Hello, when I do reverse stitch on my gorgeous Janome machine I often get a little jumble of threads on the lower fabric side. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong and help me to do it right pls.

Got some faux leather which has been tightly folded around a card and therefore very creased/marked along folds. What?s the best way to get rid of fold lines? I have unwrapped it and laid it flat but not made much difference. Can it be ironed on the back? Thanks
Debbie replied: 27 Apr 22 at 18:03
If it's one you bouoght from Debbie Shore Sewing it can be ironed and steamed from the back, if it's another brand I'd suggest testing a little first...

Hi all, I used the 505 temp adhesive spray to attach cotton fabric to wadding and I have been left with marks on fabric look like water marks, I thought when it dries it would go. Any ideas, did I do something wrong? Will it need to be washed to get rid of then? Thanks
Debbie replied: 27 Apr 22 at 18:04
Spray the wadding not the fabric, and spray from at least 8" away to avoid staining, although it should easily wash out...

Hi, can anyone help please. I'm making up the Penguin Doorstop that I downloaded a while back. I printed the templates & cut the fabric, followed the method but when I've got to join the front & back panels, the front is .5" longer than the back almost. I've gone back to the paper & that's the same, as is a reprint. Also, from how it looks now, the head opening is much smaller than the body opening. Does anyone have any pointers to where I've gone wrong ? My guess is the printing but there's no check square on the pattern I've got to confirm that. I'm making it as a memory item so my fabric stock is limited so I've stopped making it until I can work this out. Any ideas welcome. Thanks very much, Helen.
Debbie replied: 28 Apr 22 at 08:44
Must be your printer, the patterns measure 7" long and the neck opening is 3" on the back pattern and 1.5" on the front, the head should measure 6.25" across the width, to be honest even without a scale square the pieces should have printed out proportionally... could you attach a photo of your print out please? And it may be an idea to make one from scrap before using your precious fabric, a pengiun tiole!
