Hi there, Iam making the adventscalendar from the magazine. How do you manage to print off the tree template? As when i print it it is A4 size, trying to change the settings on my printer, but no luck...very frustrating
Laura replied: 25 Sep 26 at 22:21
I agree that the template on the club is at the wrong scale probably in error. The publisher of the book Search Press do have a website that provides additional templates for all of their books should you want to print them off andI have looked up this book and the little tree template is provided there under the title of the book and on Page 15 of the templates. You do have to sign up to the website but it is free and it does give you access to all Search Press book templates so I think you will find it useful. I have provided the direct link here for you find the tree and print page 15 on A4 to get it at the right size for your calendar. https://www.bookmarkedhub.com/uploads/books/search_press/a_year_of_felt_decorations_9781800920477/9781800930407_templates_bookmarked.pdf

Hope this is ok to ask on here. I’ve been given a lot of Machine embroidery cotton.Does anyone know if you can use this on an ordinary machine on the top and in the bobbin.Thanks
Laura replied: 25 Sep 26 at 22:48
I use polyester 40 weight embroidery thread in my Juki for topstitching with a topstitch needle. I don’t use it in the bobbin though.

Morning , Im loving Maddie the rag doll does Debbie Shore sell the flesh colour I need for her ? If yes what do I look for on her site ? TIA Kellie x
Laura replied: 22 Sep 26 at 17:48
Debbie used to stock Tilda Doll fabric in several shades for Maddie but she does not have any stock at present. It is available from other suppliers online but it is expensive because of the quality. I think you could use any cotton if you can find a shade you like, make sure it is not a fraying fabric. Debbie does have a tan cotton which she says is a good colour for doll making but I think any of her plain cottons would be good eg nude, biscuit, cream etc https://www.debbieshoresewing.com/shop/brands/craft-cotton-company/plain-cotton-tan-price-per-half-metre/

I am looking to upgrade my very old Brother sewing machine. I do a little dress making but mostly quilting these days. Any recommendations please. Up to £350 TIA
Laura replied: 20 Sep 26 at 10:06
I have seen them talking about this one on Sewing Street so might be worth a look and a bit of research ..looks like it has a great selection of feet for a machine in this price bracket. https://www.sewingstreet.com/en-gb/product/brother-fs250me-computerised-sewing-machine-exclusive-to-sewing-street-(ls)/xbb459/

Sounds like this is browser related rather than anything to do with this site. Which browser are you using? Try a different browser in the first instance.

Hi would anyone recommend a chargeable rotary cutter
Laura replied: 25 Sep 26 at 22:52
Oh that sounds scary ..I guess it might be useful if you were doing a load of cutting fabric though. You will have to let us know how you get on if you do decide to go for it 😊
