How often do you say "not everyone is going to like this"? On a scale from 1 to 10, how high do you put your choices?
Of course I know that there are no quilting police, but I was just wondering.
I don't know on a scale how high I would go but I do have a little trick that might be useful to some. I am a retired home dog groomer specializing in hand stripping West Highland Whites and Cairns. Did you ever wonder why groomers have large wall mirrors in their grooming rooms? Looking at the dog is not enough to tell if your on the right track. Standing back, looking into the mirror at the dog gives you a different perspective. I do that with fabric. It works.
