After a lot of years of sewing on my 1941 Singer, which I love for its reliability, I finally broke down and bought a new machine. Loving my Janome 2014 so far....but I bought it mostly to teach myself free motion quilting! I am almost ready with a quick Jelly Roll Race quilt so if I mess up the quilting, it won't matter so much; just need to get the top pressed well and sandwiched.
Here are my questions: What batting do you recommend and why? What thread is easiest for a beginner? Do I start in the middle or can I start anywhere? And the biggest question of all, what advice do you have for me? What do you wish somebody had told you before you started?
Thank you sooooo very much, everybody! Looking forward to your wise advice!
