Am I really dumb?

I know this will probably so a totally stupid question, but how do you stitch on a LO on a sewing machine? How do you get a 12x12 paper through that little gap with the needle in without folding it up? Totally baffled!

Not a silly question at all! You can either stitch each peice separatly and then stick them down or I find that I can kind of roll the paper inwards so that it goes through the gap. i hope that this helps

I have done it by hand in the past! I pricked along a ruler, and then hand stitched zig-zags. It looked wicked. Try it!

Ali, not a dumb question at all; I'm getting a sewing machine for Christmas, and I'd been wondering the same thing - had sort of worked out the bit about sewing bits and sticking on, but was also puzzled about the 12x12 aspect

Oh I see!
Not as dumb as I thought then! Thanks for the advice, will give it a go.

Just gentlt roll it. Sometimes you need to stop, take out the LO then turn it around and start at the other end
