This is an awesome tutorial! It's straight-forward, time-efficient, easy to understand, and beautifully delivered. Thank you, Chelsea, for the info I needed at the perfect time.

Thank you so much for the insight. I find your videos very easy to follow, and since I am easily distracted, they help with my writing. I am currently putting the final touches on my research paper dedicated to my late grandmother, who taught me the spirituality of creating stories through textiles. My grandmother was Indigenous and had many stories for learning. Many blessings to you.
