The Craftsy class is really good and lots of help on You Tube.

Ditto!
 
I literally just started because of the intricate and lovely designs. Found Carol Doak's site and yahoo group- which BTW is currently doing a BOM (FREE) and learning and liking! I went to other sites and books however I found her method the easiest and best results for me. I highly recommend her!

One more suggestion,from the Library I check out Carol Doak's book, 40 Fabulous Stars, and it also had an instructional CD included with it. Carol takes you step by step through PPing.

Great idea! Thank you.:)

I agree with QuiltnNan, Carol Doak is a great teacher,, I took a class from her years ago and her instructions are so clear.. If you can, get one of her books with I video. Try Amazon.com they are usually cheaper there. I love the way she explains how to sort you fabric colors.. Good Luck. PP is a little tricky but you will have exact points.
