I’m working on my 3rd one of Judy Niemeyer patterns. I enjoy her patterns but you would really like to paper piece. They are all paper pieced. I like the clean crisp points you get with paper piecing. Never took one of her classes although I may someday. I do read the pattern until I understand what is says to do. Yes, I may read the same sentence over and over. I don’t cut the pattern pieces out like she says to do. Instead, I cut strips wide enough and long enough to cover the pattern. So strip piecing. I’m not in any great hurry. Lol!! But take my time until I’m happy with it. Definitely not for someone who needs it done quick. Also, she is available for a phone call to clarify anything. I talked to her earlier this year. And she will send you new papers if you need them, for mistakes. You can see my quilts if you click on my avatar which will bring you to my page. This is just how I do it. Everyone does it their own way. Good luck. I can’t wait to start another one.
