Who is this Shelly Q and where is her tutorial?

How do you keep the fabric from moving underneath the ruler?
Here is ShellyQ's first tutorial and the second one too :D She is a member of our board who has graciously put together a beginners tutorial for usbeginners. She has quite a few tips and tricks throughout them :D :wink:

If you look around this site there are other tutorials on various subjects that are very helpful also :D

I don't know about the fabric slipping, I only had trouble with the ruler slipping. Maybe someone else will post something to help you with this
