    I stumbled across the site several years ago. I was fairly new to quilting but I'm always learning something new here. It's a great resource for new or experienced quilters.

    Hi there, wouldn't be without everyone on the QB. Even though we may be scattered far and wide, it's good to know that help is never far away when you need it.

    The best part of this board is the willingness to help find information for each other, the mutual support, and using the "fast horse*" rule. (*All quilts will be inspected for errors as we ride by on a fast horse.") lol! Welcome to our obsession from Oregon.

    The Quilting Board has so many delightful members who are more than willing to offer suggestions or advice to anyone about practically anything. To me it's a great source of information.

    Thank you for this link. I was about to try to come up with something similar and you have saved me a lot of time. The only thing is that fabric costs more now...here, at least.

    As far as any hobby is concerned, the machinery and accessories are usually the most expensive items to begin with, but when it comes to machine embroidery, I heard 20+years ago that the price of the machine was the cheapest part of the craft. I have found this to be so true because digitizing takes time and patience, and patterns cost a fortune because we try to collect everything we like and sadly, never find the time to make them all. However, when our body starts letting us down and we find sitting at a machine sewing patchwork, it can be comforting to know that we can alternate between styles and still enjoy our hobbies - patchwork and embroidery go hand in hand. Embroidery machines in Oz today can cost from A$399 to A$15,000!

    A good idea is when asking for help from the Quilting Board, is to check back after the main responses because the best idea might be the last one posted.
