| 2009-05-24 | Lisa | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you. It's just that I heard some cuts require ironing before sewing each piece (ie. sewing then ironing then sewing then ironing) which is not practical for mass production. |

| 2009-04-07 | Paula | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks so much. Your tip worked a treat. My daughter cut out some of her pattern at home then rolled up the whole project and respread it out on the work surface at school. Her teacher was most impressed as well. |
| 2009-02-16 | jeana | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | VERY QUICK REPLY AND CLEAR ANSWER. THANKS! |
| 2009-02-09 | Kris | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks so much for your help. Your tip worked! I still have yet to complete a pair of recycled wool mittens, maybe by next winter, but your suggestion did the trick!! |
| 2009-01-13 | roberta | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | thanks so much for your prompt and expert knowledge. I am ready to go and start this pattern, due to your help. roberta |
| 2008-11-23 | Missy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Wow, this seems easier than it looks, I'll let you know how it came out. Thanks a lot Jenna, you rock!! |
| 2008-11-07 | Debra | 10 | 10 | 7 | 10 | No | Thanks for your help. I have found out most of that information already while I was waiting for your response. The 'cutting on the bias' part will probably add a lot more to the way this lays out, though. Good to know. The only thing I would add is that the fishing line should be 100 lb. test - not 10 lb. I think it might have just been a typing error. Thanks again for your response. |
