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]

Apologies to everyone with kit delays – mail strikes over in the UK made it difficult to get the materials and to send out the parcels as well, but hopefully the arrivals are all imminent!

Hi Sarah,

Thank you very much for offering this class. I have been looking forward to learning more about making fabric covered boxes and am sure I will use what I learn in numerous future projects.

Thank you very much for the excellent videos. Will we be able to save access to the videos to refer back to after the class ends?

Thank you,…[Read more]

I also am feeling very frustrated with the grid-lines, especially on the main chart.  My basting is off somewhere. Can you tell us what the overall stitch count should be? I think it should be 73 wide, by ??

I just received mine on Tuesday. My friends got theirs three weeks ago. Mailed at the same time. Crazy.

My kit arrived today!  It is beautiful!  Thank you, Sarah!

Hi Julia,

All the diagonals in the red circle are over 1 down 2. Each intersection of the graph represents a hole in the linen. Same for in the blue circle. On the true diagonal, work down 2 over 2, if possible, rather than 1 over 1 or 4 over 4. The enlargements (details) are taken from the original graph, so all match to the original graph.

I am admitting I have organizational issues and stashing 3x the things my sewing room can contain, so I am also asking, “Did I order a kit?”  I believe I did.

I printed Lesson 1 but the quality is not normal.  The charts on page 4 and 6 do not show all the

gridlines.   Counting will be impossible on the Master Graph.  I did download the lesson, then print.

Did anyone else have this problem?

Hi Marjorie, have you tried saving it to your computer, then printing?

I’m finding it difficult to follow the backstitch in the red circle due to the graph lines is it possible to darken or make the stitch lines wider. Also in the blue circle from my experience you need to state if these stitches should be 1 over 2 or 2 over 4.

the graph on page one when enlarged is easier to read as the graph is in a different p…[Read more]

Hi Julia, you could use it, but it may not look the same as the original piece.  And, you would treat each square on the Aida cloth as 2 linen threads. Does that make sense?

Thanks, Dawn

Hi Colleen, it doesn’t matter where you start for the basting. Whatever is easiest. It will be removed later.

For the Bokhara Couching, after placing the first long stitch (working left to right), you’ll start couching working from right to left. See the graph on page 8.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks

Dawn

I have not received my kit. I do not have a tracking number.

Thanks,
