Magnetic snaps are a good solution as a fastener ..Debbie uses them on a lot of her projects.

can anyone locate the crows foot on the new 2026 quilt blockplease. Also the block shown on the front page under the cow doesnt seem to be on the finished quilt.
barb replied: 21 Dec 25 at 08:54
I think the block under the cow on the front page is the block under the cockerel on the full quilt. But the photo under the cow only shows the centre of it. This same block I think is the crows foot.

Hi looking to get a new sewing machine my old one is a 30 year old Jones and the last time it was serviced he advised to get a new one, I don't use it enough to warrant spending more then £300 But would like it to auto thread, have a digital stich length and a auto cutter would be nice Any suggestions?

I bought a brother sewing machine for £300 from Sewing Street a few months ago. If you buy direct from Brother it costs a lot more about £800. It is the Brother Makers Edition FS250ME. Great machine. Does everything you have asked for and more. It has 250 different stitches too. Comes with a walking foot and many other feet too. It’s perfect for beginners and advanced. It has an instruction book that is very user friendly. I can’t rate it highly enough. I’ve always had a Brother and they’ve never let me down and their customer service is exceptionally good.

Hi can someone please point out where the bumblebee is on next years quilt as I can not find it May need eye test 😁
barb replied: 19 Dec 25 at 08:14
I think its honey bee rather than bumble bee. Its the name of a quilt block. I think Its the one to the left of the dogs towards the bottom.

Hi will I still be able to access the block instructions templates etc if I don't buy the fabric bundle? I want to use a pink colour pallet. My first quilt and I can't think of a better quilt for Olivia especially as her mummy Is a Veterinary surgeon. Thank you xx This was answered in respect of colour pallet etc but will i be able to access the written instructions and templates, as I may be a "slow coach" in my sewing speed. As it would be my first quilt.

Hi - the BOTM quilt stays up so you are able to refer back and work at whatever speed you like!

Hi Debbie I make a lot of your bags but I do find that my linings don't seem to fit as neatly as I would like, they are often a bit too full. Could you do a section in your live videos to show how to make them fit more neatly please. Many thanks Margaret
Janis replied: 16 Dec 25 at 10:30
I usually make the lining slightly smaller and it fits better.
