I have enjoyed and appreciated some of the Craftsy classes I have undertaken. Most of all I like to work on the projects as I go along. I purchased a medium quality muslin-a bolt as a matter of fact and use batting scraps to make quilt sandwiches. I made some place mat size and some 36 inches square, 45 inches square. One real truth presented itself-I need some kind of design to follow such as a stencil pattern or drawn on paper and then pinned to the quilt. I cannot simply free-form a design as I have seen in some of the videos. However, I should not have been surprised at that because I cannot draw or paint a picture so why would I expect to be able to draw with my sewing machine needle. I just accept this limitation and use other tools to get my design on my quilt. Long story short I tend to be drawn to instruction that helps me use the tools as opposed to the free form classes.
