Good to see you back here, JanRN!!!
We'll help you get over the PPing hate .... after all, if I can come to like it, you can too.

A year ago, I saw no sense in it. At Easter I did my first PPing wall hanging and detested it .... though later I found out I chose a difficult one to do. Then once I shortened up my stitch, the results changed immensely, and I was away to the races. The more I've done with FWS the more confident and comfortable I am with it. Not all my blocks are PPd, though I find I'm doing more of them that way. And I think PC will become a totally PP project, just so I can say that's what it is!

The results are incredibly accurate and as you said .... perfect points (and more!)

I see it as paint-by-numbers meet dot-to-dot .... both things I loved as a kid!
And anything to feel like a kid again, is good!!! Right?
