If you have any questions please add in the comments- as I explained in the video, we are having the house rewired over the next 2 weeks so if I don’t reply it’s because I don’t have wi-fi!
Thanks

Oh my goodness! Thanks so much for this tutorial! I was trying to find a way to attach a zipper to a bag that is almost finished. This is such a great nugget of information 🎉

[@juliacrosspatch3391]

It’s good for those of use who hate zippers! 😂

Ordered the kit last night so eager to get going as just finished a quilt top using fabrics I did not like and turned out better than I envisaged 😊. What fabrics have you used for the heart quilt behind you please? Hope the electrics are back on asap 🙂. X

[@juliacrosspatch3391]

Thanks for watching- it’s the Morris mix up charm pack- just done your order, thanks! 😄

[@eimjabegg5943]

Pardon my ignorance, but how big is the hexagon? What is the diameter of it from straight side to the opposite straight side please?

[@juliacrosspatch3391]

It’s approximately 5” by 4.5”, it can be any size you want, I doesn’t have to be a hexagon, it could be a pentagon or an octagon, the effect would be the same, thanks for watching!

[@eimjabegg5943]

@@juliacrosspatch3391 Thank you very much for the suggestions. I'll have a play around with shapes and see what looks best. I'm very grateful for your reply.

[@janhulse9518]

you came up accidently and I nearly turned you off but watched for a bit and lo and behold,you did NOT do the the one where the first piece is only sewed from halfway and the end of round put over top of last strip.forgot the name but hate it. good job.

[@juliacrosspatch3391]

Thanks for watching!

[@wendyfarnsworth3125]

Pattern would have been nice why do you not ship to US?

[@juliacrosspatch3391]

You don’t need a pattern- measurements are given in the description- I will put it as a pdf on the website when I get chance- I do ship to the US but I check the postage for your order then send a PayPal invoice- the website would otherwise just charge a standard rate on everything- thanks for watching!

[@catherinecearns9002]

Is this a PDF PATTERN I’m in Australia

[@juliacrosspatch3391]

Not yet- it will be soon but all the measurements are in the description- thanks!
