Learning Day
I am really enjoying the free Craftsy classes today. I've watched Finishing School with Mimi Dietrick and Start Machine Quilting with Paula Reid. I'm in the middle of Mastering Foundation Paper Piecing with Carol Doak. Now, I don't use the same method she uses, but she is the Master of the technique and I'm sure to learn a thing or 10. I do use copy paper, but she recommends newsprint... and the difference is amazing. Of course she sells her brand of it, but I'd be tempted to buy it at the dollar store and cut it the correct size for my printer... because I'm frugal like that LOL. I'm jotting down the tips since this is a one-day deal. I learned a lot from the Paula Reid class too... she gives me hope that I Can do FMQ... she gives a lot of tips to make it easier and ease the pressure of making it perfect. I hope this helps with the actual class with a national teacher that our guild is having in October. Break is over, so back to the lessons.
