Welcome. I'm pretty new to this quilting board also. Really just got started on it last night but I'm addicted! We were all beginners at one time or another & you will find that other quilters will help you with anything at anytime. But just from experience, if you can take a beginners class, you will benefit greatly from it. I couldn't believe how many short cuts I learned in my first class & then I couldn't take enough quilting classes! You will never stop learning! But have fun doing it!
