I told her this is a magical way to turn several yards of fabric into an 18 inch strip.
Eddie, I have to thank you again for being so crystal clear in your directions.

Toto's Mom, That's beautiful!
Eddie, your tutorial is very user friendly. I started learning the pattern this weekend from another tutorial, yours is less time consuming.
Question: #22. I did not tack my 3 points down. It worked fine for me. What benefit did it give you?

I think that tacking the points down helps to keep them from shifting any when you roll and stitch down the window fabric. I think if I didn't tack them, then knowing me my points wouldn't line up afterwards.

I read this tute yesterday, and it seriously kept me up last night trying to fully understand what is going on here. And now I know. Thank you SO much for the clear directions. I'm confident that I can do this project, and it's because of the great tutorial. No lie. :D

Good job, Eddie. I studied your tutorial but haven't printed it yet. The demonstration was so good it was etched in my mind. I was able to do steps 2-12 from memory because of your visuals. The tutorial I was using before yours 'ironed rather than sewing'. I prefer sewing. Steps 13 forward match the other tutorial. Hope you have a great day. Thanks again for making this easier for all of us.

Eddie, I am sat here spellbound, that was wonderfully done. Thank you so much. I love batiks and intend to try that.

OK, I finally finished this last week, and posted my picture to a new thread.
Changed my mind and made it bigger than I had started out with.
Thanks so much, Eddie, for a most wonderful and clear tutorial.
Never would have attempted this without your very concise instructions.
