This looks so hard
My grandmother was one of those people who made all her projects look easy. She painted, quilted, and made all sorts of things. She told me there is no such word as can't. You just have to try.
So, I tried my hand at lots of things. Some were good. And some found their way to the trash bin. She taught me to experiment and figure out what works best.
I spent years attending classes through my guild and learning from others.
And you get the benefit of my hard work. I have tried various techniques and taken the best of all of them. Then, combined them into this amazing class.
If you can use a straight stitch on your machine, stitch along a drawn line, press fabric reliably, and follow along with the video demonstration, you can do this!
This technique works because it is easier than it looks. When you get compliments, you can beam and let them think you are a superstar. Or you can encourage them to learn too. Either way, you have a new family heirloom!
