    Hi ! I purchased your book, Stitch by Stitch, many years ago and have loved it. Unfortunately, the cd no longer works. I am wondering if I can purchase a replacement cd. Thanks.

      Hi, Kristen! The best suggestion I can offer is to contact the publisher directly: F+W, out of Cincinnati. They may be able to send another CD along to you? The book is no longer in print, and there weren’t any digital files prepared back in 2010, but they may have copies there of the CD. Hope that helps! I’m so glad you love the book!

        Hi! I also purchased the Stitch by Stitch book with the CD-Rom, but am not able to retrieve the patterns because computers do not have CD-Rom drives anymore. I was wondering if there was a way to get the patterns associated with the book if I show proof of owning it.

    I have a treddle sewing machine I’d like to donate to an organization that would ship the machine to a third world countries. I remember seeing a news segment on tv along time ago. Do you have any information I can follow-up on to make the donation happen. Thank you for any information you can give.

    Oh forgot, I’m in the Atlanta area but would be willing to take a road trip within the Southeast to drop off my machine.

    Were you aware that website contact page messages like this one are in effect an excellent way to generate leads for your site? How can we do it? Easy, we create an advertisement like the one you’re reading now for you and we blast it out to tons of contact pages on any site in any business niche or location you like. Do these types of ads work? Since you’ve ready my entire message then you’re proof that they do! What’s more, this won’t cost you much more than a hundred bucks a month! Want more info? fire off a quick email to: [email protected]

    Hello, I am writing about your kindle cover tutorial posted on march 12, 2012.
    I can’t find measurements and instructions that you have written we can print from the link

    Can you help me, please? I like it very much and I’d love to realize It by myself!

    Hello Deborah, believe it or not, I have had your contact info for years, and just now took the time to research your store; then to find out you are closed. What a let down, because I always love meeting fellow sewers! I read your reason to close your store, and I completely get it. My children are now 30 and 24, and unfortunately that window of time goes by fast, it’s like a blur. So take it from a fellow sewing junkie, you definitely did the right thing. I am now doing what I truly love, and it has been quite a journey. For the longest time, I wanted to take my sewing to the next level, and I couldn’t have done it juggling work and family. Kudos to you! Hopefully, we can have an opportunity to meet.

    Hello. I’ve used your method to make hundreds of yards of bias tape to use on the dresses I make for “Little Dresses for Africa”. I’ve sent over 350 dresses and they’re all finished with bias tape binding the armholes and for the ties on the shoulders. Thanks for inventing this. I have to admit though, if I haven’t used the method for a while, I usually still screw up the first effort and have to start over. Thanks so much for sharing this

      Hi, Heidi! I would love that! We’ve talked about making plans for one but the last 18 months have taken that off the table temporarily. I’m looking at the calendar to see what might make sense (and not get cancelled)–once something’s scheduled, I’ll announce it in my newsletter and on the blog. You can subscribe to my emails in the right sidebar! Hope that helps, it would be so fun to sew together in person! 🙂

    Hi Debra, I ran across your page on Pinterest, because of your penny tile in your kitchen. I am now redoing my kitchen, and have chose penny tile. I tried to find a pair finished product of your penny tile in the kitchen after the grout, and everything was done, I couldn’t find one. I was wondering if you could post a finished picture of your penny tile after it was crowded and done? Thank you so much.

    Hi, I am working on your sampler quilt. This is my first quilt and I am definitely hooked! I am hoping to send you pictures of my finished quilt. Is this possible? I actually made 3-4 of each block so that I could make this into a king size quilt!

    Hi Deborah, I’m in awe of your quilted camping blankets for storing patches. Is there any chance you’d consider selling them? I’d love to make my own patch collection on a beautiful quilt.

    Kind Regards,
