I already have ordered thread and needles, and some fabric. So I am pretty much set, and ready to go.
I found one person, Melanie Ham, on YouTube who has a series on how to do a basic quilt. It is the easiest, and most understandable video I have found so far. And I will be trying to follow her instructions with my first attempt at quilting.
I have some 4x4 inch blocks of pre-cut fabric that I have sorted, and will do a 12x12 block setup. To me this seems about right size for my first attempt. Unfortunately, the so called 4x4 inch blocks vary in size, so I am going to have to try trimming all the blocks I will use to a uniform size.
I will not be pre-washing this first one. It will never leave my house. It is only to learn how to use the sewing machine, and hone my sewing skills (I have none yet). I probably will not do anything but the font panel. As I said, this is my first, and I just need to get started, and learn.
I will do another thread on my first attempt. I guess there is a place on this Forum for such things. Will post a picture once I finish.
Thanks again for all the wonderful information and help. Sorry if my questions through a couple of threads were much the same. I am still learning how to do things on this Forum and subject.
