TOPIC: Questions for Sarah - Month 7 (July)

Re: Questions for Sarah - Month 7 (July) 08 Jul 2012 23:53 #83903

Hi Sarah,
OK, I have done the 6-1x and the 6-1y-1 sections on the embroidery. Worked beautifully. Really looks good. Now I am trying to do the 6-1y-2. When I line up the placement lines stitched on the stabilizer and the appropriate lines on the background the applique placement lines stitch about 1/4" too high. I started over with a new piece of stabilizer, and relined up the background, but the same thing happened. I don't know what the problem is. I am using the full blown emb. that I purchased from you. Any suggestions?? Cynthia

Marilyn,
The background size is 13" x 16" - the cutting instructions are in the June download for all 3 months of applique blocks.

I read that we were to cut the background fabric for blocks 6-7-8. It said we should have 9 blocks cut but I can't find out what size I am to cut it. Have read instructions over several times but must be blind or something because I can't find it. Thanks for your help. Marilyn Geraldson

Hi Sarah
I am finally ready to begin but have a few more questions. The month 6 stitching instructions (pg 5) read "Print 1 copy of Month 06 Template-Emb.pdf onto regular copy paper. Join tiled pages for each block." However I don't see in the rest of the instructions for month 6 where it says what the 1 copy of regular paper is for? You refer to tracing the lines from the template onto the stabilizer then basting the background fabric to the stabilizer.
In the month 7 the instructions say to make 3 copies onto regular copy paper, but it looks like you used stabilizer not paper under the fabric in the video and the instructions refer to the stabilizer not copy paper.
I don't mean to be dense, but am a little confused about printing on regular copy paper part. Do I to use the regular copy paper and baste my fabric to that or should I use the Ricky Tims Stable Stuff rather than regular paper. I am using the full embroidery designs from your website. I don't know why this is so difficult for me. I am not new at machine embroidery! :oops:
Thanks again, and I promise to upload my Sedona Star soon!

Hello Mandy,

Yes - the Mega hoop will allow you to do fewer hoopings!

Thanks so much for your kind words - they are really appreciated.

Hi Sarah, will the Bernina mega hoop allow any fewer hoopings this month, as it did last month? I am really enjoying using the embroidery unit this way. Thank you for your brilliant design :D
