Leaning from our mistakes
I thought it might be interesting to hear good advice from those of us that have made some mistakes in our quilt making and want to warn others. I'm pretty much a novice with quilts but would love to get better at it. Anyway a couple of things I've learned are.
Never mix charm packs from different manufacturers and put them in the same quilt. I did that and they just never lined up properly.
Always detach your quarter inch presser foot when you turn off your machine. My machine automatically starts out with the needle in the left hand position and because the needle hit the presser foot once there is still an ugly sound in it when it turns on.
Would love to hear other tid bits of advice.
