We learn by DOING, and practice leads to improvement.

Patience. And the you can do it. I like when someone shows a picture of their project then ads a tute to go along with it.. :thumbup: Learn lots that way.

i am a sort or new quilter. I read where you recommend starch, starch, starch. WHY? I spray some water on then press (water is easy to get). But I would like to know the reason for starch and the difference of using that or water. Thanks all. I am sure I will have more questions as I go along. Good thoughts

it doesn't REALLY matter to me if it's 'square', or it has 'points', as long as the colors in it are pretty.

Connie we like the starch because it makes the fabric more stable, makes cutting, peicing and pressing easier; I only used water for years , I like a nice sharp crease... but my cuts weren't always straight when I trimmed, and my blocks would end up distorted from pressing ... starch helps with all those problems. you should try it , if you don't like it, you can change again.

I'm a newbie...help me understand how you use the starch and what kind. Thanks! (Love all the photos of quilts!)

I have learned so many tidbits here and there, but the best thing I enjoy about this site is that I get sooooo much inspiration from all your pictures!!! Gets me in the mood to quilt!

Patience. Walk away when I start making mistakes. Don't worry over the small mistakes. Enjoy my work and the end results even if it is not perfect. Also learn from what everyone else says.
