I am considering buying a magnetic seam guide for my janome dc3050 but have read so many different things about these I am now not sure if it is safe to use. Has anyone got one of these that they use on the computerised machine or can suggest an alternative.

Thanks I have read so many different articles about them affecting machines electronics because of the magnet but need a way of getting a good straight seam. I don't know if there are any other methods people use to do this so I can explore all options.

Hi there, Debbie mentioned that to get 10% on her site for materials etc you fill in the coupon code. What is it? I'm a newbie and am still finding my way around! So looking forward to being part of this community.

Good Morning Debbie & The Team, I have a question regarding sewing metal zips into make-up bags. I know that Debbie only uses plastic ones but could you show me how I can use them please? Would you need to use a special needle on your sewing machine? I wanted to make a make-up bag using crushed velvet fabric with the metal zip which would look so much more professionally finished rather than a plastic one. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind Regards, Lorraine Manton

I agree with Julie, I use nylon zips generally as I can cut them to the exact length I need, that's a bit more difficult with metal zips...

Debbie replied: 5 Dec 21 at 09:55
I have a large cutting mat, 24" ruler and I use a rotary cutter, it;'s easy then to line up the fabric to the grid on the mat to make accurate squares...

Can i replace an invisible zip on a skirt with a normal zip?

My neighbour busted her work skirt zip. She asked if I could help. I unpicked the skirt, removed the zip, I only had a normal zip (rather than an invisible one) I restitched replaced it and stitched it back together, she said it?s a better fit than before.

Got some of tartan fleece. Just want to make it into blanket. Any suggestions on how to finish edges without making them too bulky?

You could bind them.

Is there a way of saving the current projects on my tablet or laptop before they are taken off this page please. I am quite new to this and not sure if this is possible to do.
Sharon replied: 26 Dec 21 at 13:54
Just another thought I had on this subject. How do I find out which projects are about to be removed from the site as can't see how to find out.

I have this zipped panel from a botched project and I want to make it into a simple little coin pouch instead. No matter how I go about it something goes wrong. I don't want any raw edges. It's lined (the bottom of the panel is shown in the bottom right of the four pieces). The remaining three pieces are meant to be the back and the lining. Could really use some help. Thanks!

I'm not sure how you would exactly go about putting it all together to make a coin pouch, but you could always put bias binding around the edges, that would hide them
