I don't recommend tools that I don't believe in. I was skeptical about Creative Grids at first. Why are they so popular? Why would I replace my other tools and rulers with Creative Grids? Well, when I had a friend start showing me and I experimented myself I knew why. That's when i thought that new quilters should just start out with Creative Grids tools and save themselves having to replace them with them later! So that's my journey right now. I want to teach new quilters not only the basics of quilting, but using Creative Grids to start!
