Hi I am about to cut out the Round Bamboo Handle Bag. And am confused !! cutting out the main fabric is it 12 inches high or 16 inches high? trying to work out if the side panel 6 " x 9 " goes along the short edge or long edge. Thank you a bit brain dead tonight.
Debbie replied: 20 May 23 at 07:17
Always width first then length, so 6" wide and 6" long, hope that helps!

What is the cream fabric for in the door stop kits? Thank you Lisa Cole
Lisa replied: 20 May 23 at 08:19

First attempt, found it a little challenging with all the layers and it?s not perfect, but useable.

Fab fabric. Well done

I have a whole bunch of decorative stitches on my quilting machine and I could use some ideas on what to use them on. The obvious answer is quilts but I could use a little more than that ????

Oooh all good ideas! Thanks Laura!

I want to do a version of Debbie's scalloped gift bag (link below) but with triangles instead of scallops. Is there anything I should keep in mind when doing that? I want really sharp points for my triangles. Thanks xx https://youtu.be/Pjlp2jcyf_E
Laura replied: 1 May 23 at 17:00
Seems a strange link but Debbie does achieve quite pointy bits on this crown https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9XBceu2VmzM Looks like cutting back to an 1/8? seam allowance helps to get the points sharp. Although you will probably want to change the dimensions Debbie?s You Tube video for Jubilee bunting does give some good tips on cutting triangles in H640 which you might be able to adapt for the top of your box.

I hate cutting and sticking bits of paper together. I would love a projector or even an AO version of the templates. Would anyone else like to see these, or am I missing something and they are already available
Sue replied: 20 May 23 at 10:50
A4 is not a worldwide standard - for example they use Letter size in US, but that is irrelevant. The projector/AO file could also be downloaded anywhere in the world and would have zero increase in costs. Posting things out? what would you need to post out. Projector file does not need to be printed, hence environmentally friendlier as no ink/paper etc is used. Why would it need to be reformatted? When the pattern piece is designed, I am sure its not designed as 2 parts on 2 pieces of A4 paper, but as one whole piece that is then "formatted" to fit on A4. To be fair, these patterns are not lots of pieces, so its not really a big problem (unlike some dress patterns that are 40 or 50 A4 pages ! I understand that its not a big issue and not for everyone, but offering a pattern in A4 and AO is fairly common these days.

Thank you everyone who answered my query re quilting rulers. I?m now the happy owner of a superb Olfa 6?x24? ruler. Can?t wait to start using it! Thank you all Judi
Laura replied: 1 May 23 at 17:12
I love using mine ?I do find it beneficial to stand up when using it to cut longer lengths of fabric as you can get more pressure on it then to stop it shifting.
