All wonderful comments and suggestions for beginning quilters. I am going to teach a beginning Machine Quilting Class for our guild beginning in February, and will take your comments and suggestions to heart. I mainly want to give them the basics and techiniques that I had to learn by myself. I know none of us are perfect and have expressed to guild members that we DO NOT point out our mistakes. We sew & quilt for the fun and creativiity and the joy it brings us.
