Welcome from San Gabriel, California

Welcome from Canton, GA. Ditto on the advise of doing small practice pieces.

Welcome! You are not alone here! I am finding my courage here on this site! I am new to quilting here, and this site is the best!

Welcome from Wisconsin, just take a deep breath and go for it on the smallest quilt you will love the way it will look

Just practice until you are comfortable with the stitching.

Welcome from Minnesota! It doesn't sound silly at all. Most people will say it was hard to make the commitment to do the quilting. Start with the smallest one. And practice on a quilt sandwich that is about 18" square. Get to feel what motions are required. And if you don't like how the quilting is going, it's not permanent. You can take the stitching out, and practice some more. Good luck!

Hi from NW Ohio just keep practicing til you feel comfortable enough to start

Welcome from Georgetown Texas! I am afraid to quilt also.....I have friends who quilt for me or let me use their longarm machine :-D
