Welcome from Michigan. I'd like to add a few thoughts about one of the vital pieces of equipment that you have-- your sewing machine. I'd find it hard to be a quilter without one -- although some folks are. Don't forget to use your machine's manual along with the brush and other tools that came with it to keep your machine clean and oiled if the manual so instructs. You will save yourself lots of money and time if you do, both of which can be spent on more fabric!
