Are there and tutorials for block of the month 2025
Debbie replied: 5 Jun 25 at 08:16
Did you mean videos? I'm afraid not, just written instructions...

I bought Debbie's smocking panels, is there a video tutorial? I have looked at the diagrams but am not finding these helpful, I need to see this in a video tutorial, like a lot of people I am a visual learner. I would be grateful for some help.

Hi - are there any projects or videos involving Sashiko or on Manx quilting by hand ?
Crazyjaynie replied: 5 Jun 25 at 22:02
Thanks Anna and Debbie , much appreciated, I’ll definitely take a look . I love learning new crafting skills and enjoy a healthy mix between hand and machine sewing. I’d also love to explore photo paper on fabric for memory quilts and fabric pencils where you can draw your own sentiments etc . A section on this might be useful too ( apologies if it’s already on the site im still navigating my way round ) Many thanks again .

Hi everyone. I have tried to redeem my code for our offer. I get the message below. My membership doesn't expire until next year. Please note that if you are on an Annual membership, and have a 24 month gift code, you will need to wait until your current membership has expired before applying your code. You currently have an existing trial or gift membership, please wait until this has expired before you apply a gift code. Is this correct?
barb replied: 3 Jun 25 at 11:51
scroll further down the questions. . this is from hysc Hello everyone! Thanks for bearing with us! If you have bought a Sewing Street subscription and are on an existing ANNUAL membership the code application is unable to process immediately, so instead we ask you to cancel your existing annual subscription, then when prompted when you log back in when it ends, to put in the code and redeem it. Thanks for your patience!

Pick something you want to make rather than perhaps feeling you need to make something. Make one block from a quilt and see if you enjoy that’ll

My payment for another year and my order for the 2yrs has over lapped one another. Can I get my money back for the 1yr one or not?wud I need to apply for it or would they just know from the accounts folk? I have almost all Debbie's books if any are already bought can we request others?
Su replied: 5 Jun 25 at 19:23
I sent a message about the books, as I have most of Debbie's books requesting the half yard winter collection and no other, they replied that they have no control as to the 3 free books sent. I have build a bag backpacks and refashion books both I already have got and have put a plea out to swap my 2 books for the one am looking for .

Any ideas why my top thread breaks whilst trying to learn freemotion embroidery?
Laura replied: 2 Jun 25 at 11:29
Apart from the normal things that you will probably have checked eg feed dogs lowered, stitch length to zero, machine and bobbin threaded properly 😊 I wonder if you are using a special thread that is too big for needle eye and whether it is catching on the spool anywhere. Some specialist threads like to be upright rather than sideways so try your upright spool holder 😊. Debbie has given some advice on free motion embroidery in the tip section so that might be useful . Hope this helps 🤞

Question for whoever manages the countdown clock on the website: If it’s 1600 UK time, what time is it in London? Is it 4pm?
Laura replied: 1 Jun 25 at 09:05
Not sure about the clock issue ..might need some testing by HYSC as it does count down in the UK. It is necessary to refresh if you have logged in early and a few of us had issues yesterday and had to log off and then log on again to watch the live. I hope it is better for you next month.
