Yes I spend a lot of time trying to plan everything well to avoid mistakes, and end up in situations where the stitching doesn't match up and such. Quote

Thanks for taking the time and effort to detail the work so the rest of us can learn to improve our work! YinTx Thank you. The method i've used a lot to improve is to never do things if I feel unsure about the result. Like creasing the card pocket tops (with a regular creaser FN2, not FC) which means I have to "toe and heel" when I crease. The result gets better when I feel confident when I do it, and don't hesitate. So what do I do? I have practiced this on scrap pieces until I get the result I want. I remember someone said it was impressive that I have improved so much when I haven't done a lot of projects. But even though I haven't done a lot of products, I have stitched, creased and painted A LOT of edges on scrap pieces. Which is also good because when I do a project I don't try new things, I stay in my "comfort zone" with methods. But on scrap pieces I can try something that probably will not work as good, but it's worth trying. Quote
