That makes sense I did wonder when I cut the fabric, I had to look on YouTube and follow some videos then it all made sense but struggled with the instructions, but think I?ve cracked it now???? . Thanks for the help

I'm trying to cut large piece of fabric for a tablecloth. Just a simple rectangle but no matter how I go about it, the cutting is uneven. I use a quilting ruler and rotary cutter of good quality and they work fine with smaller pieces but as soon as I'm cutting something longer than the ruler, I struggle. Please help I feel like I'm lacking a basic sewing skill.
Laura replied: 15 Sep 23 at 17:14
Have you read and viewed Debbie?s HYSC tip section on using cutting tools here https://www.halfyardsewingclub.com/tips/rotary-cutting I think the main tip about cutting the selvedge off in a straight line and then using that line to square your fabric by folding and using the cutting mat and ruler grid to help was my main take away from the video. I hope this helps a little.

Hello, I am making the fold up Advent calendars and on the instructions it says ?you may quilt the top if you wish?. Does that mean making the criss cross lines across the top or sewing around the snowman , trees etc. Individually?. Thank you as always. Also, I have been a member for a couple of months now. Should I expect anything in the post or is the monthly package on here only? Thank you

I have made the pin cushion. My inspiration was a sewing machine I found in Stamford charity shop, a Jones machine circa 1901. Every year they did different decoration design so it can easily be dated. I used a canvas and wool fabric. I glued some small penny washers together that just fitted the dowel and glued them in the cup and glue the dowel through them and then placed more penny washers at the bottom of the cup before filling the same design fabric with filler into the cup. The cup was a white one that I received for a birthday with flowers in. After painting i decoupaged with some rice paper I had printed and fussy ripped out the roses and stuck them to the cup. A birthday gift that now keeps on giving in my craft room. Thank you Debbie and Kimberley for the design. Xx

@HYSC on 9th September the third item on the bullet list is still says 2?in (6.75cm) squares. 6.75cm converts to 2.657 inches. This is a really challenging block for beginners and I would be so grateful if someone says what the measurement should be in inches? There have been quite a few questions on this, I have trawled through back to 1st September and the instructions still haven't been rectified
HYSC replied: 11 Sep 23 at 11:06
Hi Bev, thanks for your response. The instruction documents have now been updated, and we can confirm that the measurement in question is as Laura has stated above: 2 5/8 in. All the best, HYSC.
