Thanks for that link jeaninmaine- those are fun to watch and I hadn't seen that one before. I love how she has such great "efficiency" methods, those are real gems from her. Again though, a lot of my questions and "what??" come from the pressing I saw. I am seeing ironing instead of pressing (running the iron across the fabric instead of lifting and pressing which is what is usually written as a guide to good pressing, yet I continually see quilters ironing instead). If I "press" my HST open like she does, it stretches out the diagonal seam. Also, if I press my quilt strips like she demonstrated, I get a slight bowing out of the edges at the center of the strip. It seemed like she had a really hot iron and didn't have to do very much pressing to get the job done. I would love it if my iron performed like hers.
I'll have to make time to watch the rest of those 2 videos. Thanks again.
