Where do you start? Most important to me is to begin on a piece that isn't important to you...a sample sandwich for practice only. I, too, recomment Leah Day's website where there is a wealth of info. Be sure to begin with easy designs such as a whole row of u's or s's to get the feel of free motion. Then progress to straight lines going horizontally and vertically. Then loops and on to feathers. Remember at all times...this is going to take practice, practice! Good luck.
