Here are some of the questions we are often asked. If there is something else you would like to know, please drop us a message via out contact form and we will do our best to answer it.
What type of sewing machine do you use?
We use a Pfaff Quilt Expression 4.2. The features that we like best include:
- IDF Integrated Dual Feed so we don’t need to use a separate walking foot
- large throat space for quilting
- automatic needle threader
- programmable tie off
- needle up/down function
- variable speed
- dual LED lights
We also use an Elna 654 Overlocker (serger), predominantly when dress making.
What type of camera do you have?
I have a Canon 450D (Rebel XSi) with twin lens kit. I also purchased a EF 50mm macro lens which is great for close-ups of food and craft items. I use Corel Paint Shop Pro to edit photos.
Can I use images from your blog?
You are very welcome to use one image from a blog post provided you link back to us. You may not use more than one photo in your post, and please do not publish an entire tutorial.
Can I sell things I make from your free tutorials?
Are free tutorials are for your personal use only. You may make them to give as gifts, but please do not sell them.
Why did you call your blog A Spoonful of Sugar?
When we started our blog that was the first name that came to us! As we dabble in a range of crafts and love to bake, we thought this suited our blog content. We have always loved the songs from Mary Poppins – such happy music.
