Please could someone help, I'm finally getting around to making the summer skirt with pockets, posted May 2022 and I was wondering do you cut the pockets on the bias or do you cut them on the grain? Thanks

Look what I have just made with my new Juki machine Has anybody who has a Juki machine had trouble with the top tension looping? I have checked everything and every so often it does it again. Sometimes it does rights itself during the same length if sewing.
Jules replied: 20 Jun 23 at 11:40
No worries Blodwen. I googled a couple of forums this morning and found a number of people who have had the same problem with other machines that have the automatic thread cutters so it seems to be an issue at times? Hope you can get round it. Good luck.

Hi I am looking for a permanent fabric pen to write a label for the back of a sew in label on a quilt. My permanent ink Sharpie pen bleeds on to my sample piece . Can anyone recommend anything for this purpose please. Many thanks.
Laura replied: 13 Jun 23 at 10:16
I use the alphabet function on my ( basic) sewing machine to make my sew in labels when feasible. Not sure if this is something you have considered if you have that function and if the size of the label allows.

Hi Halfyard members please can you help. When hand finishing binding at the back of a quilt do you use thread to match the binding or thread the same colour as the quilt? Thank you in anticipation.

Yes I enjoy it very much, I have a wide range of things I like to sew and don?t just stick to one thing but it helps me learn lots of skills. I have learnt so many more by joining the club! How about yourself? X

Morning all and Happy Saturday ???? Does anyone know if Batik fabric is quite strong? I was hoping to make some of Debbie's light-weight fold-away tote bags that close up into a little pouch with poppers from one the books and I thought Batik would be good as the bag isn't lined but not sure if will be a strong enough fabric?

It is working fine on my phone - I was trying to watch it on the tablet. Still doesn't work after a 'device maintenance' and a reboot. Never mind, I'll have to squint! ???? Thank you for your help ????

Hello all. I remember Debbie doing a dog walking bag with zips and compartments for items. Can anyone point me in the direction of it please?
Sue replied: 6 Jun 23 at 09:39
Yes Laura that?s the one, thank you. HYSC- it is smaller and more compact than the one you suggested but thank you too.

Hi all. I would like to make a picnic blanket from Debbie?s YouTube video, and wondered if the waterproof canvas she has on DebbieShoreSewing would make a good backing. Any thoughts? Or other suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Debbie replied: 13 Jun 23 at 07:36
That's a good fabric to use, it's easy to wipe clean and although it doesn't feel waxy it is actually waterproof!
