Hi everyone I have some liberty tana lawn fabric and it's quite thin.. would like to make a cushion should I put some sort of fleece attached to it.
Debbie replied: 6 May 22 at 07:58
I's ude a light to medium weight interfacing, something like Vlieselene G700 directly onto your fabric to stabilise it, then if you wish you could add a fleece to the back of it as well to give it a bit of padding...

Hi can anyone please help I still have problems topstitching cork and Faux leather fabric all bought from Debbie, it keeps missing stitches. What am I doing wrong
Debbie replied: 6 May 22 at 08:01
try a longer stitch length, a walking foot wouold help, if you have a presser foot pressure dial then lessen the pressure a little, finally try a different needle and thread, hope that works!

Hello, If I make the skirt pattern from jersey do I need to cut on the bias? Thank you
Megan replied: 2 May 22 at 10:08
Debbie said with jersey she doesn't think you have to cut it on bias but she hasn't tried so wasn't 100% sure

I'd like to add a fabric loop inside the summer tote bag so I can clip my dog treat pouch onto it. Where (ie how far down?) and how should I position it in the lining?
Debbie replied: 1 May 22 at 15:46
I'd go about 2" from the top into the side seam of the lining...

A friend would like me to make a small dog carrier with a double zipped top and one mesh side. I can?t find any patterns suitable, as she wants this double zipped top. I could convert the tweed tote but don?t know how, can anybody help please.

Can anyone help I bought the batwing top but can?t find the download

For those who have made Debbie?s batwing top. The edges of my sleeves where the cuff would go don?t match. The back is bigger than the front. Have I cut it wrong? I followed all the cutting lines with my ruler & rotary cutter
Debbie replied: 1 May 22 at 15:47
You've cut it right, the difference between tha back and front help it to sit on the shoulders correctly...

Hello, I'm looking for a bit of advise please. I'm going to make a cross body bag with faux leather and rather than use webbing for the strap, I'd like to top stitch two lengths of faux leather together. Will the faux leather fray? Will it be too thick to make the way Debbie does by folding edges to the centre and top stitching? thank you. :)
Annie replied: 28 Apr 22 at 16:35
Thanks Adele, yes think I'll do that. The faux leather is from Debbieshoresewing.com and has a woven backing and I wonder if that might fray, but guess if I sew close to the edge it should be okay. Xx ????
