Hi Anael, thank you for your kind words. It is just a different perspective. Leah explains and shows you how to do the designs in a video and Angela explains it in writing with photos and diagrams with little arrows and dots showing you where to start and stop. This works very well for me when I use my small dry erase board or sketch pad and pencil to draw the design before testing it on fabric. Drawing helps form the muscle memory so to when I try it on fabric it comes almost automatically. It is quite magical.
I also have two of Leah's books with photos and they are great to use as catalogs to select a design.
Finally, I have enrolled in both Leah's and Angela's classes on Craftsy.com. It is a great platform for learning.
Take care,
Nicky
