I really appreciate your tips! This isn't a difficult bag to sew, but having a few shortcuts really helps to speed it along! Thank youuuu! ☺️

Do you have a video from start to finish on your Japanese Knot Bag tips? I'm a beginner. This is too far in the process to understand how you got here and how to finish from this point. Is there another video that is complete from start to finish using your handle tips? Please advise. TY

Please and thank you. I have your pattern and I need a detailed tutorial.

Hi--I bought your pattern and noticed there are no pattern layout guides. How do you lay our your pattern using fat quarters for the small bag. Thank you.

@jenniferparker8627: look at this other KZbin video that clearly shows an easy way to make bag with fat quarters and much easier way to sew handles. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5WypKylbppjq5Isi=zS4vE0BZ6rizNCG8

I made the mistake of buying this "pattern" online for $6 only because I was led to believe it was an actual paper pattern with normal detailed instructions - wrong! It a card sized card stock with a tiny pattern drawing that has to be scanned, printed and cut out with poor instructions. This video is no help either since I can't see what she is doing with her hands in the way. 😐

Looking for full size template. It's not included in pock card pattern that I bought .

[@enolastenson9792]

Just bought this pattern from my local quilt shop and your right, there is no way to down load the template. So it's off to the Staples to get the 400% enlarge. See how well I can figure the instructions

@@Lonestar-Buckeye My card pattern has a password to print out the template.

I am just ready to turn the bag right side out but it appears the long handle is twisted. Do you know where I would have gone wrong without taking out all my stitching? Thank you.

[@sewnwyoming4878]

If it is twisted, there is no way to fix it other than pick it out and untwist it
