#beginner questions

I have several decades of extremely basic sewing and embroidery experience, but am just this very second getting into a tiny smattering of EPP and quilting, and I have a couple of questions...

I know the tape/ribbon edging is important for wear and tear and is chosen at least partially based on these properties, in addition to texture and touchability and stretch (or lack).

a) Is bias binding tape really just narrow bands of "twill" / "herringbone" weaving, or are these, like, colloquial names for some other industrial process?

b) does anyone have a roll of 1" they can thread count for sett or ends per inch real quick?

c) do we think that for felt-backed hand-pieced-cotton coasters I could just use a plainweave tape? like, any flexible cotton inkle band from stash or woven custom for the project in future? (the lettered band possibilities are like 🤔🤔🤔)

Buying your First Tarot deck and Where to Start?

The age old adage of “use what works for you” and “use what you are attracted to” had been beaten to death. As true as it is, I always feel the underlying basis of this question comes from someone looking for a bit of foundation as in– “Where do I even start”?.

I always like to make the distinction that are are roughly three camps of tarot that is typical as a “foundation” for people. These…

Hey there! Absolutely. Irish polytheism is not a closed tradition, and in fact family bonds forged by fosterage and adoption are often depicted as equally if not more powerful than bonds of blood in the mythology we have surviving to this day, so adopting the Irish gods as your own regardless of blood ancestry seems especially culturally appropriate to me anyway. ;)

Why are Basic Questions Important in the ESL Classroom?

At the beginning of each of my lessons I like to incorporate basic questions. I don’t know how many trial students I have had for my ESL class where the student has studied English for more than two years and they can’t even answer some basic questions about their age, school and birthday. Although some teachers may ask a question or two per class, if you have a visual aid it acts as a guide for the student to answer. Moreover, it helps to see the question written so the students can begin to understand question and answer patterns and less frequently mix up ‘Yes, I do. and Yes, I can. as well as Yes, it is. and Yes, I am.‘ These seem like easy responses but they are difficult for the first time learner.

The pictures help teach the meaning of each question. After a few months, I urge you to try to ask the question without the picture prompt to see if they can elicit a response from memory. Please Enjoy these Basic Questions for ALL LEVELS. All levels should know these but I like to ask these questions to preschool up to grade 2 and then review them very quickly with my older students. Just because your students are older, it doesn’t mean they remember ALL their basic questions so it’s a nice reminder. And please feel free to check out the other posts about all levels of printable question cards
