Thread: Most important thing you've learned ....

just be creative and not hard on yourself, we all learn by our mistakes and sometimes they are happy mistakes

Starch Heavily
Spray Basting
Trying to be perfect spoils the fun

505, I don't have to baste, or pin.

Try water soluble thread to baste a quilt. Haven't tried it yet but it sounds like a great idea. I need to buy some of that thread :thumbup:

Finished is better than perfect.

It's always better to laugh at your mistakes than get stressed about them. This is supposed to be FUN

I think mine would be to not rush in... have patience and plan well, taking your time means hopefully that you do not have to repeat the same steps over.

Everyone uses thier ripper :)

I learned to use the 1/4in seam and mark my machine with masking tape so I get the same 1/4in seam everytime. Also to be patient if I'm getting aggravated to get up and walk away. Oh and that my seam ripper is my best friend.
