Good morning, what is the best filling for door stoppers… I used flaxseeds once but very costly Would rice go mouldy after a while ?
Priscilla replied: 25 Aug 26 at 17:47
I have used rice in all my indoor doorstops - just one bag of the cheapest from the supermarket is fine. Also, if you’re clumsy like me it doesn’t hurt your toes when you bang into it!

Hi, is there a tutorial or tips about applying interfacing? Have tried the sun visor this morning and, as usual, I’ve ended up with creases where I’ve applied the medium weight interfacing. Many thanks
Laura replied: 15 Aug 26 at 13:37
You will probably find the instructions for the make and type you are using online. My top tips would be to follow the manufacturers instructions which are usually on the selvedge of the interfacing. Some like steam and some don’t and the time you need to keep the heat on a piece is always longer than you think as the glue needs to melt for proper adhesion. Use a pressing action rather than an ironing action so lift your iron to apply rather than moving along the fabric. Allow the interfaced pieces to cool completely before use to allow the glue to adhere to the fabric properly. Hope this helps a bit.
