Ipad Upgrade meets with approval
If you want to know what the upgrade was all about: click here Some of the comments we have received since the upgrade came into effect: Your new website is brilliant. I have been frustrated for many months because I just could not access the site properly and since my husband pays the subscription fee was considering cancelling it. No longer - I love the fact that I can access everything on the ipad and it's given me much pleasure. I've just watched among other things,this evening, the video on making the reindeer appliqué together with my five year old grand daughter whilst on holiday and when I go back home I've been asked to make it for her.
Well done and thank you - the new website works brilliantly for me.
Regards Irene
I have just watched Jennie on Safari much much better, thank you.
Best Regards
Ann Very very pleased that I am now able to see vido on my iPad. Just great will be able to use it all Many thanks for getting that up and working - Marian Thank goodness I don't have to use Puffin anymore on my iPad, quite often the script was all broken up and impossible to read.
Love this site and I return to it often to watch your tutorials..
Regards,
Maureen Hurrah!
What’s this bit of my walking foot for?
Question: I have an attchment for my janome machine which enables me to do measured straight lines. I haven't used it for years, and so have forgotten how ! ! It consists of a metal bar about 3 inches long with a right angle prong at the end of it, and 12 years ago it was fantastic for quick quilting diamonds or squares. Have you any ideas please of how I used it?
