Hi - I have some difficulties sewing because I only see a little with one eye. So I look for the easy projects. Are there any suggestions? And I have a question about to measure a zip. Is it from one end to the other or is it from the little points in boths ends? I hope you understand because I am not an expert i the english language. Best Regards Vivi

Can you please tell me what thread is best for sewing the fleece, as for the new beanie hat pattern?

I use a Gutermann all-purpose thread for most projects, or a polyester would work well...

Hi all, I'm having trouble understanding the written instructions for the BotM, "Welcome to my Block of the Month" background fabric cutting, (Sorry not done this before). It says "Cut your first piece to measure 13in (30.5cm) deep across the width of the fabric, then sub-cut into:" Am I cutting the x 2 13" squares and the 9x13 inch square pieces across the width of the fabric selvedge to selvedge or down the side of the selvedge? I bought the kit and I'm worrying I'll run out if I do it the wrong way. TIA for any help. Susan
