You can explore embroidery, make one clamshell and decide that this technique is not for you. The same with other techniques such as appliqué, hand piecing, English paper piecing ( EPP), and much more. Soon you’ll find that you have enough clamshells to make a wall-hanging. It is an excellent pattern to use all the big print fabrics, so hard to use sometimes it stays in the drawer or the cupboard for years. The same with dollies, or tablecloth or table runner which have been in the treasure chest and never will be used again. Make some clamshells….
