Dear Professor Pincushion: I LOVE your classes. You give clear explanations, the camera is well focused so it's very easy to see your drawings and also when you are showing a stitch. Also, your tone of voice is pleasant and well pitched so you're not distracting us from the task at hand. I'm glad that I found you here and I wish you the best in your career. I hope that I can see more of your classes (and you will not be "discontinued" like a lot of my favorite lipsticks...)

In the video, you said to cut along the "fold line." You didn't mean that did you? Thanks!
Professor Pincushion
When you cut out the pattern, you will cut along this foldline line side. when you cut it out on the fabric, then this side does get placed on the fold of the fabric and it is not cut. I hope this makes it clearer.
