You have the patience of Job, Klue. I can follow directions, and that was a very definitive answer...thanks, thats what I needed. So now, do you do anything differently when its dinky pieces...I bought alot of 9*11 pieces, and several Fat Eighths bundles online. Same deal on the washing? Thanks in advance. My fabric will hopefully arrive via post by Monday. I am doing the DJ Lessons on the software...and will start the online tutorial by amma and somebody else after that. It is great to see new people hopping on the bandwagon. Welcome! Its going to be embarrassing if you all get ahead of me. LOL.
