Well I am finally ready to quilt for the first time, so I have my sandwhich all made and pinned and ready to quilt. I am starting maybe tomorrow or tuesday, so before I do any pointers for the first time quilter?? I am machine quilting and doing stitch in the ditch to start with I am doing the lightning mcqueen race car quilt for those of you who have seen my pics. Thanks again for all the help!

Relax, take a deep breath...and have fun!!!:D:D:D

Take your time and don't try to rush it . Also make sure the fabric has room to move on its own.

I have a pair of gloves with little dibs that help move the fabric - like gardening gloves, they have little dots of some sort of plastic. Try to just guide the quilt sandwich, let the walking foot do the work - don't push or pull the fabric.

I also find I have to keep reminding myself to relax my shoulders - I seem to manage to get them all bunched up - not sure if my chair should be at a different height or I'm just not relaxed enough!

Enjoy!

I know you can do it!! Please remember to share pictures, with us, when you get it done!! We love pictures!!
