In Main Menu, I have started a new discussion which would be helpful to newbies also... "Quilt Tools, Tips & Opnions" hoping we can hear what other quilters have found to be the better tools, rotaries, cutting mats, rulers, anything that is a quilting gadget. If you have a question or opinion, please help all of us quilters, especially those just building their gadget supply with their stash supply.
As for the "newbies", I don't consider myself "experienced" level, but do help local newbies and would love to help if possible. Sometimes just posting questions will get answers, please be as specific as you can.
