I love this notebook and am reading the instructions and watching video, All of the instructions have sizes for spine. The video shows only one piece of fabric with the spine, front and back all in one hooping. Where can I find the instructions for the all in one hooping? And the sizes for fabric? Thank you!
@@KaysCutz I have the same question as Kalaura above - the instructions are there for the single hooping, however, they do not tell you what size to cut your fabric - maybe there is an update that we need to download? Thank uou
I'm confused I'm doing the B now when it says to fold back cover on spine do you leave it there when adding lining ? any chance of a video for multi hooping. Thanks
Hi Linda thanks for watching. I use cheap masking tape/ painters tape in the US, I am not sure where you are in the world. I hope this helps. Happy stitching 😊
Thank you, Kay for another awesome SAL. Your notebook is gorgeous! I've yet to stitch mine. You make it look so easy! Thank you for all you do for us and your time. Angel Huggers!!
Thanks so much Kay! I made quite a few of the A5 covers as Christmas gifts, which were very well received, but only saw the add-on for the pen holder once they were all done. I do prefer having the pen holder on the side like this one though. Awesome stitch along!! xxx
Hi Kay, I love the notebook covers. I am a beginner and have made this one but when I was doing the tab I had some problems with my machine stitching with the same thread in the bobbin (embroidery thread) as the top thread. It would sew up and down, from left to right when basting both batting and then the fabric but when it was sewing from right to left it was all looping, tension problem I would assume but confused because it sewed in other directions perfectly. Would you have any idea what happened there please? Most appreciate your time, thank you.
Hi Gayleen, it could be several reasons and it is trial and error to find out which is causing the issue. 1 Slow your machine right down when stitching thicker items, if your machine is stitching too fast the bobbin thread doesnt have time to catch the top thread and in turn you get a loop instead this can also happen when your hoop bounces. 2. Try adjusting your top tension a little too. Some machines are picky when it comes to stitching through several layer or denser fabrics. The tension could be too tight or too loose for your fabric. 3. Remove the thread completely from the machine. Re-thread the machine. The upper thread could be tangled. 4. Check your combination of the needle size, thread size and fabric is incorrect. 75/11 for 40# regular thread or 90/14 for 40# Metallic thread. You need to use the correct size needle and thread for the type of fabric that you are sewing. If the problem persists contact your dealer as your machine may require service. I hope this helps you.
Please do a video for those of us who have to do all of the hoopings and do everything separately. I went back-and-forth between this and another of the kreative kiiwi notebooks with an initial on the front and went crazy. I’m going to be 80 next week, so I’m pretty proud of myself for figuring it out but I have to tell you it was extremely difficult. My sewing room looks like a tornado hit it. It’s really not easy to use the other notebook the video because things are done differently. How I figured it out will never know but I did it. . I guess it was today’s brain game.👍😄👏👏👏 please make a video for those of us who have to do all of the different hooping, front, back spine and tab. Mine turned out, I don’t know how, but it did. And I love it. I’ll make another just not right away. In the meantime, I’ll watch for the video that won’t work this. By the way, thank you for all of your great videos. You do a super job of explaining things.
I was wondering where I would get it in the UK! A6 paper is tiny, a quarter of A4 but I think the notebook sizes may be different? I will take a tape measure with me next time I go into town. I've just looked online and it is 4.1 inches by 5.8 inches (or 105 x 148 mm for those who like metric measurements. I hate them though I am in UK. Definitely an Imperial measurements girl!) so I have a measurement to look out for.
I would think you can get them anywhere. WH Smiths, Tesco, Asda anywhere that sells stationery as it it is a standard size of notebook a quarter of an A4 sheet of paper.
Susan you can get the 5x7 notepads, that size is included with the design. The notebooks I believe you can get from Walmart. Please read the info given not only in the video description but in the design link too as the info is all in there. Happy stitching
@@KaysCutz Thanks Kay. I meant can I make the largest one on my large (7 x 12) hoop in one hooping? I don't mind if I have to do more than one hooping, this notebook cover is beautiful. I'm thinking ahead to presents but, knowing me, I won't want to give them away!
@@lunasmum6869 These are the sizes given for making them in more than one hooping SIZE A - A6 Notebook - Purchased Notebook measures 4.13 by 5.83 inches - Can be made in a 5x7 (130x180mm) Hoop SIZE B - A5 Notebook - Purchased Notebook measures 5.83 by 8.27 inches - Can be made in a 6x10 (160x260mm) Hoop SIZE C - US Sized Notebook - Purchased Notebook measures 5 by 7 inches - Can be made in a 6x10 (160x260mm) Hoop So yes in a 7 x 12 hoop you can make the A5 notebook, you would use the 3 size B files for a 6x10 hoop in your 7x12 one.
I just bought this. Love it and had to buy pattern to stitch several out. Thanks, Marilyn
Wonderful instructions for making this Notebook Cover, Kay. You always make things so much easier. Thank you!
Thanks Margaret pleased they help you. Happy stitching.
Thanks for Sharing Kay. Love your idea for using T pins to hold stabilizer in place!
You're welcome. They certainly are handy but you can use any pins with a head on them.
Thank you! This was a Great video to watch. You make it look so easy. 🤗
You are very welcome, I'm pleased you enjoyed it! Happy stitching.
Thank you. I think I may make some of these as a small gift for the ladies at my table at our annual church tea.
I am sure they will be warmly received. Happy stitching.
Thanks I just ordered it, will be making for the kids.
Happy stitching I am sure they will love it. Happy New Year.

I made 3 of these as Christmas gifts and the recipients loved them! I added a pen pocket on the spine but I like your idea for the pen holder better.
They make lovely gifts dont they. I bet your recipients loved them.
Great Video!! You make it look so simple. Thank you for all the information regarding sizes and supplies that you used.
You're welcome Judy. Happy stitching.
Thanks so much for this video!! You thought of everything! Much appreciated 👍🏼

Thank you,I loved watching your video.
Glad you enjoyed it Connie. Thanks for watching. Stay safe and happy stitching.
Can you tell me where you got the two pair of scissors that you are using to trim?
Hi Lucy I get them off Amazon. The large ones are pinch action precision aquarium scissors and the small ones are called squizzors.
Such a lovely project. Can I ask what tape you use, it appears to hold so well.
Hi Linda thanks for watching. I use cheap masking tape/ painters tape in the US, I am not sure where you are in the world. I hope this helps. Happy stitching 😊
@Kays Cutz ah thanks, I'm in the uk, perhaps the masking tape I've tried was poor quality, or low tack. Thank you for replying.
Thank you, Kay for another awesome SAL. Your notebook is gorgeous! I've yet to stitch mine. You make it look so easy! Thank you for all you do for us and your time. Angel Huggers!!
Thanks Mary as always you are most welcome. Thanks for watching. Enjoy making yours.
I know it is kind of randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to watch new movies online ?
@Dangelo Terrance Flixportal :)
@Howard Thaddeus Thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it!
@Dangelo Terrance no problem :D
Thanks, Kay! I have searched for the notebooks to make these covers for. I have finally about 8 5 X 7 and 1 4 X 6
Brilliant well done, happy stitching. I love this cover it is my favorite.

I'm agreeing with you Maureen I'm stuck on adding the lining on the spine and back cover. if only I had a big enough hoop for 1 hooping.
Where did you get the notebook from? I'm looking for a similar one in both A6 and A5 and am struggling.
I got it in my local Action.
I got some off Amazon.
Thanks Kay is this A6 in size or A5?
You're welcome. I dont have a large enough hoop to make the A5 in one hooping so I did the A6 Diana in my 8x12 frame.
Can I add a monogram? If so, at what point should I do that?
Sure you can, add it after the quilting just before you put the backing fabric on. Happy stitching
@@KaysCutz , great, thank you.
where in the US can we get that size notebook?

Where did your tab design.?
Hi Connie Kreative Kiwi's free tab bundle:- www.kreativekiwiembroidery.co.nz/product/Free-In-the-hoop-Tab-Bundle.html
Can I make this on my 7 x 12 hoop? I hope so.
I have given the minimum hoop sizes in millimeters for each single hooping in the video description below so do have a look.
@@KaysCutz Thanks Kay. I meant can I make the largest one on my large (7 x 12) hoop in one hooping? I don't mind if I have to do more than one hooping, this notebook cover is beautiful. I'm thinking ahead to presents but, knowing me, I won't want to give them away!
@@lunasmum6869 These are the sizes given for making them in more than one hooping
SIZE A - A6 Notebook - Purchased Notebook measures 4.13 by 5.83 inches - Can be made in a 5x7 (130x180mm) Hoop
SIZE B - A5 Notebook - Purchased Notebook measures 5.83 by 8.27 inches - Can be made in a 6x10 (160x260mm) Hoop
SIZE C - US Sized Notebook - Purchased Notebook measures 5 by 7 inches - Can be made in a 6x10 (160x260mm) Hoop
So yes in a 7 x 12 hoop you can make the A5 notebook, you would use the 3 size B files for a 6x10 hoop in your 7x12 one.
Thank you
