I can go on forever but like I said I need to know it all lol
I too am a beginner, thought i could learn from buying books and watching others and trail and error. Boy what errors. Finally one of the books spoke about grain and weft and selvedge. Who knew? Now am on the right track but my cutting is wonky. bought a rotary cutter because you could see each cut with my scissors. thought since i bought a sewing machine to save money on having to send out my needlepoints to be completed by someone else i might as well learn to quilt. I don't even know enough to ask what i need to know. This thread has explained more than the 5 books, pretty tho they be. And informative.
