LarryEA Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 Welcome Barbara, I also find that most people have no idea what a scroll saw is. Actually, I prefer it that way. You said, ' I am new to scroll saw...' but did not say how new. You may want to check out the post in " General Scroll Sawing " " Blades for New .... Lots of information and fun. Stop in the Coffee Shop each morning Larry Quote
Phantom Scroller Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 Hi Barb a big WELCOME from me. Don't worry your in the right place to learn loads and feel free to ask any questions. Roly Quote
Rob Roy Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 Hello Barbara, I'm Roy from Scotland, welcome to the village. Have a wander around and see what's going on. Any questions you have just ask. In fact if you ask one question you will get about ten answers. Making tea and coffee is a prerequisite. You'll also find you become addicted, and unfortunately there's no Betty Ford drying out clinic. So come on in and enjoy. . Watch out for Larry, he usually locks the tea and coffee cupboard!!!!! LOL.

heppnerguy Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 Welcome Barbara, Marg is correct and if my memory serves me correctly, ( and often it does not ) I think that Sue Mey's web sight is www.scrollsawartist.com she has many very beautiful pattern that she sells as well as a few nice free ones too. But if you are interested in obtaining some free patterns to have ago at, this is where you will mind a huge amount available and awaiting you. You have just stumbled into a vast amount of talented and not so talented people that make up our family. Here you will find some with many ,many years of experience in scrolling to some , like you who are new to it. There are many great pattern makers and some, like myself that try to make one every once in awhile. Tell us about your experience and your saw and post any photos you may have of anythng you may have made. We love them all. compicated to very simple. We have all been where you are and understand problems of almost any kind because we have personally had our share of them.
