i make it all look so easy. you are only putting 2 layers of fabric under the needle at a time, and even curves are the straight piece under the needle, it's it before and after that is curved. If you look at it that way, it's all easy.
i was quilting before i knew it was quilting. i started at 7 with my grandmas scraps. I was doing yo yos as my grandma taught me and sewing squares together. it was all easy then.
Love this good attitude towards your quilting lynnie, post #34. I am self taught and never knew I couldn't do it or got any information that something was hard, like curves. I just did it. I don't think I ever made a quilt I didn't like.
I still can't get seams to play nice all the time and my seam ripper is always warm, and I say so what. In the end, I have created something wonderful, IMHO. If no one else likes it I don't care.
May we all find ways to enjoy our craft more in the new year.
peace
