"Excellent advice. Also, make sure to finish all seams neatly, either with pinking shears or overcast stitching."

"In 'How to sew a quilt", #3, sew which direction? #5, again which direction or side? #12,which way, how much? #15, Huh? That "explanation" was not informative to me and I've done miles of sewing. How is this for the beginner? Where are the pictures? At least there should be one picture of what your description will make, the way you are directing. So confusing."
