Re: Has anyone watched the Update for the Periwinkle Getting The Perfect Point - Your thoughts?
I think I figured out what was wrong with the original video. I have been watching and watching the videos and reading complaints...and I also have a "new" template for it. The original template had a significantly wider "point" than the new template does. Which was fine for the original wacky web quilt the template was designed for, but not so fine for the periwinkle quilt. The template was revised slightly for the magazine, the point is smaller, that is why the points are not a problem when you use the one from the magazine. Even watching the original video, you can see that her completed block has basically no seam allowance at the point. I noticed right away that if she sewed her blocks together, she was going to lose her points. Jenny's new video is essentially a kind of "fix" for those thousands of people who bought the original template and ended up with blocks that had no point. There are a LOT of very upset people who put a couple hundred dollars into making her gorgeous periwinkle quilt and now feel "betrayed "if you will because their quilt was ruined. The amount of complaints that M*QC received was tremendous. This is one reason I make practice blocks. I would never cut all of my fabric up without making a practice block or two first to see how the quilt will ultimately come together. The template has since been revised and following the original instructions is no longer a problem because the points will not be lost.
