I am a new machine embroider(er). I like quilts with small squares of delicate stitching. I have never made a quilt, and I am the kind of person who wants to know all about it before doing it. I have many designs to use, and I need to get started. I have purchased the material. All I need to do is cut the squares and start stitching. But I want to view a video I bought from Nancy Z first. I have watched quilts being make on tv, but that is a different story. One question is what kind of batting should I use for a light quilt without a lot of loft?
I live in SE Tennessee, USA. I am married to my high school sweetheart for 47 years. We have two grown sons and four grandchildren. I am a Christian, retired teacher, pianist, artist, and hobbiest. I can't behave like my age cause there is so much I want to do. But lately asthma has had me down. That has to go. I have too much to do to worry about that.
Glad to be here, Sandy

I'm so glad you're here. I like your attitude. I too don't have time to let anything stop me from what I love doing. There is so much more.
You'll find lots of friends here and answers are just an email away. Happy stitching!
Karen
