What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Check the pattern as Pam recommends and add the 3/8" to the seams included are 1/4". It's much easier to use Pams Finger Felling Technique than a felling foot.
Love the "Yoke Trick"
Try using Embroidrey Thread you may need to use a metallic needle.
