I'm fairly new to quilting - about 16 months now (or 22 quilts) - so there are obviously a ton of techniques that I've not tried yet or even know about. For those of you in my shoes - do you ever read the instructions and just not 'get it'? On some patterns it takes me forever to figure it out, or find someone who's made it to ask questions to, and afterwards I have a big 'DUH' moment
I wonder if this will become easier with more experience/techniques under the belt or if this is because I read and comprehend very literally. And sometimes I do miss a step when it's not specifically in the instructions.
When making a new pattern, I do make one block to understand the process and I do stay with it until I get it 'right'.
Just curious if others experience these 'DUH' moments too?
Thanks!
Jan
