Hi everyone. I am new to Debbie's Sewing Club. I want to purchase a small iron like Debbie uses. Can anyone recommend one please. Thank you in advance.

I have printed the template for BOTM Turkey Trot and just checked that the print off was to scale. All measurements appears okay apart from the top line of the feather template. It reads that it should be 2.5 inches but my print off is only 2.25 inches. Has anyone had the same problem please?

Hi all - our editor has corrected the pdf - it was a typo as you mentioned! Please download the updated version for your records! HYSC

For the feathers do you add onto the top extra fabric to make the points or do you make the points with the existing pattern? Sorry for being so silly! Janis

Hi @Jilly Wolf, Our editor has amended the instructions to take into account your query - please take a look at the updated version!

I've just received this month's HYSC email and near the bottom where it invites you to save projects before they're deleted, is the Wristlet Purse. I've saved the instructions but the QR code at the top of them doesn't appear to be working - I get the message 'Sorry, we couldn't find that page'. I don't normally check to see if they work, but I did this month. I've checked some of the other saved projects with QR codes and they do work and successfully take me to the video so it's not the scanning app I'm using. Anyone else having the same problem? Thank you. Love this month's Armchair Caddy Project and looking forward to having a go at that one :)

Debs replied: 1 Feb 22 at 06:23
Thank you I have got that it?s the fabric needed to make the bag, what I wanted is the cutting measurements which are shown at the beginning of the video but Laura advised doing a screen shot of that bit, which I have done so thank you both I never thought of screen shot Debs

Hi Julie here, I?ve been doing January?s log cabin, could someone please tell me what the overall size is when it?s finished, it says unfinished 12 1/2? I?m hoping this is correct because mine going to be about 12? when I see the 4 section together, bit new to this Thanks in advance x
Laura replied: 31 Jan 22 at 17:45
Mine is 12 1/2? square when all 4 squares are sewn together. Each separate square is 6 1/2? which gives 13? for two. Giving the 1/4? seam allowance on both when sewing together will make 12 1/2 ? Think I have got that right (smiley face)

I just opened the package of bosal and it?s all lumpy with big creases. Will this affect the making of sewing machine mat
Debbie replied: 31 Jan 22 at 17:48
Jilly's right, a blast of steam without touching it with the iron should melt away the creases!

Hello, I?m a new member and very excited by the projects. I love making dolls clothes for my two younger granddaughters (one of whom is named Maddie) , as I used to for my daughter. I have just printed off the pattern for Maddie Rag Doll and her first outfit. Going through the day dress instructions carefully I cannot find a fabric measurement for the skirt of the dress. It says 2 metres of fabric is required for the outfit which seems a lot. Am I missing something. Your help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
Laura replied: 1 Feb 22 at 10:23
Perhaps pencil trace a picture of the face placing that you are happy with and transfer to the material so you have an outline for your embroidery. I remember doing this at school ( a long time ago) where you scribble over the back of the tracing paper and the pencil drawing will come out on the material. Hope this helps. Laura

Hi Members. I?m fairly new to sewing and finding even the fairly simple projects frustrating. When I start a seam edge off I can?t get the fabric to move on and it either disappears down into the machine or the cotton just accumulates in the same place. What am I doing wrong please. I?m trying to make the tote shopping bag but a quarter inch seam seems impassable. Help please?
Debbie replied: 31 Jan 22 at 17:51
If I have this problem I'll slip a piece of tear-away stabilser under the edge of the fabric so I'm starting to sew on that, not the edge of the fabric..
