I've made one panel of this months project ( I'm new to sewing), and the window frames I've used the linen fabric from my pack. Purchased the pack from Debbie. My problem being the material seems to be fraying badly. Should I use cotton on the rest of house? Can I paint on Prymm Fray check? Should I not worry and just continue? Thanks in advance Karen

Wow it?s coming along great. A bit of fraying is all part of the charm.

Hi, this is going to sound very 'picky', it's not meant to be.? I want to make Debbies?top so I bought half a yard of viscose thinking that's all I'd need, hence the title, but I need 1.3/4 yds of fabric.? Maybe I'm too trusting lol. Had anybody else been silly?like me?
Anne replied: 17 Apr 21 at 13:08
On the instructions it says 1.75 yards, not everything can be made with half a yard, unlike Debbie?s books of the same name. Hope this helps.

Does anyone have any handy hints or tips for sewing in bases or rooves please? It was going well until I had to attach the inner roof. If it wasn't wonky before it certainly is now!
Debbie replied: 14 Apr 21 at 10:07
Start sewing 1/4" from the corner edge of the fabric, so that the actual stitch line matches, not the raw edge... that may help!

hi i have been told to polish the sewing machine base to make sure it sew's smooth for free motion please can someone explain what I need is just?furnature polish / a special polish or just a dry cloth? thank you Helene
Elizabeth replied: 19 Apr 21 at 09:07
you can get something called a supreme slider which is designed to help your work slide easily over the bed of your machine, they're a little pricey but they do help a bit. As long as there isn't any glue or anything on the bed of your machine you wouldn't need to polish it

I wonder if anyone can help for months I've been using same pattern and suddenly I'm having this issue per picture I've changed needle, re round bobbins and top threads I stitch the double layer go to the single layer then back to double later and always when I get to the single layer I can see the opposing colour. I cant figure why My tension is 3 to 4 I use moon threads the fabric is cotton it just looks so unprofessional Please can anyone help at all please Thank you Denise?
Anne replied: 17 Apr 21 at 13:23
I?m so glad your sorted. From your photo it was obviously a bobbin problem. I?ve had the same thing. A bit of thread can throw everything out. Also using the wrong bobbin affects my sewing.
