Hi HYSC Admin I watched the replay of Debbie?s video of the block of the month live this evening and I think the segment of applying the medium triangle has been deleted as Debbie goes from applying the small triangle straight to the application of the large triangle. This omits the medium triangle finished square which should measure 4 3/4?. I think members may be getting confused when watching this as a tutorial. Please could this be checked.

Hi Laura, I'll double check this and get back to you, may be next week but I'm on it!

Hi all, can anyone enlighten me as to why my self healing cutting mat has very tiny threads of fabric in it in lines from where I have cut and you can see where the rotary cutter has been. Am I cutting too many layers at one time, pressing too hard, is it to do with my blade needing changing ? Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved, I'm ruining my mat and they aren't cheap are they. Thanks

Yes I use an old mat for cutting fleece, interfacing and wadding. I also use a rubber to get those fibres out then pour some water on it and rub around with my hand let it soak for a while and give it a good rub with a cloth and dry it off. The water helps with the healing but it won't ever be like new you will still see those lines.

Hi yes thankyou barb I have played and replayed Debbie making the block I will try again tomorrow I must be missing something
Laura replied: 9 Feb 24 at 22:26
It should measure 3 1/2? when you add the small triangle to the initial square (step 2 & 3), then should measure 4 3/4? when you add the medium triangle (step 4) and then finally 6 1/2 ? when you add the large triangle (step 5). So three lots of triangle in total. I had a go this afternoon and it worked ok.

Iam working on block 2 and with the prairie points I love how they go together but are they meant to be longer than the boat block and I then trim them off to fit the top ?
Laura replied: 5 Feb 24 at 08:14
The extra length will probably be tucked under and into the seam when everything is sewn together

FAO: HYSC - I thought you had made changes to the website to show more than just nine photographs of members' project makes, but it appears not. As there are now so many more members it would be nice to see more than just nine and some will be missed as they drop off once new ones are added. Can we have an update please? Thanks
Sherry replied: 10 Feb 24 at 14:50
Thank you HYSC, it all looks fine now, much appreciated:)

Can anyone recommend a glue gun suitable for the rose table center piece and similar projects? All the ones I've used have been crappy and never work so I could use some advise on what to buy.
Amanda replied: 2 Feb 24 at 20:37
PS. I know you can use regular glue like gutermann but I'd like a glue gun :)
