Not sure what you have in SA, search for a firm interfacing and I'm sure something will come up... let us know if you find anything!

Good morning, could anyone let me have the link to the barrel bags yoga mat carrier video on Vimeo please, I've realised I forgot to make a note of it, the original pattern launched in July 2020 and was dropped off the website August 2021.

Hi everyone, Hoping someone can reassure me ? I treated myself to a DX7 which has arrived today ???? I?m only just starting to play with it but, in case I?m doing any damage, can anyone tell me if it?s normal for the needle threader to jump rather alarmingly from side to side in zigzag stitch? Just concerns me a bit. Thanks for any advice in advance.

Hello, I?m making the Multi-use candy, October 2018. I have printed, put together & cut the material to the pattern but when I?ve started the sew the first section the Flap width measures as per your instructions ie: 14.5? but the flap pocket measures 15?. Can you confirm whether this us right or wrong as watching the tutorial it appears yours are the same width? This is my first project with you & I want to get it right as it?s for my Mums birthday present to use on her wheelchair. Many thanks

Hello, has anyone got any tips on how to press seams to get that crisp look. I am making the ties for the curtains (June 2022) and my seams don' t look too good. I generally have problems with seams and pressing so any tips gratefully received. I iron the seams flat, which I understand is what you are supposed to do. Thank you in advance.

Hi I am a complete newbie to sewing and this membership and sorry if it is a silly question but how do you transfer?draw Maddie's face from the template to the material? Many thanks
Laura replied: 17 Apr 23 at 08:46
I did respond with this reply to someone who had this problem a while ago it may be useful to you?.. If you trace the face onto tracing/baking paper with a pencil then turn paper over ?scribble over the face features on the reverse of the paper (place on a scrap of paper when you do this as the original face could transfer onto the work surface). Then turn over with original facing you..place on the fabric for Maddie?s face and draw carefully over the features. The carbon in the scribble will transfer onto the fabric and give you lines/shapes for you to embroider. I remember doing this technique at school (a longtime ago) for transferring brass rubbings etc. Hope it works for you.
