Thank you for let us watch your learning journey Freda! I find it so much more helpful watching someone learn and how your mum corrects things and you then change - its so much easier to understand the process like this and apply it to my own learning, as we all make similar mistakes / are on the same learning curve (excuse the pun!)

I have another student coming next week who will be doing cutting, painting and leading - the whole shebang! Should be an interesting video.

Is there any particular reason you keep moving it between the cutting pattern and layout pattern? Shouldn't they be exactly the same? Or Do you adjust the drawing on the cutting pattern to reflect the 'real life' pieces as you go along?

2 patterns just gives you a place to lay your pieces as you are cutting. You can see the panel developing. With a small panel you can probably do without the laying out pattern but when you have a large complicated pattern you will probably get your pieced mixed up - eg if you have lots of very similar leaves. An yes, you can adjust your cutting pattern as you go.
