Hi Jacqui, I don't sell through Facebook, did you order from the Debbie Shore Sewing website? If so and you haven't received it please email enquiries@debbieshoresewing.com and I'll have it looked in to...

Louise asked:

Hello! I really want to have a go at quilting and the 2022 block of the month has inspired me to give it a go. Any advice on where to start? Would one of the previous years blocks be a good start? I?m thinking that the project maybe a bit beyond my skills.

Louise replied: 23 Dec 21 at 12:15

Thank you. That sounds a good plan. I will give that a go first.

Hi Debbie & Team, Please can you recommend the best fabric glue to use? Thanks you Lorraine

Megan replied: 6 Dec 21 at 07:35

It would depend what type you were looking for this is great https://debbieshoresewing.com/haberdashery/adhesives/gutermann-ht2-wet-textile-glue/ these pens are out of stock at the moment but they are good for holding things in place like a zip while you sew https://debbieshoresewing.com/haberdashery/adhesives/sewline-fabric-glue-pen-and-refill/ and then there is this spray glue 250ml: https://debbieshoresewing.com/haberdashery/odif-505-temporary-fabric-adhesive-spray-250ml/ 500ml: https://debbieshoresewing.com/haberdashery/adhesives/odif-505-temporary-fabric-adhesive-spray-500ml/
