Dorothy, I used to be overwhelmed by how complicated instructions could be for some quilts & of course I liked the most intricate designs :)
Went to a LQS to buy a gift, (3 yrs ago) found out that most shops have classes for quilts throughout the year. Never stitched a button before my first class. Had a great time during the class & was so proud of my Turning 20! Now I take a few classes a year & quilting has become a joy.
Maybe you could check with your LQS. It's much easier & fun to have someone show you.
Honestly, I just gave away a ruffler attachment because I didn't have a clue how to use it.
