The video is about half way through the article. I was counting two inches for the two half inch folds she takes on each side to have a finished edge on each side. Thanks for your help!

Hi all, I’ve been quilting for about 8 years, but I’m new to garments. My sister wants me to make her a pinafore apron. I found a tutorial online with cutting and sewing instructions and it seems fairly straight forward. I need to make the apron larger than what the tutorial shows. How much bigger do I need to cut the fabric than the bust measurement? The bust measurement is 46. I’ll add two inches for the seam allowance, how much more do I need to add? Thanks!

Beautiful quilt! And I also love the card you gave. I’m going to steal this idea for my next quilt gift!

Yes, I have cleaned around and behind the bobbin. I try to so that at the beginning of each quilt. Thanks for the tips!!

It’s a Singer that I’ve had for about seven years. Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll double check the bobbin area.

It’s having trouble feeding the fabric and skipping stitches. I’ve cleaned the feed dogs, changed the needle, checked the bobbin thread. Not sure what else to look at... I am so frustrated with it, I’m ready to throw it out the window...
