I recently bought a wooden toy train set and i would like to glue it down so my son will not move the tracks. I need some thing that can be taken up to allow expansion of the set. Any suggestions on what type of glue I should use?

O.K. this is a little hard to explain because I am a beginner sewer. I just got a new Singer 1507 and for my first project I tried to just do a basic straight stitch.The upper thread is nice and even but the lower thread bunches all up until it all gets stuck in my sewing machine and I had to cut it out and then rip out the stitch. I removed and reinserted the bobbin case and when I pull on the thread it pulls out easily. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I will admit that the instructions and diagram for inserting the bobbin were kind of confusing.

Where can I find stationery? I just got a letter and she used to cutest little paper...I think I write too much for those little sheets. Is there some kind of medium size? And where can I get those little 3D stickers? Target maybe? I'm looking for a store that I can drive to. I can't get things off line because my printer only prints in black and purple =/
If you have anything else relating to this, let me know!
And is any of this stuff 20 bucks or less? How expensive is stationery?

Can anyone help?

Anyone got any ideas?
Preferably an educational one - alphabet, numbers etc.
What colours should I use? How should I decorate it, what should I use?
Thanks, I will choose a best answer also.

can you dye the material stroller covers are made out of?
well it's not the cover it's actually the under basket part that needs to be dyed. i am not sure but the tag says it made out of 90% polyster fiber. can you dye this and it hold the dye or will it wash out?

I noticed that every time I use super glue to paste a picture down. Let it dry and then coat with the epoxy resin...the resin turns really yellow. I notice that it will do that with fast drying glues....

Do you know what is in the super glue that makes it do that? And what kind of fast drying glue will keep the resin from yellowing?

Thanks in advance. :)

I am just starting out and don't know how to identify fabrics suitable for dress making? What are key words to look out for? I'm searching hancock's site currently- are all of these quilting fabrics? Are there strict rules as to what certain materials should be used for? Premium, Kona, Wide, Laundered Cotton?? Please help me understand what to look for.

I recently started building scale models of classic cars again for hobby/relaxation purposes. I had an idea to combine pieces from a couple different model kits to make sort of a "frakenstein" cutsom looking truck (a cab from one kit, a bed from another, etc) but a couple pieces, namely the truck bed, would need to be cut a little bit to make them fit together.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could do this?

i have tried many crafts but have failed due to health making me be in so much pain So this is my last try at something i have come up with an idea of making homemade card that wasn't like the rest which has clay figures and so forth and you could have the clay figures with the same colour hair and clothes and style of who u want to give it to as a gift as the modelling will take alot of time to get good at
when i get good at modelling this would takes years!! i would want to start making Fimo key rings, earrings, brackets, Mobile charm small cake toppers not from Fimo though as that would cost us to much i would have to use my homemade clay IS IT WORTH IT? IS THERE A MARKET FOR IT? WOULD U BUY THEM?
