    I completely agree. Her technique is easy to follow. Her Foundation paper piecing class on Craftsy is worth it. You can ask questions and rewind the lessons as much as you need.

    I agree with both above answers. If I'm burying the threads, I don't backstitch, just draw the threads to the top and hold onto them. If I'm doing a "utility" quilt where it doesn't matter, I'll...

    I've owned Janomes for years - decades actually, but who's counting. Love them. I think you get a lot more for less money with a Janome than you do with some other brands.
