Having worked for Doughty’s a while back this all sounds very familiar! They do put a great roadshow and always appreciate a well organised group, especially when it comes to cake! Glad you had a great day!

Hi Sue, Sewmotion is my baby, if you haven’t already guessed. The fabrics I include in the kits are top quality, mostly Makower these days to be honest. I will be adding more products to my shop on here very soon 🙂

Hello Joy! I’m sorry I haven’t found your wonderful and very kind blog before now, I’m so happy you’re enjoying making up my All Squared Up kit in those gorgeous Alison Glass prints. And you’re right, sometimes you just want to get stuck in and start sewing, and pre-cut kits are perfect!
Happy sewing Joy, I look forward to seeing how you quilt it 🙂 x -

The Sewline glue does wash out but to be fair it more or less disappears once you remove the papers, I find there’s no residue left behind. You only need to use a thin layer of glue, get it a go! 🙂

This is a great post Jane, thank you so much for highlighting all the behind-the-scenes work that goes into planning and releasing a BOM. My Sewmotion Curve Motion Medallion is a wonderful 16-month EPP journey for lovers of hand sewing, it took many many hours to put it all together but it was worth it!
