If you have signed up as an individual quilter you will get the same link and PDF.
The live zoom webinar will have a 1000 person access limit at any one time but not to worry! If the webinar is full when you log in, you will be automatically directed to a YouTube livestream and won’t miss a thing! Sit back and see what a live virtual workshop has to offer.
