See p50 for her tips on visible mending and…

How did you first get introduced to quilting and sewing? My family and I came to Canada as immigrants when I was quite young. My mother took classes in sewing at a local college and found work at a tailor's shop. She sewed our clothes growing up and I learned to sew alongside her.

As a keen multi-crafter, you make all kinds of things, from hand stitched bags and fabric baskets to cushions, clothes and blankets. Do you have a favourite thing to make, something you keep coming back to? Production work occupies a good…

BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO: RAW EDGE APPLIQUÉ Use the set of 20 retro floral appliqué templates that come with this issue to gain confidence with machine appliqué, following two super easy methods! TOP TIPS FOR MACHINE APPLIQUÉ: ■ Don’t use a heat erasable pen to mark out your templates, it will disappear when you iron it! ■ Raw edge appliqué doesn’t require seam allowances. If converting a hand appliqué project to a raw edge machine appliqué project, remove the seam allowance. ■ If you are using light coloured fabric that will go on top of another piece, then you can get a better finish by using some iron-on interfacing. Press the interfacing onto the back of the fabric, before adding the Heat n Bond. This will prevent colours from showing…
