thank you Barbara for the informations.
I am using Liberty Emily Belle fat quarters in the whole rainbow range and a mid blue backround with small darker and white spots. All is washed, starched and pressed.
Looking forward to start!

Hi, Barbara. I purchased the Autumn kit. I am a starcher.. Is there sufficient fabric in the kit to allow starching, or is a second kit needed? Thank you!

[Jill B.]

Hi Faerie I am also a starcher and find it makes so much easier to hold the pieces and sew lol

[Barbara B.]

Do you get a lot of shrinkage when you starch? The kits usually provide a little extra, but there is no way to say exactly how much. I don’t heavily starch so have no noticeable shrinkage.

Hello Barbara,
You talked about thread in your video, I use superior threads so to copy your threads would I use Master Piece in the Top and Bottom Line in the Bobbin, thank you.

[Barbara B.]

That would work very well I think. Give it a try.

Good morning from Montana Barbara, I have the flying geese 1 1/2 x 3. Do you think I would be able to trim from that to make the correct size?

[Barbara B.]

Yes, the top side you will be able to trim with that ruler. The other 3 sides you will use a square. I will demo on the LIVE January 3 and it is shown in detail on my Month 1 Blog which posts next weekend when the Month 1 pattern is released.

Hi Brenda, I have the Bloc Loc 1 1/2 x 3 on order, it should be here within a week, I thought I’d be able to trim the top and sides with it then use a different ruler to trim the bottom, is that what you were thinking?

What size bloc-loc ruler does Lynn wilder call for?

[Barbara B.]

All the basic information for the BOM can be found on the Introduction page:

The Bloc Loc ruler is hard to find in this size so I will show a work around with an alternative ruler on my Month 1 blog.
