The tutorial for month #2 of Gentry's Mill is now posted so you can download it HERE

We set up in the dining room as ...

For those of you making Gentry's Mill or thinking about signing up for the BOM program, I posted my first tutorial which you can read and download from Google Docs HERE.

1. Starch your fabrics first
2. Use Aurifil 50wt thread
3. Cut accurately
4. Check to ...
