Sewing clothing is alot different than quilting. Sewed men's suits, wedding dresses, etc. but all different fabric. Got over it , to much stress for me, quit sewing anything for 20yrs. Now starting again, so I am a newbie. Pattern to follow, not to hard, templates, I have to look it up on the internet to remember how to use them. All of us can sew seams, but a quilter is a "quilter", I need alot of practice, adventurous yes, always need a new thing to keep me busy. Should be on the long arm more, practicing, but get impatient and want it done.
