Thank you! It was so useful to see some of the tricky steps and then also that you talked about some do's and don't's. I've had this pattern for awhile but haven't made it yet so this was very useful :).

You are welcome!
Thank you for your video! Do you sell the set of templates that are already cut to size for the clam ups?
We cut template plastic to size using the pattern to cut ours. You can find template plastic here stitchinpost.com/products/heat-resistant-template-plastic-mylar-12-x-18-sheet?_pos=5&_sid=96c21579b&_ss=r
So nice!
Thank you! 😊
Thankyou for you lovely instructions………
You’re welcome 😊
Great tutorial. Can I. ask… what foot is that on your Janome? I like the look of that and have see people use them on Bernina machines. I have a Janome but not that foot. Thanks!
Hi Sharon, I'm sorry I don't know. I'll try to ask Fern next time she's in.
Can you do this with using just one zipper pull instead of the double? I assume it wouldn't matter but I'm new to bag making.
I tried to get an answer for you, but no one here has tried it. As long as the bag will still open fully it should be ok, but you'll have to try it know for sure. Sorry, we couldn't help more.
Which foot are you sewing with and length of the stitching
I love this Pattern. Can I purchase it as a PDF as I live in Australia.
It is not our pattern, so you would need to contact "By Annie" to see if she has a digital version. www.byannie.com/clam-up
I received a pattern by Annie which was her “Hold Everything” pattern and I am very much struggling with it. I’ve made lots of bags in the past and recently a pho leather and cloth shoulder bag with zippers, magnetic clasps and swivel hooks. Had no trouble with that one as it was a tutorial. She doesn’t make very many tutorials . Her instructions are very hard to follow as there a very few diagrams in them too. Also, I did not get the printer labels as those would of been helpful too. I made my own. What she could of done is once she decided to put labels inside patterns it would of been nice to add those to the patterns she already had for sale. I reached out to her staff through email for help to no NO avail. They will not respond to my emails. However, I don’t quit very easily and will dredge through and have blocked her now from web links, UA-cam ,vids and advertisements. Good luck to you should you have any dealings with her or her company.
I hope you are able to get the answers you want. We have not carried that pattern, to my knowledge.
@@Stitchinpost I did it! It was a challenge for me but it did turn out good . Wish I could attach a picture of it here on UA-cam 🥲. Thank you for your post.
@@tamiroberts9304 That's fantastic!
That was the pattern that turned me completely against purchasing any more of her patterns or products.
WHERE DID THE BUTTERFLIES COME FROM ON THE WALL HANGING?
DO YOU CARRY THOSE ALSO?😊😊😊😊
We did when the video was made but sadly they are gone now. Fabric doesn't last long around here :)
Is there a reason people don’t just cut at the fold?
Fern said she thought that would work too.
DOES A PERSON ORDER FROM YOU FOR THE PATTERN, PLASTIC FOR TEMPLATES AND ZIPPERS PLUS COLOR CHART?
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE SEEN THIS VIDEO. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF I WANTED TO ORDER THINGS HOW DO I DO IT?😊😊😊😊
I AM IN MISSOURI.

Where can I purchase the template
As far as I know there is no ready made template. We cut ours using template plastic from the the pattern. You can find template plastic here stitchinpost.com/search?type=product%2Cpage&q=template%20plastic*
I don’t like her patterns at all. They are confusing, and I refuse to purchase the “version 2” when I’ve already paid for a pattern, and this is just because there are better instructions. I no longer purchase any of her patterns or supplies. I’ve been sewing, clothes, quilts, and craft items for about 60 years, so it’s not like I don’t know what I’m doing
I haven’t bought any of her patterns yet. I’m looking forward to trying one to see if I feel the same way. Thanks for your input 👍
Please CLOSE YOUR ROTARY CUTTER! especially when doing teaching demo's! SAFETY FIRST
That's a good reminder!
