Thanks for the suggestion and so sorry that happened to you! It is so frustrating when one has embroidery problems! I hope you are through that end of it and can enjoy moving on with the project!

Can you get the fabric from a dealer in the UK? I live in Manchester

I have requested that information from Benartex but they are dependent on the English distributor to get that information. Hopefully they will be forthcoming, but it can be hard to get that information in the UK unfortunately.

Amanda,
I notice you do not backstitch or tie off threads. I am worried they will be less secure and come apart. Advice?-
I don’t usually backstitch or tie off threads when piecing. They will be locked in the seams so I’ve never had a problem. The one time I might backstitch is when applying the final border pieces, which won’t be secured by subsequent seams.

Okay, I`m confused. I stitched out the first triangle block. Now the book said there should be 41/2 inches from the center to side of triangle. On here you said to change that to 3 1/2. My finished design came as 4 1/2 in from the center of the design to the side of the triangle. Is this right or wrong?

The file itself is right, so if you lined up the edge of the triangle on the initial placement line as pictured in the second to last picture on this post you should be good. The file stitches the center of the motif 3-1/2” (rather than 4-1/2”) from the placement line. That is why there is a correction from 4-1/2” to 3-1/2” for the measurement as listed in the booklet. I’ll be doing a video on this for next month showing the whole process. If you are using the file with the placement lines you actually don’t have to even mark the center of the motif. You can just place the triangle edges on the placement lines. The only reason you really would need the center marks are if you are replacing the motif with another embroidery design of your choice.
Does this make sense? I am teaching tomorrow but will check back tomorrow night.-
Perfectly. I did follow you when you said use the placement lines, and my motif looks just like yours. I blew up the picture and matched the hoop and motif to it to it and they match, so I guess all is good. Thanks

Will you be leaving the videos and info on this site for quite awhile? I still have not received my fabric kit from my dealer and Christmas is coming so I can not start until late Jan.

Everything will be up in perpetuity so no worries!

Hello Amanda,
I just received my fabric kit so will try to catch up. One question before I start cutting — is the final block size 6″ or 6 1/2″? It would be so helpful if the length of each side was included.Thanks so much for a great project!!!

Nancy,
The final block size is 6-1/2”, although once pieced into the quilt they finish at 6” if that makes sense. If you are cutting from the printed booklet make sure you have the corrections. You can find them at https://www.amandamurphydesign.com/Jubilee125_CORRECTIONS.pdf.-
Thank you — I just needed to make sure before I started cutting!!

Trying to find out— I screwed up one of the embroidery triangles for Fabric D. I have 32” left after cutting everything in the cutting instructions. Are there more borders, bindings to cut later? Or, am I good to redo this block?

I tried very hard to cut all the pieces out as per the instructions in the fabric kit, and the accompanying corrections, plus a couple more corrections provided by my lovely dealer, and STILL managed to screw up. I cut out the 19.5″ square for the side embroidered triangles, and even though I kept re-reading the instructions, didn’t figure out that I was supposed to make quarter square triangles, not half-squares, and compounded the problem by doing it again so that I would have the required 8 triangles to embroider. Happily, my dealer saved my bacon by giving me her leftover fabric from the kit she made up. But just a gentle suggestion, Amanda, perhaps you could clarify the instructions for the two kinds of triangles, using the keywords half-square and quarter square. (I know I could have used the ones I created if I hadn’t already embroidered 7 of them, and totally destroyed the eighth by having an embroidery meltdown on my machine that involved lots of thread tangles, lint balls, broken needles and holes in the fabric)
