Obviously, I am a NEW quilter. I just finished my first top, it is at the LAQ and I am fully prepared for it to fall apart!! :| |
There are no dumb questions but they are the easiest to answer. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes, please feel free to ask ANY question here! (How else will you find out the answer?!)

you don't ask a question for your own information - you ask for all the rest of us bumbling around who haven't thought that was a question to ask! Thanks from the rest of us. :)

the (fix) depends on the problem- if its simply a little bit of a seam that has come undone it is quite easy to just hand stitch it closed again- if it's something different a strategically placed applique may be needed-
or you might need to tuck some fusable web inside and press to fix a problem- no reason to stress over (fixes) when you don't even know any will be necessary- i'm a long armer and often while quilting someone's quilt i see a problem=and fix it. depends on the problem- but there is no reason to believe there will be any problems. look forward to your quilt coming home-quilted and beautiful! |
There aren't any dumb questions here! We all learn from each other.

Welcome to the forum. You have just taken the first step on a long and fulfilling journey with the rest of us. You rarely hear of a quilter who quits, we all just keep on going, learning with each quilt. Welcome--your quilt will be fine and beautiful.

That was not a dumb question, but I have to say I was laughing out loud because I remember thinking the same thing. You are going to do just fine.
