i have the video but i haven't watched it. i also haven't tried the laser because i'm too short to see what's going on over there. i use a chalk marker to draw right on the fabric and i follow that. i've been thinking about the design boards. my dh thinks he may be able to do some simple ones in block shape for me. i would buy a stylus and mount it on the sliding sled itself, as recommended by ernie. when i called for help i spoke to isaac.
