I also have her DVD. Worth every penny!
PP can be fun ---- once you understand it. With Carols books she gives you the sizes your fabric needs to be.
When I took my first class on PP it was not Carols way. The instructor had us approx. the size we needed from our scraps. I unsewed more times because my scrap was just short of fitting grrrr. So, when I did it Carols way it made it so much more enjoyable.
