I?m making Robyn for my granddaughter but would like him to look like her boyfriend. My problem is that the boyfriend has a small moustache and beard. Has anyone any idea how I can replicate this? Thanks very much.
Debbie replied: 4 Jul 21 at 15:48
Or try fine fabric pens, you could just draw on the moustache if you prefer, can't wait to see a picture!

Hi I'm desperate here.. can anyone help? I have a PFAFF quilt ambition 2.0 and I am having problems with sewing two pieces of cork together. I've cleaned the machine, changed needles to 110/18 and it still keeps missing a lot of stitches it makes the holes no problem I've also rethreaded. Sewing cork to cotton is not a problem. Please HELP

Thanks for the reply, I am using a walking foot but I will try a new thread. I heard that a foot used for leather might work too. xx

I have been trying the HST quilt 2019. I asked a few days ago if anyone can tell me if the sashing goes round the edges of the quilt. Also now I cant find any instructions for binding the quilt. Surely these instructions must be somewhere? I am feeling very disappointed as I have all these blocks joined together but I feel left high and dry by the lack of instructions on finishing.

Hi, If I was to use faux leather as a flap on a bag, would I need to use any interfacing? I am using H640 for the actual bag. Thank you
Alanna replied: 30 Jun 21 at 09:37
Hi Wendy! Yes I would use interfacing on the flap.

Hi Jenny, thank you for your reply earlier. I haven?t sewn with a slippery fabric before and wanted to know if anyone has tips for that. I thought I would do a french seam. I wondered if my walking foot would be best. Do you have any ideas? Thanks again, Rosemarie
Debbie replied: 4 Jul 21 at 16:01
I'd use a walking foot, and a small stitch. Silk thread works well, with a fine needle. Hipe that helps!

I am relatively new and I am making the evening bag style from Debbie?s half yard summer book. Regarding handles as my bag is less formal can I use the template from the build a bag book and if so what would be the layout of the fabric be with the template to get the length? Hope someone can help. Thank you.
Jenny replied: 28 Jun 21 at 10:13

How does Debbie sign her books if I order on search press?
HYSC replied: 28 Jun 21 at 17:08
Hi Jean Before Covid Debbie used to be able to come to the offices quite frequently to sign books and she signs books when they launch on Sewing Street. We do have a few signed copies of Dressmaking secrets at Search Press and some book plates we can put in the books. If you want signed copies you should order from Debbie's own website or Sewing street when they launch a book.
