Is there a way to download a video to watch offline? My signal is not great where I sew, so it would be great to be able to watch without getting the annoying twirly circle every 5 ????

Would love to see a tutorial on making baby quilts.. Love all if your tutorials as I am just beginning to learn to sew, post retirement.

Have you seen the Quillow Project on here ..that would make a lovely baby quilt. I also did the reversible quilt here for my granddaughter https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8Jvg3hxqls and it was lovely?I did 4x6 squares and it was a good size for baby to play on.

Can admin please explain why I've been banned from commenting on bday live? Bit disappointed I can enter any of the competitions?
Jayne replied: 26 Aug 23 at 19:58
I couldn't see my comments so I don't know if they were getting through. Also probkems when typing a message as everything became magnified and I then had to scroll up to find the live stream, and readjust the size to normal. Lost the connection completely just after 5pm - link disappeared completely from the home screen.

I hate the quilting on my first block, my first attempt at FMQ and I've managed to lose a purple piece???? is there enough blue and white in the kit for me to remake from the start? Last image to demonstrate improvement ????
Bev replied: 26 Aug 23 at 14:51
I have already cut all all my white squares ready for triangles so I think that I'm safe with the white but looking at the three remaining blocks it's the blue that is worrying me. Is there any available on Debbie's website? I can't find any. I would rather leave it with bad quilting than substitute the blue.

Hi! I'm having a problem with the mesh pocket on the towel tote and wondering if anyone can help. I had no trouble constructing the pocket and feeding the elastic through, but I can't seem to attach it properly. If I attach the elastic unstretched, the pocket is floppy and useless. If I stretch the elastic as I attach it, it pulls the sides of the tote together and won't lay flat. Can anybody give me any pointers please? Photo of said floppy mesh pocket attached (with very annoying extra tuck on the left which I'm going to sort out on the unpick). At the moment I'm close to re-doing it with foldover elastic on the top but if I can stick to the pattern I'd prefer to. Many thanks and best wishes to you all.
