Anyone can do what I have done! I had a wonderful teacher that I just loved. She said...
1. If I see your blade NOT retracted, you are out of my class!( I am rather weak stomached so this was really easy for me to remember!)
2. Press, don't iron (then she showed us the difference) That was so valuable!
3. Always steam!
4. 100 %Cotton in your cotton quilts, as polyester/cotton will "beard up" She showed us examples...it looks like fuzz balls.
5.If you have questions, ask! Any question is a great question.
6. Practice your 1/4"
I just loved her! She was the most direct and wonderful teacher I have ever had. There are plenty of times I have her her reminding me of something she had taught. The ladies I have taught in my home have all had the very same instruction.
Thanks so much for looking and for your kind comments.
