No. Once you save the design to your profile it becomes yours.
Thank you!
You are so welcome!!

You do not need a pro account for designs you purchased.

I would think that you will have access to all the items you upload or that are shared with you.
What were the tension settings you used on your machine?
I just used the default tension settings.

Do we put the water stabiliser on top of the vinyl on top of the water stabiliser if doing a tshirt
I’m not sure what you are asking. Are you trying to embroider vinyl on a tshirt?
Do you have a pattern book for sale. All of these are beautiful.
I do not! But that is a great idea!!
Great video. I also doing this rope coasters from Asia. May I know the suitable machines for this. Thanks
I use a Janome 8200, but most sewing machines that are capable of stitching a zig zag stitch should be able to sew rope.
@@TheBirchCottage thank you very much ❤️❤️
Donde se compran esos diseños?
These designs are from Embroidery Library (www. Emblibrary.com)
These are beautiful cards 😍
Thank you!!
Love your collection.
Thank you!
Is this pattern still available? I'd love to make this. Your tutorial was wonderful, thank you! Love your pattern weights, too. I subscribed but didn't receive an email with the pattern. I can see the instructions on line but don't know how to print the templates. Would appreciate help, if you can. Thanks so much.
Yes, this pattern is still available. You just need to fill out the form on the blog post page requesting the pattern and it will be emailed to you. If you still don't receive it, just email me at pam@thebirchcottage.com.
Hi...I really like the fabric you chose, I use folkart spray sanding sealer on both sides of clay pots, and I find that it sucks up much less paint for the project and the pot lasts more years looking great...best wishes 🎉
That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing!!
thank you for all the information. have you ever had to replace your machine's LED light bulb?
No, I have not yet had to replace the light.
So sweet idea love bit how well does hot glue hold in rain?
That is a good question. The hot glue holds up extremely well. I have had bird feeders up for over two years now.
Embroidery is a very nice touch! What size machine needle is used for constructing the basket itself? I am having trouble finding that information again. Someone mentioned jeans needles, someone else mentioned size 100/16, but I can't remember what size clothesline they used with those needle sizes. This "little" detail seems to be skipped over in so many videos...🤷♀️ But, it could make a Big difference in a successful project..💁♀️ Thank you!
Hi, Wendy. I do cover that in my video on how to actually sew the rope basket. I used a denim/jeans needle to stitch the rope basket Here's the needle I used: amzn.to/3EwthNK I hope this helps!
I went on your blog, and I am unable to download your pattern. What should I do?
Hi, you don't actually "download the pattern from my blog". What you do is, complete the form requesting the pattern and it will be emailed to you. So, if you go to the tutorial page and scroll down near the bottom, you should see a form where you enter your first name and email address. Once submitted, the pattern will be emailed to you. I hope this helps!
Yes, I did do that, but it wasn't emailed to me.
Hi again, I did get it to work. Thank you!
It won't let me download the pattern It says it foes not exist 😮
There is a form below the tutorial where you enter your first name and email address and the pattern will be emailed to you. If you will email me your email address, I can check on it for you. You can email me at pam@thebirchcottage.com Thanks!
I absolutely love your sewing patterns I have been trying to get your casserole dish cozy and this one above . I have subscribed and put in my name and email address as it says to for the pattern but nothing ever is in my email? It says it does not exist if i go onto your original site and (click here ) like it says to ....but nothing 🤔 I really would love to have tjise 2 sewing patterns. Thank you so very much 😍
Could you email me at pam@thebirchcottage.com? Thank you!
So both fabrics right side out. I wonder if insul-brite has a right/wrong side... Like if the metallic side should be next to the interior fabric, to reflect the heat, or maybe it doesn't matter. Hi Pam...form Texas! =)
According to Insul-Bright, it doesn't matter which way you place the insulated batting. I tend to place the metallic side towards the inside, but it's just a personal preference. Hope this helps!
I tried finding ur amazon page not there?? I'm going to try this I only use iron skillets for everything ❤❤❤
Thanks for letting me know. I just corrected the link. You can find my Amazon shop here: www.amazon.com/shop/birchcottageblog

Thank you! 😊
Do you use same color in the bobbin as well?
No I don’t use the same color in the bobbin.
I am not tech savvy with my computer but have a downloaded adobe file that has to be printed in poster form. But I can’t get my computer to print it. I get message unable to print document no pages selected. Have an HP printer not sure if it’s no longer compatible with the adobe program?? Any suggestions
There could be a number of reasons. The most likely is that somewhere in the file settings, Adobe sees the file as an image. You can try this: Open the PDF file in Acrobat/Reader. Choose File > Print. Click Advanced button in the Print dialog box. In the resulting Advanced Print Setup dialog box, select Print As Image and click OK. If this doesn’t allow you to print the document, you may want to make sure your Adobe application is up to date and that the printer drivers are also current. Hope this helps!
Very beautiful & easy step by step tutorial Thank you for sharing.❤
Glad you liked it. Thank you!! 😊
Such a clear presentation; easy to follow and loaded with content.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!!😊
i got a canva document from etsy. i have to import different book covers to the template i received. i was trying to do this on an ipad but it wasn’t working. do you think i need to do it on a laptop? i could not copy a book and past onto the template. thanks in advance
I have found that the iPad doesn’t work as well. I would definitely try a laptop or desktop computer, if that’s an option for you. To be clear, you are able to upload the document (pdf or image), but you’re not able to copy/paste an image into your design. Again, I would definitely try using Canvas in the browser on a laptop or desktop computer and not in the application in a phone or tablet.
I love the combination of some of my favorite hobbies!! Your cards turned out so beautiful. 🤩
Thank you so much! This is a fantastic n project!
What needle do you use? Just a machine embroidery needle?
Yes. I just used a regular machine embroidery needle.
Thank you! Im no longer stressed at the idea of making one of these, because I had no idea where to even start, until I watched this video. You make it look effortless; Bravo!!
Aww… thank you!!
Did you have to smash it down some. Mine kept getting hung up and not moving freely. I was so frustrated. It doesn't see that there is a pressure foot adjuster on my machine. It is a beautiful project. Thanks for sharing.
I did not have to smash down the rope. I did use 100% cotton rope that has a cotton core. Is that what you are using? And is your problem occurring when you are sewing the rope or when embroidering on the rope?
Great photos!
Thank you!
Thanks so much for a great tutorial. I have downloaded your instructions and will certainly give the note cards a try.
Wonderful! I hope you love making them!
I love these. Altho I would appliqué some flowers on rather than using a glue gun. It would surely get flattened in transit
Appliqué is a great idea!
What a fun project. I am anxious to make some of these. Thank you for sharing.
Once I got started making them, I just kept on! Glad you like the idea!!
Oh my!! I see another addiction coming up!!!
Exactly, right?!!
thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial....so well done and such a beautiful finish.....love how you incorporated scrap fabric with scrap paper in this project. great project and thank you again. I will certainly give this a try.
So glad you like the tutorial.
Awesome can’t wait to try this one
Awesome you found a new sewing project!!
Hello, I have subscribed but have nor received the pattern, can you help me with what I should do please. Thank you.
Sure. Can you email me at pam@thebirchcottage.com?
I'm not able to find the pattern for this cozy. Please help me. Thanks!
Sure. Just go to this page and scroll down near the bottom of the blog post. You should see a form where you can request to have the pattern emailed to you. Then enter your name and email address and submit the form. You’ll then get an email with a link to download the pattern. www.thebirchcottage.com/sew-casserole-dish-cozy/
It turned out so pretty. Thanks for showing how to make the pattern 🌻
That's so awesome to hear! Thanks for lettig me know!
What a fabulous idea!! Question: after embroidering did you cut the canvas to the approximate size of the frame and then staple?
Thank you!! ❤ Yes, that’s exactly what I did! Once I stitched the design, I layer the frame down on the canvas, traced around the frame and then trimmed the canvas just inside the marking. Then I stapled it onto the back of the frame.
