hi carole, i know what you mean; felt the same way about "the perfect print". i decided just to "jump in" and learn as I go. I know about OCD & decided there is no perfect answer, so just go for it & learn as i go.
monika, thanks i'll try that
nikkilu, i'm in st louis!!
BellaBoo, i liked the "finding & acquiring" not so much the deboning, maybe it will change.
thanks all for the encouragement, fayzer, yes i plan on sharing my journey with others who "understand"
can't wait to share what i've come up with.
