Sharon, one way I have learned some of the techniques is through the quilt shows and in books. When I first started I was out buying books, then thought, let me try before I buy, cause some instructions from some are harder to understand than others. I went to my local library to look for the books I was interested in. We also have an I-Borrow program, which I just received a book from a library in Kentucky, I'm in Florida.
The book, Ready, Set, Finish is by Darlene Zimmerman. I already own one of her other books. Her instructions are easy to understand.
