Thank you for the corrected chart for page 9. I downloaded the file, saved it, then opened it to print. Every graph on p.9-11 have some grid lines missing. I will have to draw them in by hand so I can do the counting. byw, the same problem appears when I print directly from the pdf file before downloading it.
I started the basting, so I’l…[Read more]

Hi Sarah,
First, I am absolutely loving this class! I think I’ve figured out Christmas gifts for several family members – these beautiful boxes with something small inside (not macarons!).
Question on the embroidery of the initial – can we use a slate frame instead of a hoop? I find even with tightening with a screwdriver, and wrapping my h…[Read more]

Hi Sarah.
Are the tops of the inner and outer boxes perfectly even or is the outer box slightly higher than the inner box?
Do you have a photo of the underside of the lid? Is the inner lid slightly more narrow and shorter than the outer lid?
Also I played the beginning of your video 2.1 several times and I thought I understood you to say the…[Read more]

Hi all,
Just thought I’d add a tip here for the lacing method for the card. It can feel like you need an extra pair of hands for lacing the fabric to the card, but start slowly and pull firmly and evenly on the thread to tighten it. If it snaps, don’t worry, just go back a couple of stitches, finish off the thread and start a new one. If it kee…[Read more]

Sarah de Rousset-Hall replied to the topic Padding question in the forum Forum: Box Making: Parisian Patisserie 3 years ago
Hi Lynette,
That’s a great question! I tend to use felt for my padding for boxes as it is easy to cut accurately to fit my card shapes perfectly – especially when I need to cut it a little smaller than the card piece to allow for where another piece of card will join to it (so my ‘seam allowance’ for the card pieces is always the same rathe…[Read more]

I am working on the box with another chapter member and we were wondering why you chose to use felt rather than quilt batting for the padding of the inside portion of the box. We both have completed our inside boxes and were pleased with how they came out.

Hi Everyone, I hope all is well with your stitching!
You’ll see there is an additional document this week. It’s a replacement page for Page 9. After reviewing the posts, I looked again at area 6 and noticed something didn’t look right. So, I took a closer look and sure enough it didn’t match the picture. I think I have it now and what you have is…[Read more]

Hi Dawn,
I was looking at Area 9 Are we just to put in 4 couching stitches in the 4 corners of where the BROWN Crosses? The graph show a few extras… Just checking.

Sarah, really good class. Have been wanting to learn how to make fabric covered boxes, so your class came at a great time.
My solution in working with a curved needle was to use a finger cot, like one would use to apply ointment. Gave me the grip I needed. Available in pharmacies in the USA.
Also found that my small box for supplies was…[Read more]

Hi everyone,
a great kit and very clear videos Sarah, thank you. I am an Australian currently living in Mexico so I especially appreciated all the supplies, as they are not easy to get here. I have completed the inner box, measurements are correct. I found the circular needle a bit tricky initially as I have not used one previously. Looking f…[Read more] -
