Hi ,

When Josh saw this video, his eyes bugged out - an hour and a half! What? Why? How?

 

It takes time to share each step of the process and quite honestly you'll probably be able to sew your Mally the Maker doll in less time. 

 

You will want to watch the video on Sewing Ms. Bunny to see how to sew the body, arms, and legs, which are the same for both dolls. Click Here to find that video.

 

And just in case you're wondering - yes - Ms. Bunny's dress will fit Mally and Mally's pants and t-shirt will fit Ms. Bunny! If you've been wanting more clothes to dress up your Ms. Bunny dolls, this new pattern will be perfect for you.

 

 

 

Last week I shared a video solving a rather odd problem on a Grace Q-Zone Hoop Frame. Basically when your quilt has a diagonal or on-point design, it can take a lot more time to quilt on a frame because you'll only have a little bit of the design to stitch within the diagonal block design.

 

So the solution is to load your quilt diagonally.

 

This is a solution unique to Grace Hoop Frames - the Cutie Frame, Hoop Frame, or Hoop Frame Pro because these frames allow you to clamp the quilt on all sides.

 

This means you can load the quilt at weird angles and be able to quilt across a space, even if it runs diagonal to the edges of the quilt.

 

 

This is just a small way to make quilting a bit easier on quilts with diagonal designs.

 

Oh, and I hope you enjoy the video which features my growing baby bump! Our baby girl is getting bigger every day and James recently compared me to his soccer ball. I figured this pic would give you a chuckle.

 

Let's go quilt,
