These tips are very useful to me. I remember when I first started quilting, I didn't know one fabric from another except get 100% cotton, and that's it. I found out how hard it was to sew with some thread I bought in the white that kept knotting up on me. I also learned what my mother use to say about feeling the fabric, and I have learned more about quality from that. There is so much I want to learn, and I have fun doing it.
