I’m cutting out the fabric for Block 3 and it asks for a 23 inch strip but the fabric supplied in the kit only measures 20 x 22 inches. Am I reading this correctly?
barb replied: 25 Aug 24 at 19:40
The kit is mentioned in the instructions for the block. See below * If using my kit, the fabric will be 22in (55.5cm) wide. Cut your strips to that measurement, then cut the following short strips as well and join these three short strips in the same order as in step 1. Use the short joined strips to cut one of your wedge shapes. One 2½ x 1½in (6.5 x 4cm) strip in FAB4 One 2½ x 2in (6.5 x 5cm) strip in FAB6 One 2½ x 1½in (6.5 x 4cm) strip in FAB6

Does anyone know why my gutterman thread should shred whilst sewing. Thanks

Are you using the right size needle for the thread you are using?

I have previously cast projects to my TV to see details better. I can't seem to remember how I did this. Does any of our lovely members do this?

Just to let those working on the quilt know. I had to request further sky fabric as I didn't have enough for block 9. Having just cut out my pieces of FAB 10 Sky for block 9 I realised that I had already cut pieces 18.5 x 8.5 and 10x12.5 as suggested in Welcome to my Block of the Month. These were labelled as block 8 and not block 9 in the instructions. I hope this makes sense.

I'm making the bag 3 ways. putting a zip in the top. I want to use Decovil for stablizing the fabric, do I cut it 1/4inch smaller than the fabric, or do you sew through it. Surely it would make the seams very think.
Mel replied: 17 Aug 24 at 22:04
Yes cut decovil light or heavy smaller to allow for seam allowances.

Can someone please tell me where I can find Debbie’s Pasternak of a chair tidy/storage that slips over the arm of the chair. Thank you
barb replied: 15 Aug 24 at 17:38
Patterns are removed after 2 years and I think that one went some time ago You could emailing to ask. Or here is another option that you could use as a basis https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=debbie+shore+armchair+tidy&mid=19F9B25EA91413394F0519F9B25EA91413394F05&FORM=VIRE

I’ve just downloaded and printed off the pattern for the picnic storage bag, but on the pdf download the title says icnic storage bag!! It would appear the P is missing from the title.

Hi there, we've tried to amend this. The new instruction document may take a couple of hours to update. Best wishes, team HYSC x

I’m making the craft caddy and am constructing the outside pockets. Mine seem a bit small compared to the pics in the instructions but I’ve cut out as per the pattern. I’m wondering if I should have added the seam allowance, although the instructions didn’t ask for it?
Tracey261204 replied: 12 Aug 24 at 16:16
Yes scale was correct etc. I’m sure it will be fine when it’s all pieced together. Thank you

Hi all. I’m doing block 4 of 2024 quilt ( Seminole waves.). Ive been putting it off as it looked so complicated but I have managed to work it out. My question is…. In the instructions the pic in step for 4 shows four strips joined together but I’ve got ten altogether so I’m a bit stumped. Do we only need four or do we use all ten????

Has anyone made a small crossbody bag for the slim organiser? I prefer them to tote bags
barb replied: 12 Aug 24 at 16:32
The organiser its self is quite big, and that's before you fill it up! I don't see you would need it in a small cross body bag. You could add various extra pockets to the bag in an effort to get more organised ! If its the cross body part you prefer then there is nothing to stop having a cross body tote. Or cross body any other type of bag. But the bag needs to be a reasonable size for the organiser to be worthwhile. Hope this helps.
