Thank you for your advice and words.
I think I started out wrong cause I was using alot of pins instead of basting. I need to baste I bet and that will help. When I was shifting the quilt around, I was getting poked by the pins or they were coming out. I was beginning to wonder if I should be knowing how to work in different directions. Thank you for helping me feel better.
Of course I am working on a twin sized quilt....probably large for a beginner. I have to realize that this is my first one, it will not be perfect and that I should treasure something I did by hand with all imperfections!
I see all the wonderful works in the Pictures section and I hope I can become half as proficient as others. I remember when joining that some work stood out. I think mgshaw had one (if you liked the civil war fabrics) if I remember right. There are alot of inspirational people here.
Anyway...thanks again!
