    Good to know! I will be doing a celtic weave design on a wedding quilt border. You've helped me avoid a headache.

    Can you explain in more detail? Or, better yet, with a photo?
    Glad someone brought this up, I was confused also.
    Hi galvestonangel, on page 2, I placed pictures as a help. If you still have questions please pm or ask here again.

    I am happy you will give it a go! Just remember take your time and that it is a bit time consuming. But I do enjoy having a block to work on while watching TV. I have not tried sewing in the car yet.. who knows!
