Once I got into it, I found PP really easy, but maths was my best subject at school and in an IQ test at work I got told I see "patterns" really easily, so maybe that's got something to do with it.
I have been doing mine on violene (sp) instead of paper, that really thin tissue like stuff (not the iron on one) so that there is no removing the paper afterwards, you can just leave it on. And then it's just a matter of following the numbers and sewing down the lines. Easy peasy!
