[quote=Amythyst02]Additionally, although I am a noob at quilting I have been sewing for almost 45yrs. But garment sewing. I have made Wedding dresses, coats, suits, etc. So I am not unfamiliar with sewing. But.. quilting is a whole different world. There is so much to learn, and its completely different from garment sewing, as I have started to learn here.
Oh and printed instructions are a must. I love my computer and being able to run to it for information. However, when it comes to learning things, I would much prefer printed, hand held instructions. I want to be able to have it right next to what I am doing! I do even still read pattern directions, I may only skim them but they are right there, handy if I need them. And I cannot take notes next to the computer instruction like I can printed. : )
Now I am going to go look at 4P and 9P : ) A 4P is a 4patch and a 9P is a nine patch block. Just either 2 squares or 3 squares sewed together in a row and then attached to the next. In the case of a 9P there would be a third row of 3 squares.
