Niki replied: 17 Jan 21 at 14:01
Can you help please. Just started block of the month. After scrolling through here I found you which explained about the colours & strips. I asked question about cutting subsets and realised had to cut them 31/4 wide subsets which I have done and then stitched as it says in first 2 sentences. It then says trim these units to measure 31/2 ? but how can you if the width is only 31/4?? I?m very confused. Please help

When you download the patterns do they print out at the size needed for sewing or do you need to enlarge them. ?Getting reading to start sewing. ?Thank you.? ?

I'm not sure I have the answer for you but I would say that my walking foot jams in the upward position quite often, I wondered if it was because it wasn't a genuine Janome walking foot. Could this be the problem with yours? I would be interested to know too.

Sorry what type of material is Broadcloth please.
Debbie replied: 20 Dec 20 at 15:37
Originally made from wool, nowadays broadcloth uses cotton, with a tight weave to give the fabric lustre, generally used for shirt making. It wrinkles easily but has a very smart appearance. Hope that helps!
