I'm sending a link to this tutorial to a friend who was struggling.<br />You always do such a good job of teaching!<br /><br />Sorry I haven't been over to visit for awhile. I was having issues with Blogger for a bit & my wrist has been hurting as well. Its either too much tennis or too much planting...I'm not sure which.<br /><br />I'm also sorry I never told you about Best Press! I've used it in my quilting for years. I get mine at JoAnn's in the big gallon size & use a 40% off coupon all the time. It truly IS the best!!<br /><br />Hugs to you, Honey. Hope you are enjoying a <b><i>GREAT</i></b>ful Memorial Day.<br /><br />fondly,<br />RettRettabughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09974677657528087286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199658097942744635.post-60687521536554835832011-05-14T22:03:22.764-05:002011-05-14T22:03:22.764-05:00When I taught smocking and had a leftie, I would s...When I taught smocking and had a leftie, I would sit in front of a mirror so she could see everything in reverse. These pictures are terrific, though.

I like your pictures/examples - they are great! I had to smock left-handed to teach them. I suppose that will come in useful if I ever cannot use my right hand for some reason.
