Personally, it makes me feel better about my accuracy (or lack thereof) when I see the top names sew a crooked or mismatched seam. I've seen a few quilts in magazines that have a less than perfect seam or two so I guess if the professionals don't stress over it I won't either.

I think Jennie has one of the most positive attitudes of anyone around. She is the one that made quilting fun for me and I love watching her tutorials. So she sometimes sews a crooked seam, haven't we all?

I also enjoy Jenny's tutorials. And because 99.9% of what I make is for my family, I don't stress over seams and points that aren't 100% perfect. For me, I enjoy the sewing and quilting process. If I stressed over it, it would feel like a job and then most of the pleasure would be gone. If someone wants to take my things apart and check my seam allowances or check my points, then go ahead. Life is to short and I have way to many projects I want to make for me to worry about perfection.

I looove to watch Jenny and Eleanor's tutorials! I thought it was just me who seems to go slowly.

I totally agree - I love to watch her tutorials, so many ideas and really quick ways of doing things. I have made 3 quilts using her method of making a chevron quilt and they all turned out great. I am however very cautious when it comes to my cutting and also my seams, I think she is just demonstrating easy ways to make different patterns for quilts. As someone else said, a lot of prep work goes on behind the videos.

I heard Nancy Zieman say one time that she does her worst sewing on camera. I think all of these great sewing pros are just showing us how to do something. We can then do it as slow or fast as we want to get the results we want.

I love watching both of these ladies. If I had to make sure my quilts had to be perfect, I would no longer quilt. I have enough stress in other parts of my life.

Well, I have seen Jenny in person and she is just as bubbly and happy off camera as on! And while she does use almost all precuts she does use yardage as well and ALWAYS stresses using your local quilt shop first. She has great ideas for "easier" sewing of quilts, which is great for me. Her quilts are to be loved and used to death, which is what mine are, and are not for quilt shows. She showed many of her quilts during her presentation and if there were crooked seams, etc. it was not evident. Love, love Jenny. She makes quilting more exciting and happy!
