If you’ve watched any of my other videos and see how I tame my paper to follow curves and want to do the same, then this challenge is for you . Challenge other quillers you know and try practicing together. Make Curves Easily After practicing these arcs, you’ll be able to achieve the curves you see, or follow a template or drawing you’ve made.  Remember to only compare yourself to YOU, not anyone else.  I made this tutorial because my friend said I make this look easier than it is for her.
