Though the streaming was very intermittent, I watched the whole thing and remembered way back when I first started quilting and I did it the exact same way . . even saw an old brass hook scale hanging on the left door frame as the customer was walking into the back room, that I still have today in my kitchen . . . I used sandpaper for templates so they would not slip or old x-ray films (soaked in the tub with bleach for hours removes the dark parts and leaves behind a nice stiff transparent plastic for cutting templates). Wow, it is sooo much easier today even though I am having a difficult time understanding all the terminology . . . Thanks for sharing the site and letting me relive some incredible memories of a time long gone by.
