Good to know! I will be doing a celtic weave design on a wedding quilt border. You've helped me avoid a headache.

Glad someone brought this up, I was confused also.
Hi galvestonangel, on page 2, I placed pictures as a help. If you still have questions please pm or ask here again.

I am happy you will give it a go! Just remember take your time and that it is a bit time consuming. But I do enjoy having a block to work on while watching TV. I have not tried sewing in the car yet.. who knows!
