Quick Reference

- A big thanks to Don (Blindstitch) for the huge amount of work in creating and maintaining the quick reference list on the forum. Without it, this Wiki might never have been started. It is the Primary resource in getting things started here.

Notes to other Wiki members.

- Forum usage specific guides have been removed. Some things should be moved/copied to the appropriate wiki page, such as the FAQ page or turned into an article.
- This list could also use sorting into categories.

Shep's site address hosting Blindstitch's stuff has changed to here.

If buying from Canada and the order is a small part; call John to see if he can give a better rate on the shipment.
