Needless to say, since I was doing all of the above, with great success, I'm confused. I've had great luck with my machine, and love the table! Any thoughts??
My first thoughts were not particular printable!
Her method(s) are one way of doing things - many of them NOT my preferred method!
I think YOU are way more advanced than your teacher - you just said your methods worked well for you - success is the proof that they are working!
Just continue to read this board - there are many many areas where even the experienced quilters have their DIFFERING preferred methods - and some of them are award winners!
