It's Personal
Hello and Thank You for visiting our new website.
I'm so excited to have this new venue to share my personal thoughts with you.
I only hope that you will find it enjoyable to hear about my experiences and to share your experiences with me.
First and foremost I would like to apologize to you if you have sent me an email from the last website. We had technical problems with the contact page and the send button has been stuck since December. A problem that is out of your control is hard to fix and hard to find someone to fix the problem. Now that has been taken care of and we can only go forward and enjoy what we have now working and fabulous. Thank you for your patience.
I am amazed when I'm at a show or going to a presentation and there are always remarks from the attendees that they had already checked me out on the website. You are all so well versed and such little techees.
So let's get down to business.
Whenever I sell a pattern, a kit or even a yard of Pellon® Quilter's Grid On Point, I want that person to be successful and proud of the project they are doing with my technique. I have tried to make the patterns clear and easy to follow. However, I have learned a lot, and I take it personal when someone is having a problem with the technique.
That is the reason why I'm doing this page on the website.
I will be giving advice that I think is worthwhile.
I also will answer questions that are common in the classroom, and at my demo table. I will share the bloopers in class and the wonderful and delightful experiences I receive from the students and of course the customers.
First and most important: Purchase a pattern.
If you have watched me at a show or presentation I can show the technique in about 3 minutes, however remembering and understanding what you saw once you leave the demo table is very difficult and I don't give it all away during the demo. I always say; "If it was that simple, someone would have written a pattern long before I did." Please respect the copyright laws, time and efforts to have them published.
Second most important:
Make sure that you have purchased Pellon® #821 Quilter's Grid On Point™. You should make sure that the piece of Pellon® does not have a stretch in the interfacing base product. You can do the stretch test by just giving a light pull in both directions, if the Pellon® stretches you need to replace it with a piece from us. Two years ago the Pellon® Company printed the fusible grid products on a stretch base. It was pulled from the warehouse as a mistake however; some of the product did get on the open market. What happens when you use that product is when it is heated it will stretch and then the fusible glue bleeds through to the other side. This causes all kinds of problems. All is corrected now. Very important to check.
Now the rest is all fun.
Choosing your fabrics, enjoying the thought of who this gift is going to be given to, and starting a technique that you have never used before are the adventure in your future. You will experience instant gratification with your first seam and continue that feeling as the technique proceeds.
Fast, Simple and Perfect is what we are all about.
