing fabric. If you use stacked boxes
with top-opening lids, you have to lift the top ones off to get at the
bottom ones. Built in drawers are not easy, so I am replacing the archive
boxes with the stacking plastic (Sabco) boxes with sliding drawers. Much
better. Just make sure you get lots of storage and good lighting near
yoursewing area and your cutting out area.
- Kay Roberts
What a lovely prospect, I imagine you will have plenty of space (the
first requirement). You will also need plenty of light ( windows), you
can't beat daylight when the eyes get a bit tired.
- Suzanne
It'll be a lot of fun and hard work. You will ALWAYS think afterwards,I
should've done this or that. Try to get hold of a book called "DREAMSEWING
SPACES" by Palmer/Pletsch. I sell in my catalogue for $39.95plus
p/h but you may be able to view one at your local library. It hasabsolutely
dream sewing rooms like if you have a million to spare, butit also has
converted cupboards, under stairs, window conversions and a whole heap
of great ideas that cost near nothing.
- Judy Hall
There's a book available called Setting Up Your Sewing Space by MyrnaGiesbrecht.Published
by Sterling Publishing Co NY in 1994. I have it from my local library
but haven't really looked at it in detail yet, so don't know if it can
be recommended. It seems to cover most stuff though, lookingat the table
of contents. Lots of good storage ideas too.
- Nola at Epping
When I converted our daughter's bedroom into my workroom I found a sliding
door at a building demolition trader and DH fixed folding trestle legs.
I now have a nice big cutting table (which is absolutely covered in all
sorts with the obligatory 30cm square clear bit in the middle) and it
can be folded away (no chance!) if ever the room needed to revert to a
spare bedroom again.
Another idea I may use is to get a piece of that holey board that was
used for acoustic ceilings and stick bits of dowel into the holes to hang
up scissors, spike cotton reels etc. to keep that lovely big table area
clear VBG.

SCQuilters retreats |
|
The SCQuilters have a weekend retreat once a year where we can all get together and meet face to face. We have lots of fun not to mention workshops and fabric shop crawls amongst many other enjoyable goings on.
The 2005 retreat is being held in Sydney so this gives you plenty of time to save your pennies, maybe cut down on your stash a bit this year or perhaps, heaven forbid, sell some of your quilts!
