Is sewing a housecoat for 4 to 5 years difficult and does anyone have a pattern please
Debbie replied: 5 Dec 21 at 09:52
I would imagine it's quite simple, I don't have a pattern but take a look at the Mccalls website, there's bound to be one there!

Hi when emailing in for the 12 days of Christmas giveaways, do you have to do a different email for each giveaway you want to enter, or just put all the dates on one email. Sorry if this has been covered previously.

I want to make the Christmas 2020 table runner and placemats. Could I use felt for the Christmas trees and a mixture of fabric and felt for the snowman?
Debbie replied: 5 Dec 21 at 09:53
I think that would work well!

I am considering buying a magnetic seam guide for my janome dc3050 but have read so many different things about these I am now not sure if it is safe to use. Has anyone got one of these that they use on the computerised machine or can suggest an alternative.
Sharon replied: 6 Dec 21 at 08:23
Thanks I have read so many different articles about them affecting machines electronics because of the magnet but need a way of getting a good straight seam. I don't know if there are any other methods people use to do this so I can explore all options.

Good Morning Debbie & The Team, I have a question regarding sewing metal zips into make-up bags. I know that Debbie only uses plastic ones but could you show me how I can use them please? Would you need to use a special needle on your sewing machine? I wanted to make a make-up bag using crushed velvet fabric with the metal zip which would look so much more professionally finished rather than a plastic one. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind Regards, Lorraine Manton

I agree with Julie, I use nylon zips generally as I can cut them to the exact length I need, that's a bit more difficult with metal zips...

What's the best way to square up fat quarters. Not having any success
Debbie replied: 5 Dec 21 at 09:55
I have a large cutting mat, 24" ruler and I use a rotary cutter, it;'s easy then to line up the fabric to the grid on the mat to make accurate squares...

Can i replace an invisible zip on a skirt with a normal zip?
Jilly - (FB Wispa Labrador) replied: 6 Dec 21 at 07:36
My neighbour busted her work skirt zip. She asked if I could help. I unpicked the skirt, removed the zip, I only had a normal zip (rather than an invisible one) I restitched replaced it and stitched it back together, she said it?s a better fit than before.

You could bind them.
