Crescent Moon Quilts

I just found this post. I know it is old. But if any of you are still following, I have put in my two cents.
Most certainly go! if you get the chance. First, there is nothing boring about the lectures. Jodi is a great speaker. Second, you do not need a bunch of rulers. The main ruler comes in two sizes. They work the same. It is individual preference only. She offers two other "convenience rulers" for the 4-patch and 9-patch. These rulers take the human eliminate factor out of making an error. If you have not mastered the traditional method of making the 4 and 9 patch, you will love using these two rulers.
Third, get over the bias! If you are warping your blocks, you are man-handling it. You will be sewing these bias edges to each other, anyway.

Remember ladies, if you are a traditional long time quilter, change is always hard to deal with. There is not a right way or a wrong way of any method of quilting. This method is meant to get your quilts made quickly and not get discouraged. Yes, you may use a little more fabric. Think about how much fabric you waste because you never finish your project!

Blunted tips prior to piecing is not a bad thing. If the blunt is a quarter of an inch, this means your surround strip was too narrow in the first place. If you have an 1/8 inch blunt, no harm. You will make your seam allowance.

Pointed tips in your sewn blocks will be perfect. If they are not, you need to practice your quarter in seam allowance. Many times, you may be using the wrong foot. The quarter inch foot with the metal guide does not work using this method. Most machines will have one that you can purchase with out it. There are also many guide line tools available to help you maintain that quarter of an inch. Only three things can be wrong, measuring, cutting, or sewing.

In Texas, there are many "Certified SNS Instructors" Jodi's website can provide you with one in your area. They are all credentialed by Jodi Barrows. There are videos current and up to date on her website.

Give it another chance. Dust those rulers off, pull them out of the drawer, and find you an instructor or watch her videos. You will catch on and will have a "V8 moment"
