Thanks Loretta, I know that will be of great help. Klue, I hadn't thought of a beginner quilting book, will try and get to the library soon. I did buy a Sewing for Dummies book though, but it is at the house and I am at the apartment right now and there's 2.5 hours between. One day I will live in one place I hope. Meantime, this is all very helpful, and I appreciate folks taking time.
