I was going to ask for a sewing machine for my birthday in April. Is it bad for a beginner to machine quilt? Any sewing machine recommendations?
Someone else mentioned Craftsy classes. They have two Block of the Month (BOM) classes (one for 2012 and a new one for 2013) and they are free. You learn a new block each month and you watch the video whenever you want and as many times as you want. You learn how to cut and sew each one and at the end you have a quilt top. The last class shows you how to put it together. It would be perfect for your schedule and budget. Have fun.
