Then I also upload to Create Space just for selling the book on Amazon. So long as you use the same binding and cover type (matte or glossy) you can use the same ISBN for both books and yes, do order your own! I'll have more detail on this in new podcasts / tutorials coming soon.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674869334249298532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-47557635087570710392018-08-13T10:14:48.269-04:002018-08-13T10:14:48.269-04:00Thank you so much!

I started following you about 4 months ago and have been using the Youtube and your web page to get all the info I need. Thank you for all of your great lessons and ideas. I am working on Quilt as You Go using your walking foot book and videos. It is really coming together. I am then making a quilt as you go using your free motion designs. This is a great way to practice and see what I like. I'm new at this so have learned a TON from you.teachercarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13182856203864221332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-81028553654635087512018-08-10T14:52:47.738-04:002018-08-10T14:52:47.738-04:00I agree completely with you.

Facebook was good in the beginning, I was actually able to reconnect with an old friend that I had not way of getting in touch with, she reached out to me on Facebook and I am grateful for that. But it is now a way for so many faceless people to say things they would never say in person - face to face. They can hide and be as mean and nasty as they wish with little to no consequences for their words or how they might affect someone. Good for you, need more people in the world to be as smart as you and take a stand.<br /><br />janettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05257611596604002746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-21600579533571599852018-08-10T09:24:07.276-04:002018-08-10T09:24:07.276-04:00Reading all the news, I too would like to get rid ...Reading all the news, I too would like to get rid of Facebook.

I too have read these things and have had the negative experience of others projected on myself, so much so that I just now am having courage to post things.
