North side of roof does not get great amt of sun to melt the snow and iceWould I be better off to add insulation or to have the heating cables applied to that area? The snow seems to melt, move to the edge and freeze up in the gutter and above forming long icicles.
If the snow is melting prematurely then you have an issue with attic insulation/ventingAlthough the snow will not cause problems, the ice buildup will eventually cause premature roof and shingle damage leading to a leaky roof The heat cables are a quick fix, but you need to seek a professionals help to uncover the problemChances are the roof vent has plugged up and not venting properly, which leads up to heat building up in the attic Good luck.
you need to measure your piece of fabric and add 1/2 an inch all round, turn edges over all around a 1/4 inch twice and stitch, (makes hems nice/ neat and tidy ), using an ordinary sewing needle and thread to match your yarn,you slip stitch all around edges, inserting your thread into your crochet and your fabric, job done ! you can do this on your sewing machine, but you must place your fabric face down for a smooth ride under your sewing foot, if your thinking of being really clever, and want to insert a zip ! fabric has to be 2 pieces, do same as above to both pieces, tack zip to top both pieces, using zipper foot sew in zip, and then sew sides first, then bottomHope I've explained enough to give you the idea of how this works! like many other tips, it's so much easier to show face to face !
