This is the question from Janice: like you I just love the look of the log cabin and am about tho venture down this road.  Can you tell me - is the strips cut on the bias or just straight across?   Here is our answer:

Here is the question: Hi, I have a Brother RH127 sewing machine, can you please tell me what size needle I require to stitch denim. I shall be making a denim patchwork cushion cover so will need to stitch through more than one layer. Kind regards, My answer was that I would try a denim needle (or on reflect a jeans needle) size 90/100 as these are robust.
