    Thanks for this tutorial Yvonne. There are many one directional fabrics on the market at present so this will help enormously.

    This is great Yvonne. You did a wonderful job explaining something that can be quite confusing. Adding the little extra bit of explanation at the end really helps.I usually fold it back to see if it’s how I want it. But could still get it mixed up when I turned it over. Thanks for the tutorial.

  35. Isn’t that a great little tip! Thanks!

I really appreciate the time and thought you take to comment, and I look forward to conversing with you. :)
