Hi Kristy. Welcome . This is a wonderful place. no question is odd or unanswered. Everyone will give advise, encouragement and ideas. Great ideas from here !
Hint: Utube. Utube is my friend ! I learned how to use my machines threader, how to cut fabric with the pizza cutter against drafting tools ( not the right names - engineering for years and WISH I had this idea). Learned how to make the disappearing 9 patch and what that looked like, how to make pinwheels like a snap! how to bind a quilt of odd edges.
I have been quilting off and on for 30 years and still have lots to learn by Utube. My friend. :)
