I did find and read the Threads article by Louise Cutting and it is just like Zieman's. I will have to look for the Hellyer book at my library for starters. After this episode I don't think I can go back to the old way I've been doing collars and points. Thanks, everyone, for your opinion. I am anxious to see how the Montana collar comes out as one end of the collar is longer than the other and both are obtuse. I will defintely mock up that one.

I seem to recall David Coffin wrote about her in his shirt book and I had read somewhere that she and Nancy Zieman corresponded. I have Nancy's book as well. Barbara's book is older so she may have originated the technique or at least been the first one to publish it.Theresa in Tucsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-22185018538545748832023-05-13T10:01:03.351-04:002023-05-13T10:01:03.351-04:00I think you will be really glad you made the purch...I think you will be really glad you made the purchase.

I have Nancy's book but it is downstairs so I can't compare the two techniques. Thought you might like to read another approach in case they aren't the same. Love your new sig file!
