Yes, Sarah, thank you. This is helpful.

A mock-up is a good idea. Using a similar thickness corrugated cardboard is a valuable tip. After watching your video 1.4 on constructing the inner box I now understand how important it is to plan how the seams will join.

Thank you, again.

Hi Florence,

The easy question first: A5 is a paper size of  14.8cm x 21 cm. It’s half the size of A4 which is similar in size to US Letter paper.

For the more complicated question about sizing:

I do talk about this a little in lesson 2 as you may need to make adjustments to the size of the outer box depending on the measurements of the in…[Read more]

Hi, again, Sarah,

Yes, I really love your videos. They are very, very helpful.

It would be wonderful to be able to replay them after our class is over to refer to for future box projects. Thank you very much for offering to host them on your own You Tube channel.

I am currently stitching embroidery for the outside of several boxes and find the…[Read more]

Thanks, Sarah!

I have done my best on estimating the basting, but would also appreciate confirmation about spacing between the areas, please.

Excellent news!

Hi Jane,

I just checked the tracking, and it looks like it was delivered this afternoon – I will email you the tracking as well, just in case!

Sarah

My kit arrived this afternoon. Thank you Sarah!  I’m looking forward to getting started.

Christine is all set. She does have the kit.

I don’t have Beverly on my list to receive a kit.

Hi, thanks. It is 14 x 14 and the area is 2 linen threads in from the left.

If you have already basted the lines, I wouldn’t pull it out. Just work in from the left area.

Thanks

Dawn

Terry, not sure I understand your comment 2 threads in from the border.  On page 5 of the handout it states to start 2 inches from the bottom and 2 inches from the left. I started at the bottom and measured 2 inches up from the bottom of the linen and then 2 inches in from the left side of the linen to mark my starting point from Area 9.

Good catch.  I stitched it 14×16, but this is small enough to re-stitch.  I’ll wait for answer from Dawn since I measured placement of Area 1 from top and to the right of Area 14.

My Kit has not arrived! I am near Chicago, Illinois. Could you please send me tracking information?

Jane Compeau

Dear all,

So sorry I missed this thread – I thought I’d set up email alerts for everything, but apparently I didn’t and was away a few days over the holidays.

For those of you who havent’t already contacted me via other means, I will check your tracking and send you an email with details if it hasn’t already arrived with you so that I don’t…[Read more]

Marie, well done! the Inner box looks really neat here, the fabric looks lovely and taut and there is no gapping between your pieces.

Hi Florance,

I’m so glad you like the videos, it was fun making them!

I am not sure what the EGA policy is on the videos and how long they will be available, but if they do need to be taken down from the EGA site I will be happy to host them on my own YouTube channel and grant access to all the folks signed up to this class (although it may take…[Read more]
