Message for Jan Clark .. thank you for message. Can we meet up at next meeting? Then I can explain some of the problems ..and how I think the page could be better. I will come and find you after you sign in.

Tip from Bernina ..if you use your guides on your footplate to get accurate seams you may find them easier to see at times if you mark them. In pic I have used a pencil to mark my 1/4 inch. Bernina used thin sharpies and different colours to mark 1/4, 3/8, and 5/8 inch marks.

Those of you that have tried to contact us through Facebook please be aware that I often do not see all your message or request. There was one recently from someone who has just started quilting .. cannot read message in full or even find now .. we are currently not meeting .. hope to start again quite soon .. would love anyone to come and join us then. For previous members ..if you paid your sub in Jan or Feb 2020 then you are still a member.
