Hi Debbie used Alpaca boucl? for Maddie hair I'm finding it difficult to find any in brown . . As anyone used a yarn similar that has been ok.
Claire replied: 1 Apr 22 at 23:32
I used Twist by Go Handmade. But please be warned the ends are starting to fray a bit after being well loved by my three young grandkids. I don't know if the alpaca has the same problem as I've never used it. I would suggest buying two balls (of 50g each) because one is a bit thin. I will be adding a second ball to mine when I have time, but Debbie keeps giving us more great projects to do!!!

I'm doing the block of the month for 2019 - and enjoying it a lot! The block is 4 squares by 4 squares. I'm doing each "line" separately but then have to join the lines together which means I'm sewing over the previous seams. Although I'm ironing line 1 seams to the left, line 2 to the right etc I'm finding it hard to not to make a mess when I join them. Any tips please?

Hi please can anyone help, I plan on making some bags for gifts. Would like to protect the bottom of bags, with some sort of stud to keep them clean. Any ideas where I could buy them or what they are called. Thanks.

I?ve used Comic board off Amazon. I do have loads as I also use it to wrap my fabrics round. X

I am thinking i might give this years Christmas theme block of the month a try. Are most people when doing the applique just sewing around the pieces not doing a close satin stitich. Do you sew really close so as not to get a raw edge?Or is it because you use adhesive paper to bond it first that stops it freying.
Jane replied: 28 Mar 22 at 14:44
I used Bondaweb too then stitched close to the edge.

Has anyone on here made the Easter bags & stuffed from the panel? Is it just cut along dotted lines & sew together?
Laura replied: 25 Mar 22 at 12:54
I have made them ..there are instructions printed on the panel for the bags and stuffies which are easy to follow. I did add interfacing to the stuffies to make them a bit firmer and I lined the bags with my own material as per Debbies demonstrations on how to line tote bags to make them a bit more special and interchangeable. At heir simplest they are cut out and sew!!

What type of interface is needed for the bells on the star wreath?
Jane replied: 28 Mar 22 at 14:49
I just used woven interfacing but made sure that the adhesive was on the inside when I turned it.

Hi everyone I have a question hopefully someone can help me with. I have made a few fabric square containers. But I?m never really happy with the corners. Debbie makes it look so easy ????. Do you sew right up to the seam line as you manoeuvre the fabric round the corners? Sue.
Denise replied: 24 Mar 22 at 21:48
What works for me, but not sure its the right way. Before sewing I mark 1/4 inch from each corner I am sewing and start and end at these marks. By the time all sides are sew they are all joined with no gap. Hope this helps. Good luck

I can't seem to be able to share pictures. Does anyone know the steps to share our makes pxtrs with the club?
Laura replied: 19 Mar 22 at 12:48
There is the option to share pictures of your makes on the individual project pages. There isn?t a central photo library on the site as far as I am aware. The FAQ page tells you other ways of sharing pictures on social media.
