I have been shocked at some of the world renown teachers who leave this out. <br /><br />In my opinion it benefits all if the teacher reads and analyzes the results.Diana Angushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06064080545640142443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-40125215178308935942016-11-08T18:53:07.762-05:002016-11-08T18:53:07.762-05:00Bravo!

If people are more improvisational, then take an intermediate class for that. For beginners it's nice to just get them going with the fabric and making seams and pressing and then cut to size. <br /><br />Now I think I maybe should take a class as I don't know how to calculate a half square triangle, and if my most recent exercise in expanding a pattern from throw to king size is any indication, I have no concept of fabric estimating as I ended up going back twice.
