Sounds good! :thumbsup:
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

I have the Linda Seward book. It’s very comprehensive, if a little dated.

@SingingSinger You should also try to find Judy Martin's Rotary Cutting Guide - it may still be in print. Any of her books are good - never had a dud pattern from one yet. (Look at your quilt on your sofa!)

I enjoy watching Karen Brown of Just get it done Quilts (justgetitdonequilts.com), she's Canadian. Doesn't take herself too seriously!

I like Karen Brown too. I've picked up some good tips from her videos.

I just started on Rotary Magic
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/843882.Rotary_Magic

It starts with the focus on the cutter and leads into other basics of quilting.
You can't scare me. I taught high school for 32 years.
