I have completed Maddie Romper Outfit and it?s huge. Has anyone else encountered this with this pattern?
Moz replied: 16 Feb 23 at 06:35
Just a thought. Is ?your? Maddie from a template you printed from Half Yard club or from the printed template at the back of the Maddie book. I had an original Maddie and made her the rompers from the Maddie book. They were huge - had to trim about two inches off the legs . It was only when I made Maddie from the book template I realised the template I printed out on my printer must have been wrong size as my new Maddie was much larger and the rompers from the book fitted perfectly.

Hi, I?m making my first quilt and was just wondering if it?s better to use a plain cotton or patterned for the backing?
Laura replied: 13 Feb 23 at 09:29
A patterned fabric would be a little more forgiving for wonky stitches on the back if it is your first quilt and you intend to do free motion embroidery etc .

Hi. I need to buy a continuous zip, unfortunately Debbie is out of stock, and I?m not sure where to purchase. Also do the zipper pulls come with the zip or do you have to buy separately. I?ve noticed zipper pulls on the internet stating a size so I?m feeling unsure as to what to do.

Thankyou to all who have replied. So helpful. I can now purchase continuous zips and pulls with confidence. ????

Thank you Laura. I?ve managed to get Maddie?s face traced. Your suggestion was very helpful. The outline was still pretty feint but I went over it with erasable pen so hopefully I?ll get on ok when I embroider it.

That?s great ?glad it was helpful.

Hi Tracy, you should probably see a doctor for that question. Not even a medical professional would want to answer that sort of question on here without examining you and having lots of other personal information about you. Good luck!

I am struggling to trace Maddie?s face onto my fabric. Any ideas as to the best or easiest way to do this please?
Moz replied: 16 Feb 23 at 06:42
If you have an A4 tracing light box it?s worth trying this. I put the printed face pattern onto the box and fabric on top - it worked a treat!

Hi, is it me not reading right about pocket for PJ top there's no template i can see. I know its only a small thing but would like measurement so i don't make it wrong size.
Laura replied: 11 Feb 23 at 16:00
There is a template for the pocket ?it was initially left off but admin corrected it and added the pocket. Maybe you printed it off before the correction was made.

My first ever garment, after getting all flustered it turned out to be a lot easier than I had imagined. Not perfect but really wearable and comfy. Thanks for the pattern Debbie and the inspiration ????

Hello everyone?.can I please ask?when dressmaking and need to finish the seams with an overlocker to prevent fraying, does anyone overlock the edges of the individual pieces before sewing them together? Hope this makes sense and isn?t a silly question! Many thanks.

Should read overlock !! ????

Is it me! Am I the only one whose PJ turned out looking more like Ratty????????????
Blodwen replied: 10 Feb 23 at 09:29
Megan, thank you, I did make the mistake of making it in felt but I really enjoyed making it I had to compromise a bit with the tail which really does look ratty.

Hi all. With the QAYG February 23 block of the month should we be cutting out the backing, the wadding and quilt it? Appreciate that we need to wait until May for how to join as we've the extra white squares to add to the sashing.
Laura replied: 11 Feb 23 at 16:10
Yes I think that Echo Quilting for the February block is great ..that is what I have used on the blue and pink pieces.
