I am not a coin collector but I recently got interested in purchasing some Morgan Silver Dollars on ebay. Up until today, I purchased 3 of these coins ( 1 for $ 9.50 + 2 for $ 12.50 each ). Today on ebay I bought a " lot " of 11 of these Morgan Silver Dollars for $ 12.50 for the whole " lot " of 11. The ebay coin dealer " ad " said these were mixed dates & were graded from F 8 to F 20. I can't imagine that I got " ripped of " at that price ?...but I was hoping that a true coin collector could enlighten me as to what I may have purchased with respect to these coins & also guide me as to what I should look for or seek if I purchase any more Morgan Silver Dollars ? Also, I ordered something called " Never Dull Polish " which I understand is okay to use to clean these coins ? I haven't received any of above 14 Morgan dollars or the polish yet; but it has also been suggested that I buy Black Ring Airtite Morgan Holders ? I would welcome any good advice or guidance ?

I'm making a quilt and I have some colors that I think are going to bleed really bad. Bright red, bright blue, and solid white. I asked one of the women at the store I bought the fabric at how I could prevent the bleeding and she said to soak the fabric in vinegar and cold water (apparently this sets the dye). However, I have done this three times and tested the fabric with a white sock afterwards, and each time the sock comes out pink.
How can I keep these colors from bleeding into each other? I really need this blanket to be washable.

Heres the problem, the bottom thread bunches up and catches in the mechanisms near the bobbin and this causes the needle to stop and stick in one place.
On the hem in looks fine on top but on the bottom there are bunches of thread all jammed into the hem if the machine doesn't stop and actually sews the whole line.
I need to finish my project in 2 days and I can't figure out what is causing this.

It seems like i get it to go fine when i am practicing on scraps, but as soon as i start on the project it bunches up and stops again. My scraps are the same fabric as my project, just extra pieces.

I am SO upset at my machine!!!
What is causing this? How do i fix it?

Hi everyone. I'll be working on a costume for a convention, and I wanted to put light blue flames and a dark purple border on the black clothing i will be wearing. I saw the Simply Spray fabric paint and I thought that would be a wonderful idea. However I noticed that it is meant for using on light colored fabrics. Needless to say I was rather peed due to the black clothes i would, at this point hopefully..., be spray painting. Is there a fabric/upholstery spray paint that can be used on dark colored fabrics, particularily black? Thanks in advance.

O and btw, no i don't just wanna sew on extra fabric for the flames and border. I tried that last time (*same costume design), and the costume was rather awkward to wear and heavy for wearing around all day. :-)

I have looked all over their site several times, but can't figure it out. I have considered e-mailing them, but every time I try that with other companies, I -never- get a response.

I make things (cards, jewelry and such) at home and sell them. Is it okay for me to make some things from LionBrand's knit/crochet patterns to sell?

I am going to start buying items that i think is intresting or valuable and re-sell them on ebay. The only thing i need too know now is that how do you tell if an item is valuable or rare, like are there any signs or marks on a certain item that might give you a hint to whether the item might have a decent value also are there any items that i should look out for when i am looking?
