Not sure where to put requests for future sewing projects I am wondering if Debbie could design a ?blue badge holder? using clear vinyl
Karen replied: 29 May 22 at 14:12
Why? I am a blue badge holder and keep it in my handbag when not in use in like a drawstring bag then pop it out to put on dash, you got to have it on show as how they send it to you is my understanding so traffic warden will see what it is otherwise if not show property you will get traffic fine !

Has anyone been able to order any of Debbie?s books via Searchpress , delivery to Canada? It won?t accept the 30% discount code either.
Julie replied: 10 Jun 22 at 19:24
Hi Anne, I did find them on Amazon but as I want to order a few of them I thought the 30% discount vis searchpress would save me quite a lot of money. Thanks

Dear friends. The grand children's (age 2, 3, 5 &7) beds have arrived. They are two singles stacked on top of each other. which is great because they are out of the way in the room where I sew. During the day. The uncovered quilts will be on top and I think it would be good to create a day bed/sofa with them especially as grandchildren only visit occasionally. Perhaps a fabric throw to keep it clean? What would you do?
Laura replied: 24 May 22 at 18:57
You can put wadding between fabric and do free machine embroidery quilting or machine line quilting and then bind the edges, but I would think that is quite a big piece of work. You would probably want to do some smaller pieces to practice first. Debbie has some coloured quilted fabric that you may want to look at...you would still need to bind the edges. In the meantime you could cover the beds with a double/king size flat sheet or duvet cover and make some pretty cushions so that you see a difference very soon. You may have tried it already but If you want to practice quilting and edging Debbie?s heart appliqu? sewing machine mat on You Tube is a great starting point. Hope this helps.

Does anybody have the same problem as me? I seem to create a lot of static and would normally avoid synthetics. Is there any fabric that I should avoid, or any that I should particularly use, I would like to take advantage of all the modern fabrics the colours are so lovely. Thank you.
Debbie replied: 25 May 22 at 06:09
I've only had this issue with polyester and poly mixes, so I'd suggest viscose, cotton, linen, rayon or any natural fibres to prevent static...

Hi, I?m watching the shirting video and try a test piece but going wrong somewhere . I?ve lengthened my stitch and put tension on8. When I sew it gathers and so stitch to end of row and I do a couple of back stitches at the end to hold the elastic and cut thread/ elastic but then when I stretch the piece of fabric the elastic pulls out of the stitches, help pkease!
Debbie replied: 25 May 22 at 06:10
Try tying the ends of the elastic to the thread, you'll need to pull the thread through to the wrong side first...

Can anyone help I am doing June's block of the month. I cannot for the life of me get the background fabric to match the quarter circle . I have snipped into the circle but each one is short. I am new to this. Thank you.
Lavinia replied: 11 Jun 22 at 20:49
Thank you everyone . I have unpicked again and gone with Lorraine's idea and pinned them it seems to be working better for me. I will hold my breath until I have sewn them and put the block together. Thank you Debbie for your demonstration this morning. Can't thank you all enough for your replies. I was nearly defeated. Xx

Hello all this question is more to do with setting-up spare bedroom, please could anyone help me with this question when looking at YouTube sewing room some people have their sewing tables under their window others have them against a wall, and some people have theirs in the middle of the room,(my room is not big enough for option) my question is which is better against the wall or under the window? if anyone can help thank you.
Lesley replied: 25 May 22 at 17:28
Laura, I think it depends on what you are most likely to be sewing. As I make a lot of longer items, curtains, table cloths etc, I would not have the table up against a wall because I would need to be able to drop the fabric over the back as I sew. Sorry, that is a bit confusing! Lesley G.

Debbie-Do you think you could make a video for a dog lead collar and possible a harness too?
Debbie replied: 22 May 22 at 09:52
Difficult as it would have to fit the dog, I'll put it on the list!
