Hi Jackie,
I don't care for pp because you can't see what you are doing. You are sewing with the fabric under the paper, and you must follow the numbers too. Think it is just me, but it was very nerve racking for me. I was really sweating it. I knew that if I didn't do it at the retreat, I would never do it. I had not noticed when I ordered the kit that it was done by pp. I just saw those colors and loved it. If you can sew on the line, and don't mind it being upside down, you might just love it. People who like perfection usually like it, because all of your points should come out perfect with this technique. But doubt if I will ever do another.
