This is pretty much my story, too. I'm self taught, in quiltmaking, from the internet and books, but have sewed for many many years, making my own clothes and once, my husband a suit. Having said that, quilting is a whole new game. The preciseness of it in cutting and sewing is unlike other sewing. Especially when it comes to points!
