Any ideas on how the felt fabric and the cross-stitch fabric go together? I've only cross-stitch on cross-stitch paper before (the one with the holes)

Bucilla's instructions on how you back them with the felt are located on the opposite sides of the color chart. It seems to suggest taping them together. Personally, I didn't like the felt, so I took white fabric for lining and random christmas fabric and made them actual mini stockings. I also used ribbon instead of twisting the floss for the hanging material. The floss just ended up limp and awkward looking. I hope you find a way that works for you.

Sorry, I am using my corners on decorative paper. Do not know about fabric.

I use Sew What Pro computer software along with the large hoop (they have a free 30 day trial, but I purchased it for $65 and it's SO WORTH IT). This allows you to edit the embroidery/appliqu to where it doesn't/does overlap how you want it to. You can do an appliqu in position 1 on the hoop and then move it to position 2 or 3 and put a name under the appliqu, etc. without re-hooping the fabric. It's amazing!

My daughter got hers yesterday and was do excited... the first couple pre-cut patterns she did just fine, but when she tried to make her own with the included rectangular fabrics it jammed up a lot... it took a lot of patience to get a finished product... im thinking this is one gift that will find its way to the back of the closet quickly

I just tried it with both felt and cotton fabrics. A single layer punches ok, but fabric and felt were both 'pulled' into hole and punched hole had to be finished with scissors.. Double layers of both cut fine and were stiff enough to cut hole all the way through without having to trim with scissors. Triple layer of cotton punched fine; but felt was too thick.

I didn't have a problem with it - I just used my fingernail to peel up the light-colored paper backing, exposing the shiny black adhesive backing of the felt strip. You could try with the edge of a sharp knife (carefully), like an exacto knife.

I just noticed mine doing the same thing last night. Perhaps if we can find a friend who sews!! It'd be cute to make a cover for it somehow!

I just got mine today. It looks & feels good. My only worry is that it won't be enough for a full sew in.

i soaked fabric until sulky was lifting off, and then worked it out of the tight areas. I'd be concerned about the felt. YOu for sure would have to dry and block the faces after soaking them!

I couldn't findbone so I made one. Went to JoAnns and bought fabric for $10 and used the Orange one that came w/ironing board as a pattern for the new one. It took less than an hour to make the new one.

The hems stitch in this case is usually used to keep edges from unraveling before applying a decorative edging. I personally have not tried this. Since you can use the edgit through several layers at a time, I personally fold down the raw edges, pierce through the double layer and proceed. This eliminates the hemstitch step, & you still have an edge that is neat & will not unravel! The same goes for your pillow edging. Since you already have a neatly folded edge, just pierce and have at it! Run Brenda Run! Lol! ;-)

sorry i can't help you. I bought it for my Elna and a small Brother (my go to class machine and I like it) but it doesn't fit either. It was a screw size and I couldn't get it off to try a larger size.; no hole on the Brother. I have macular and i am looking for all kinds of help for sewing straight seams. Interesting I asked Vking and other dealers and they didn't know anything about it. Bernina has a complicated one and very expensive and it probably won't fit. A famous quilt designer and artist Patrick Lose on a youtube video used his and the site had a disclaimer on it and said they had so many inquiries that said to check your dealer. HA! non know anything.

I am still working on mine....I have not had much time to devote to it. I think it would be a good beginning quilt, a lot of cross stitch on it, which is faster.

i was suprise too. but if you fold the edge, do it like a paper shopping bag, than its a vritical bag. but need check the stitching, if any thread is lose, a open hole there.
