Andree, thanks for asking! Ebony's class was excellent! Very information rich, with lots of comparisons among all the brands of cutters. She talked a lot about the importance of fabric grain orientation, and the the reason that some dies need to be run thru "crooked". One of the biggest light bulb moments for me was using the cutter for pre-pieced units...I had no idea you could do that. So of course, I had to come home and try it...

That looks stunning! Thanks for the info... I know what i'll be doing tonight!

gynconnie OFFLINE Posts: 730 Thank you received: 27	Ebony has a great book with 250 pages of information, troubleshooting, and Q&A. I probably would have gotten my GO! out of the box much sooner if I had it when I bought my cutter!

gynconnie OFFLINE Posts: 730 Thank you received: 27	Susan, you're speaking a foreign language, but hopefully it will make sense after the class. I will definitely check out her YouTube videos, as I haven't seen them before. I have heard her interviewed by Pat Sloan, and she sounded extremely knowledgable.

Connie, I can't wait to hear a report on this class. Ebony Love is so hard-working and loves to share her knowledge. Hopefully, you've seen all of her Youtube videos?

I wish her Equivalent Die Notation System (EDeN) would really take off because it makes using dies so easy, but translating quilt patterns to use with dies is sometimes confusing. I just saw on the EdeN forum that she has had some international publishing success with this, but hasn't released details yet.

Please see what you can find out for us!

Wow! Lucky you! I didn't know there were class especially for cutting with die! That must bring the cutter to another level... Let us know how that goes!
