Best Spatula Turner for Non-Stick Pans

8" Nonstick Frying Pan with Deep 2" Sides

I bought a little non-stick 8-inch frying pan with a removeable handle a few months ago.  The brand is Bobikuke from Amazon.  It has deep 2" sides.  I bought it for frying fish fillets, burgers, bratwurst patties and trying my hand at frittatas.  The pan also came with a short silicone spatula for stirring and flipping.  I am more enamored over that damn spatula than the pan!

Small 8.5" Heat Resistant, Non-Scratching, Silicone Spatulas

That spatula was so useful that I started using it for other things, but because I was always using it, it was always in the dishwasher.  So, I bought a set of nine silicone spatulas.  I started using one or two of them and stuffed the others in the drawer.  I use them so frequently, that this past week I opened the last one.  I use two at a time.  One for holding the food in place while I slip the other one under the food for flipping.  The brand is GothaBach, also from Amazon.

Mounting Ring Doorbell Video Cam on Metal Mesh Security Door

Image
 I have one of those metal security doors with mesh screen behind the bars.  I couldn't find any kind of mount for my new Ring Doorbell Video Cam that I bought on Amazon.  I also purchased a sturdy metal mounting box for it.   This is the doorbell I bought:   Ring Battery Doorbell Plus | Head-to-Toe HD+ Video, motion detection & alerts, and Two-Way Talk (2023 release) This is the mounting box I bought:  Anti-Theft Doorbell Mount for Ring Battery Video Doorbell 1/2/3/3 Plus/4/Plus/(2020 Release) I noticed the holes in the mesh screen were big enough to coax into accepting a screw.  I dug into my parts box and found two small screws with nuts that  worked with the box's mounting plate.  Here's what I came up with:

Best Small Iron for Quilting

Image
I have a shelf full of steam irons, and nearly every one of them leaks water on the fabric when quilting.  When looking for yet another one, I decided to look into a small iron for quilting, preferably one with a nice point for piecing. I've seen a lot of YouTube videos using this small mini steam iron. But, people kept ironing the fabric over and over and the wrinkles were not coming out.  No wonder, it's only 420 watts!  Additionally, there are only 4 steam holes on the sole plate. One quilter recommend the Rowenta Compact Steam Iron.   Best Small Iron for Quilting It has a pointy precision tip gets into the tightest places and flatten the narrowest seams.  It's perfect for quilting, but I use it for all my ironing. 1000 watts of power.  This little iron works better at getting out wrinkles and pressing seams on my quilting pieces than any of the other irons I have on the shelf.  In fact, even when ironing full yardage, this Rowenta small iron i...

Quilt As You Go (QYAG) Thread Trick for a Neater Quilt Back

Image
I've seen many quilt as you go videos where each block is sandwiched and quilted, but it's always bothered me to see anchored back and forth stitching, over-extended stitching past the end of the blocks, or thread nests on the back of the block. Quilt As You Go Videos The Sewing Channel has a 1 Hour Quilt As You Go log cabinesque QYAG design where each "log" in the quilt is made of 4" blocks and I got to thinking, when she sews a row, before turning the quilt to sew the next row, she doesn't explain what she's doing with her bobbin thread.  Does her machine have a push-button thread cutter?  Does she have to lift up the quilt to cut the bobbin thread?  The problem with machine thread-cutters is that they leave a little tail that needs to be trimmed.  Even worse, when you start sewing again, unless you hold the tails, you end up with a thread nest on the back. Here is another quilt as you go log cabin block video tutorial from Tulip Square. The Thread Tri...
