I practiced alot on old bedsheets first--and I did alot of drawing on newspapers. (It's the same concept as actually doing it on the material on frame). I was very nervous to do my first "real" quilt. But I did several of my own before moving on to doing quilts for others. I work a full time job so just do quilting ont he side--mostly for members of the Quilt Guild I am in. I did not advertise to quilt for others--they just saw the work I did on my own quilts and started asking me if I would quilt for them--so that is how I got started quilting for others--when I really intended on buyign the Tin Lizzie just to use for myself.
