the tutorial is several pages long. it was split between two chat classes. there are two ways to see the WHOLE tutorial:
1. start on page 1 and read through all the pages to the end.
2. download the word document that shows ALL the steps, offers helpful hints, and incorporates answers to the questions asked during classin the chat room and in the posts others added to the tutorial pages.
naturally, i've kept my eye on this topic. i've been both amused and .... oh ... what's the word? .... not amused .... by the realization that [almost?] nobody who's offering advice or criticism of the tutorial seems to have gone through it completely.
it isn't a fancy shmancy book you'll pay a small fortune for. it's also true that there are many free - and very good - tutorials on the internet for wedding rings done differently. but i'm pretty sure it can be very helpful to anybody who takes the time to read and follow the whole thing.
Last year, I started one using the templates and instructions from your tutorial (which I read through because I was TOTALLY confused before starting the project, LOL) using the folded middle, instead of cutting the edges, and pieced arcs, it was going together pretty smoothly, but it was pretty time consuming and is now a ufo in my top drawer, lol!
Last week I came across this

and I really like the idea of solid coloured arcs, with quilting or embroidery in the arcs, and I figured I could use the templates from your pattern and put it together slightly differently. It obviously didn't pan out on the first try, lol! I figured by putting it together in blocks like the ones a quarter of the way down on the page I posted up there, it would be easier to keep track of the colours I would use, where they go, and how many I need. I think I like your way better, but live and learn right? :oops: :D
