I watched the Sharon Schamber tute on YouTube and I ordered the light weight backing and the glue tips. I finally started on the first block yesterday. I improvised with freezer paper and a washable glue stick. It worked good but I am still having trouble with the inner curve on the hearts. I finally got the points figured out. I will try to finish the block this week. I only work for 2 hours at a time so it will probably take me a week to do a block.
