Has anyone made the sewing machine cover . do you know if it will fit the butterick sewing machine that Debbie helped design?it is alot bigger than a normal sewing machine.
Laura replied: 27 Oct 25 at 09:13
Debbie normally tells you how to measure your machine and how to make the cover to fit your machine in the instructions so it may be worth checking out the individual project to ensure that your cover will fit.

Hello, I'm not good at technology, missing so much, can you please tell me how I get onto fabric Web page, also can't seem to get the magazine open to read. Thank you
barb replied: 26 Oct 25 at 08:50
Open the magazine under blog on this site. You may need to click on it to see arrows to right and left to turn the pages. There is nothing for sale on this site. Debbieshoresewing.com is a separate business where you can order materials etc . Hope this helps,

I find it very difficult to find projects. I have to sign in more than once to access the patterns and downloading magazines is impossible. Constantly signing in is annoying as, by the time you’ve obtained access you’re already worn out.
Laura replied: 27 Oct 25 at 09:23
It is a shame that you are finding the site difficult to use..I don’t really have the same problem accessing the patterns and the screen will stay available if I am working on the project. If this problem persists it might be worth emailing the admin team to see if they have any ideas on why this is happening for you. The magazine is digital so if you go to the blog heading there is a whole article to read about how to view the magazine and tips on reading and turning the pages so it’s worth giving that a read before trying to access the magazine. I hope that this has helped and that you start to have a better user experience ..there is always someone to help on specific issues on the forum and if you do want to raise any issues with usage issues email the admin team at info@halfyardsewingclub.com

Hi, everyone just wondering what members are using to mark out the patterns for the Chumleys on the fleece especially on the dark colours my chalks don’t seem to work I appreciate you won’t see any marks once it’s been sewn up so using sharpies maybe 🤔 an option what is everyone else using. Thanks.

Hi, I know this is a stupid question but what is the difference between an A0, A4 and a US pattern?
Brenda replied: 22 Oct 25 at 09:35
Morning A0 is very large and have printed by a company like CLC Prints specialist patter printers so no piecing together. For UK users generally. A4 is your normal printer page size you would have in your printer US is how a size for the American sewists as theirs is a little different I believe to uk sizing. Hope that helps.

Can anyone suggest a simple toaster cover I can make. My sister in law suggested one but it had about 100 steps and I got disheartened.
Laura replied: 23 Oct 25 at 08:44
Debbie made a dust cover for a sewing machine by measuring and making size to fit. She says in the introduction on the project that you can use the same method to measure and make a dust cover for a toaster. Hope this helps https://www.halfyardsewingclub.com/projects/sewing-machine-cover-mat
