Now can join the rest of us.
What I learned:
- it is a 'normal' feeling and was OK to have it ... as long as I could afford it in the first place.
- allow yourself at least 100 hours of quilting before you see the difference. Lengthen that amount of time if you only get to work at it sporadically.
- learn to let yourself have as much of a learning curve as you feel you need and be less critical of yourself.
- find someone locally or via phone who can help you if you have any questions.
- ask for as much support as you can ... you'd be surprised how much more you will receive if you ask for it.
- you may even have a LA group locally you can attend. They can really help you learn and encourage you to 'stretch your wings.' Check with you state quilters association and LQS's that have LA's, as they sometimes host groups.
Have fun.
