Olga :)

I've been quilting for 30 years, and I thought I knew a lot. But I feel like I know nothing. I learn here each and every day. There is just no stopping me.... LOL

I have often thought that I need to put a CLAPPER on my Scissors when I am sewing- I probably have more scissors then I will ever need - and have no idea where they disappear or return from -think this could be a problem?

I also have dufus issues. I just start a topic, and ask my question. I have never had to wait very long for answers and most of them are exactly what I need. Welcome aboard! :thumbup:

You should feel very comfortable asking any questions here no matter what the forum is. Quilters are very kind and giving souls.

This IS the place ... the members of this board are absolutely fantastic. No one will make you feel like you asked a stupid question. Everyone is so helpful.

Don't be afraid. We were all new once. Sometimes it takes awhile before we get it right. We're all learning. Ask away!

We are all here to help each other so ask away! Someone will always know the answer.

I know what you mean, but just jump in there and ask...I was new just a few months ago and thought..they don't know me...I'll just ask and if they get tired of my questions I'll know and won't ask anymore! But they answer everything very nicely and in an uncomplicated manner and I didn't feel like a dummy. Go for it!

Last January I started a quilt, I've been sewing for most of my life and thought that I could do it without any help. Boy was I wrong. Thanks to all of you I finally found the answers to all of the questions I had, but was afraid to ask, or I should say ashamed to ask. After all I know how to sew don't I? So for all us newbies thank you for being so good about answering our questions.

I think that this is the place.

There is one and you found it.

My question is: "How do I get something posted on the Message Board"? I have tried several times, but it never appears.

Ask the cutie in your avatar....

Email ADM and mention that you would like a Topic like this. I emailed them and suggested a topic titled "Tips" and was told that they tried that before but other things got posted in that area. But it is always worth a try. Sometimes it is hard to get all suggestions due to they are "lost " in the discussion. You could always search for topics.

Olgaflowers.....go ahead and ask, that's what we are here for. This is my extended family and everyone is so helpful. You don't need to feel like a stranger and no question is stupid. So ask away and you will get plenty of replies. Happy quilting.

If you post it on a site for "dummies", who will be able to give you a good answer? LOL! We're all dumb about something. Ask away!

If you post it on a site just for "dummies", who will be able to give you a good answer? LOL! We're all dumb about something. Ask away!

Sometimes it takes a while to know WHAT to ask.

Or how to word the question.

Yes, some of the topics do turn up over and over and over again.

I have decided that the topic is "new" to the person asking it.

I've also decided that the Search feature is more helpful to the people that are familiar with this forum.

There are some questions that most of the responses are similar.

There are other questions that have divergent responses (The "to wash or not wash fabric before cutting" question is an example of that.)

"Main" is the best place to ask a quilting related question.

After a while, you will learn what works better for you.

You're never too old to learn & the experts likes to hear questions. I learned a lot from this forum and still have a long way to go.

You might be asking the question some one else hesitated to ask. You might jar our thoughts of something we forgot. Please, ask your questions. You will be surpised at how quickly you get anwsers and how many different answers you get too.

The only dumb question is one not asked.

I don't think I can help you with that except look under the cushions. Good Luck.

Ask away !! We are quilter's there are no silly questions.
"We are Sister's in Quilting".

Sometimes I don't even know I have the question until someone else asks it!! hugs and smilesssssss, wildlinda

Boy you have got that that right, wildyard! We all learn from each other even if we are not wanting anything at the time of our read. Ask away....I am waiting for the question and answer session.

Besides, we don't have any dummies on Quilting Board. The minute you are smart enough to join you automatically are way beyond the dummy stage!! :D

Thimble! THIMBLE!! That's it! No one here has taught me to use a thimble! :roll:

Sure I can tell you, "it is just where you left it the last time you were working on the quilt." Sorry, I just had to be a smart alec and answer it. If you are like me, it is where ylou just know you won't forget it the next time you need it. I looked for three days for a piece of fabric, that I needed to finish working on my quilt (in process) and couldn't find it. Naturally I found it when I wasn't looking for it, but not where I thought it would be or should have been.

Olgq, are you asking what UFO's are?or do you already know?
If you don't know, the are unfinished objects. At least that's what I call them. Anyone else have a different answer?

It is helpful to write more than "help" in the topic/subject line.

Example: Help with choosing a thread, Help with thread breaking, etc.

I have since learn what U.F.O's are :)
I am working on my grandbaby's first quilt,found myself
telling my Daughter, I have sandwiched the quilt !!
she was like WHAT !! :) on it goes...

Isn't it fun???
:thumbup: :lol:

You found it, and if you are shy do what I did, just read the posts for a few months, all of a sudden one day you will just have to ask, however most of my questions get answered before I even know to ask them. Love this board! :D

You will always find it in the last place you look! LOL:)

I was going to say that the thimble is in the place the cat left it when done playing with it. LOL

Even the most expert quilters are constantly learing so ask the any and all questions - also by asking a question here on this web site you will get different perspectives and one of the methods might suite your needs & I agree that there is not such thing as a Stupid or dumb question.
