Don't be afraid to ask questions then take what you need from the answers given and move on. As a young quilter I was pretty inexperienced and appreciated much of the advice I got when I asked questions. For a very long time I got hung up on "rules" people told me at the local quilt shop when I asked questions. Imagine my surprise and delight when I realized I could do whatever I wanted and the quilt police weren't going to come and take me away!
