Measure Twice, Cut Once
....and other life and business lessons learned from quilting. Makers have stories! And crafters have skills!
In these casual chats and interviews, I (often with a guest) talk honestly about creativity. The joy, and hope, and even healing it can bring, and the businesses we can build doing the things we love.
Measure Twice, Cut Once
Sue Heinz - Remarkable teacher and tool designer
Sue Heinz is a gem of a teacher, but WHAT she teaches is equally remarkable. Her quilting tools and designs are in a class of their own.
Sue shares some rich (and maybe never-before-heard?) stories about personalities and history in the quilting industry. We chat at length about the value of giving credit where it's due, and the life-changing power of connections.
Plus we give a good plug for Elmer's sticky stuff (NOT glue, you understand).
Sue is absolutely genius in her development of tools that make complex measurements and marking very do-able for the machine quilter. And she follows that with incredibly creative and original quilting designs and motifs. I know this firsthand, as I personally use her tools and designs A LOT.
You can find Sue and her fabulous tools and classes right here:

Are you looking to ADVANCE your machine quilting skills?
Machine quilting can be very solitary, especially on a longarm. It's just not that easy to pack up your machine and head to a friend's house for the day, right? But it's important to have that community - that sharing of ideas and tips, encouragement and motivation.
