I don't feel so bad I get confused on this too that's why I haven't started one.

I'm a picture person step by step to follow.

Do you have a friend where you could go and watch this video? I was pleasantly surprised because I wasn't a real fan of the book. She has some really good tips that I appreciated.

The first bargello that I made I had to match seams. I really like the idea of 1/2 squares on top and bottom of every other strip. That would be oh so much faster. That was a duh moment for me.

I have a question though...When she says 15 or 18 stitches to an inch, would that be between 1.5 and 2 on some of the machines?

I just finished my first bargello wall hanging and was very surprised at how easy it really was, so don't give up Linda. I read the tute that was posted the other day on here and to be honest, it was very confusing to me. It would be way too easy to get them mixed up and then you'd have a huge mess! I had watched some videos and was still not sure what they were trying to say. Seems like there are several different ways to approach it. I finally found a pattern at e-patternscentral.com with directions that I could understand. I bought it for $4.99 and downloaded it instantly. Since I had never done one before I thought I'd just do part of it and see how it turned out. Here's a snap before I added the border and binding.

This is the same as the link that Lisa_wanna_b_quilter provided. It is a really good video, but Granny couldn't get it to play on her computer.

That was amazing! I could watch her all day and still be entranced!!!!! Loved it. Once I clicked on the link I didn't do anything else. I just waited for it to load and play. It took a little bit of time and I have dsl so if someone has dial up it may take longer but it is awesome!
