I'm a beginner at sewing and luckily I ran into Teresa Coates tutorials on YouTube! She's great, she explains everything with such detail I feel like I'm sitting in her sewing class! I follow all of her tips from the blade I use to cut the fabric to the kinds of cuddle that are best used for binding or backing which has made my experience with Shannon fabrics super fun! I've only made a few things so far and they've all came out great!
