lol, I can relate with you there on the pp issue. I watched a demo on it at the quilt show here and tried it out on a simple tulip flower lol welllllllllllll it took me forever to get the little block finished. It seemed I would sew, take out, sew again, take out etc Sigh, I think it must get better once you get the knack for it. I will try again ....
Oh and this was paper foundation.. where you can leave it in. No tearing out the paper .. anyway, it looked easy when she did it!
