I'm pretty new to quilting...soooooo....I enjoy pin basting my sammich so I don't even care to spray baste, I have a new machine because I didn't have an old one, I have a new steam iron because my old one spit rusty water, I have never hand pieced and don't really care to.....I use my rotary cutter sometimes, but I'm not very good at that so I have a Go.
