Can you sew already? (I couldn't thread a machine before I learned to quilt!) If so, quilting uses 1/4" seams unlike dressmaking. ALWAYS cut away from you and remember to keep your fingers away from the edge of the ruler!

Jenny Doan of Missouri Star - here - has a lovely relaxed way with tutorials which involve the use of pre-cuts which may be a good introduction.

Happy quilting! (WARNING - it's addictive!)
