I have been trying to get into machine quilting for years, dh bought me a new machine and the attachments two years ago and have been sooo hesitant to start anything because I feel like I dont KNOW enough.
these "quilt for kids" have kick started me again, its something close to my heart, my baby was given a blanket in NICU. and I would love to make these quilts because I KNOW how special it can be.
are there good books or tutorials you have seen??? patterns??? tips, that made you say "gosh I wish I had known that sooner!"???
questions:
different sources say different things about thread, does it matter? or is one type better for one thing and another another????
do I need my sewing machine to be flush with the table??? if im doing baby size or lap size? how much harder is it????
is the stipple design the easiest???
do I HAVE to starch or can i just iron?
so many questions. TY
