But, let me tell you about me now. I am brand new to quilting. I've been at it, for oh, 3 days now. I don't think I've made a perfect cut yet!!! lol Oh, so sad. I have a mat, a ruler, a rotary cutter...and yet, when I fold my fabric like I've seen done on YouTube...yes, YouTube for my Quilting Classes hahaha...something always goes wrong and doesn't work out for me. But, I'm moving on to Day 4 now...big cutting dreams!!
Great advice! Welcome to the quilting world. And you have a great attitude about it all. You'll do well! It's true you get better with practice - cutting, qtr inch seams, fmq (if you choose to do this). I feel I see some improvement with each project. And super advice on this quilting board!!
