    I've had a few tries at pping, but had some frustrations as well....I usually get the fabric piece laid wrong and then it doesn't cover the paper fully..:( I'm sure the book would give some helpful tips to success...

    I want this book more than almost anything else. I need to learn how to do this because I think this I could do sitting down and not have to stand a cut with a rotary cutter. I know some people can sit and use the rotary cutter but I can't even use it right standing so what chance do I have sitting? None that's how much. Thank you for the opportunity to win this.
