I have a few rules:
- If you need to ask if something should be "fixed" then just fix it - otherwise it will always bother you. It's always to fix now than when the quilt is further along.
- Be kind, supportive and respect all quilters including yourself.
- Never rush or sew when you are tired ...we all know what happens...
- No food or drink except water in my sewing area. I'm a klutz.
- Press and measure each unit - it makes a huge difference.
- Enjoy the process. (This is hard for me as I easily get frustrated and want to abandon the project when there are problems. I am gradually learning to enjoy the process through the good and the problems.)
- Listen to the Quilt Police but only if they are offering ways to help me improve my skills. (Some of their advice is great.)
