start with practice pieces- placemats, pot holders pet or doll quilts- to practice learning the machine quilting technique- with time you will become comfortable with the process- try new designs, stitch in the ditch, be adventurous on your little items- as you become more confident move up to larger pieces- wall hangings, table runners, baby/kid quilts- ease your way up to large quilts- this will help you build confidence, show progress, and you will be surprised how soon you overcome those fears and feel you can quilt anything.
