    Hello, I love this live videos. My question is, how do you enlarge quilt patterns? For instance from a 2 1/2 inch to a five inch finished size. There are a lots of patterns I would like to do but my arthritis says no little blocks. Keep up the good work you all do

    Re: altering pattern to body size and too big question. A simple thing to double check, depending on pattern piece altered…. Be sure that you are dividing the additional width (for example) needed by the number of seams. For example, if I need 4 inches more at the waist, that would be one additional inch at each seam.

    I altered my pattern based on my body measurements but the finished product was much too large. How do I avoid such disparity in the future?

    How would you sew a lace appliqué onto sheer fabric with a sewing machine instead of hand stitching?

    Any suggestions please when cutting out strips, squares, etc for quilting. I measure so carefully but somehow I’m always off after cutting or using rotary cutter. Thanks!

    How to use the rolled hem foot especially on square or rectangular projects. Starting and stopping are not neat.
