As the popularity of long arm quilting continues to soar, it’s clear that this technique is here to stay, establishing itself as a beloved practice in the quilting community.

If you're on a tight budget, consider looking for a used sewing machine. Many people upgrade their machines and sell their old ones for a fraction of the price of a new machine. Just be sure to test the machine before purchasing to ensure it is in good working condition.

The two needle stitch, as the name suggests, employs two needles simultaneously to create a pair of parallel rows of stitching. Typically, this technique is executed on a specialized sewing machine equipped with two needles and a twin needle feed, allowing for even and consistent stitching along both lines. This method is particularly popular in the fashion industry, especially in creating garments that require durability and a stylish finish.

The lockstitch sewing machine was first developed in the 19th century, with Isaac Merritt Singer often credited for popularizing it through his innovative designs. This machine revolutionized the textile industry, making it possible to sew pieces of fabric together faster and more precisely than ever before. The lockstitch mechanism, which interlocks threads from the needle and the bobbin, produces a strong and durable stitch that holds well under stress, making it ideal for various sewing projects.

Non-stick fry pans are a preferred choice when cooking on low heat as the external coating suffers damage when exposed to excessive heat. You could use non-stick pans for more delicate meals like crepes, eggs, pancakes and more. However, non-stick cookware cannot produce the searing effect, which means it excludes many of the more popular recipes.

Stainless steel cookware, being the workhorse of your kitchen, can be used for making pretty much anything, including steaks, pork, chicken, and braises.

A multi-ply frying pan with an aluminium core is recommended for the best results when cooking at high temperatures.

Frying pans or skillets have flat bottoms, flared sides, a shallow depth, and no lids. These features make them the perfect choice for shallow frying, flipping food, stirring, high-heat searing, or grilling meat at high temperatures.

How to clean: For burned stains, boil 2 cups water and 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar in the pan for 20 minutes, then scrub.

Skillet vs frypan, one of the most common debates amongst cooking professionals, homecooks, and the often confused layman. Some insist the frying pan and skillet are completely different. Then there are others who’d argue that they are interchangeable. But who is actually correct?

Frying pans have long handles and are often shallower. These pans aren’t designed for slow cooking or braising. Despite having flared sides, the pans are just slightly taller.

Cast iron pans heat up slower than steel and aluminum pans, especially if heated up too fast. However, they withstand very high temperatures, distribute the heat evenly, and retain it for longer. Cast iron frying pans can either be bare or coated.

Cleaning and Storage: After use, it is important to clean and dry the skillet thoroughly to prevent rusting. Proper storage in a dry environment and occasional re-seasoning will help maintain the quality of the cast iron over time.
