Could you tell me what colour thread you have used for BOM. JOY letters. I was thinking light gray with blanket stitch.

Are there any fleece fabrics, that when cut, do not result in all the little bits sticking to everything. Also is there any easy way to cut fleece, I never seem to get straight lines. Thank you in advance. Diane.

I used a rotary cutter and seems ok. No fluff from polar fleece.

When printing the templates, some of the images get cut off a bit at the bottom. Does anyone else have this problem?
Michele replied: 23 Jan 22 at 12:28
Make sure that when you preview the image before printing you select the 100% or actual size. Not the best fit which on my printer is the default setting.

With the block of the month, is it best to quilt it with scribbles or lines after quilt is made or as you go?
Debbie replied: 18 Jan 22 at 16:54
It's not a quilt as you go, you decide how you'd like to quilt it when it's put together!

Hi halfyarders, please can you help me. Does anyone know where I can find Debbie?s demo of the cushion cover, made with no raw edges, ie. all the seams are enclosed. I watched it once when Debbie demonstrated it on one of her live shows, I have been searching through the YouTube posts but can?t find it. Hope you can help. Thanks in advance. Marilyn x

Was it the blue Festive Tree one ...it is on Facebook as Debbie shared it from SearchPress on 28/11/21. I have posted the link below but I don?t think it will work from this website format. https://www.facebook.com/SearchPress/videos/240028531416989/

Does anyone know what this is for? I think it came with my sewing machine. Thank you
Megan replied: 15 Jan 22 at 10:24
You don?t have to use it but I think you put it under your spool to stop it from slipping off the machine when sewing I think
