I even have a book that tells far more than any other one how to and where to measure. I'd give that book (after they used it on me) to any LQS that had such a service. And in doing so, I'd have to search the store for pretty fabrics for my clothing, since I don't want to spend all that time on just cheapie fabrics. And of course I'll most likely see masses of other materials that would make lovely quilts that I just have to have.
Ah Ramona... can you tell us what the name of that book is? I would love to find a copy for myself. I'm only 46 and new to sewing/quilting, so if someone such as yourself tells me about a REALLY good thing... I want it! Please tell us... thank you!
