here is a link to several tutorials on this board. Hope this helps.:) Welcome from Louisiana.

Do you not understand how to piece at all or just piece this particular pattern?

If you are stumped on just basic piecing, I would really recommend taking a basic quilt class. The skills and knowledge you get at the basic class you can then apply to your specific pattern.

Sorry to say I do not know how to piece at all.

I agree with Feline Fanatic - you really would benefit from taking a basic quilt class and then move on to your pattern. I learned so much from the one class I took.

My friend told me about The Quilted Apple in Scottsdale; said it was a really nice shop.
I agree with feline fanatic - take a beginners class.
If no shop is offering one, most quilt shops folks will help you get started.
Good luck

Check out youtube, there are many videos there that show piecing techniques :wink:

Welcome from Ohio!

Check out your local library, they got books and CD to teach beginners. The best, it's for free.

Sorry we didn't go to AZ this winter. We decided to stay home for a change. If I were in AJ I would come over and get you started. Good luck!! BETH

You have several good quilt shops in Phoenix and Tempe. Try one of them.

some quilt shops have classes that you bring whatever you are working on to

Thank you to everyone for all you tips. I have tried a few shops so far they have classese that they choose the pattern. I will look into a basic class.also will look for someone that would be my mentor. keep you updated, can't wait to gat started, thanks Beth wish you were here too.

Welcome to the board from Southern California!!!!

You might check to see if your technical college has basic quilting classes. Here in the Madison Wi area the technical college also has hobbyist classes . each semester. They have a class that teaches basic quilting that runs between 6-8 weeks, 1 morning or afternoon a week.

35th Ave Sew and Vac offers introductory quilting courses at their Northern location. There is one specifically on piecing tomorrow and it is being offered again in March.

Thanks for the tip, I went to the quilting apple on 24th st
and spoke with a very nice lady who is going to give me one on one lesson starting next week. I am so excitied to start. thanks to all of your great tips....PeggySue AZ
