BOTM Present galore - I can't get the math to work in step 7, with the second present in the middle. I only get 2 squares, like in the photo. There should, in my world, be 2 more squares but according to the instructions there are only two 3" squares, one in BG and one in 2nd red. In the photo, the flowered fabric is my 2nd red and the white BG. What should I do? What am I missing?

I would love to make the exploding box and wonder if anyone has other ideas what to use it for? I don?t want to use it for sewing items.

Thank you Laura. Another great idea.

Hi members. I?m thinking of making a spare set of bedding for our motorhome . Could you advise me what is the best fabric for bedding? Ideally something that doesn?t crease too much because we don?t iron ????

Does anyone have any tips on how to clean a cutting mat? I recently cut a *lot* of velvet, and I've got hundreds of streaks of fluff on my mat that seem impossible to get out. Does anyone have any tips please? Or do I just need a new cutting mat at this point... (see pic)

I've used a rubber after cutting fleece and it worked

Hello, I am going to try the July 2022 project (Holdall) can I use a continuous #5 zip (with two pulls) instead of the two x 12" zips and if so would I need to adjust the fitting to maybe sew it in at 3/8"? Thanks in advance!
Laura replied: 6 Jul 22 at 20:54
Debbie used continuous zip and 2 pulls on the Sewing Machine Bag project that she did n here last year so I would think that it would work very well on the holdall. The video and instructions are still on here for the sewing machine bag so might be worth having a look to see how she fitted the zip and then adapt as necessary.

Please help, I know I have seen it somewhere by Debbie but now I can't find it. It is a wall hanging with pockets on a beach scene using appliqu? and free motion embroidery. It may have been in a book, but which one?

Thank you, found it now in my copy of your book!

Hi, I am going to make this moths project, the holdall. Can I use suede material, and do I need to use a suede needle?

I am doing the BOTM YUM there isn't any colours written for the antlers so I am doing them in 1st metallic same as the pudding as of pic, I hope this is right???
Sherry replied: 21 Jul 22 at 18:06
I've just started this block and have the same question. Like you Sally, I'm assuming 1st metallic although there's no reason we couldn't use another colour as they're not very big so won't use a lot of fabric. It's a shame every month there are inaccuracies or omissions in the patterns which have to be amended. This is the reason I don't start them straight away so have time for everything to be ironed out.
