Your help was greatly appreciated!
Your help was greatly appreciated. Being a beginner paper piecer, you did a great job in helping me understand the steps.
Lots of Shortcuts…
I loved Kathy’s enthusiasm!. The class eval didn’t go high enough — it topped out at “Outstanding”. I learned lots of shortcuts. The class was challenging because I tend to be slower sewing in a group.
I took Kathy’s online class – She was AMAZING!
I took her online class and she was amazing! Everything I needed was listed in the preclass materials. Getting a front row seat (via Zoom) was great as was the ability to ask questions as we went along.
