I like SnW better than OBW, personally. Altho the lining up and cutting are basically the same...the construction is so much easier. When I first did it, I really had to read the "how to " part several times---out loud, helped, believe it or not! And as I was lining up the layers, I read a paragraph, did it, read, etc. then suddenly the light came on and it all made sense, then the magic of sewing it together was fun!!!!!!!
