gosh, I have learned so on this board and am addicted to the friendly, helpful and inspiring members here... as much as I hate to admit it, I visit the board almost every day...
Until 2011, I had not quilted for more than 30 years (high school Home Economics) and when I started in 2011, I was overwhelmed by the tools and machines that were available. With the help of members here, I decided to purchase a Janome MC6600 and away I went.
Some of the things I've learned that have made a huge difference in my quilting projects is chain stitching, paper-piecing, and binding techniques. The members are amazing. I have received personal messages from members with specific guidance on projects or recommended tutorials, everyone is so helpful...
