Don't give up Barb! We all have days like that. I did'nt know how to PP when we started this either and now it is easier every time I do it. Refer to all the tutes you can find. Amma has a good one on here on PP and look at 'That quilt' for help. Also ask the gals on here, they are very helpful. Show a picture of your problem and someone will answer it. Hang in!!!
