Hello and welcome from Ontario.

Greetings from CA. When you sew the squares together in rows and you press the blocks, I would recommend that you press the seams so they will NEST into each other when you join the rows. It makes matching the blocks much easier.

thank you.....i'll try

Hi Kathi. Welcome from Southern Indiana.

Depending on the pattern, I may shorten my stitch length, but most machines make a nice and tight enough stitch, it shouldn't be a problem :D:D:D

Welcome from Tennessee. I shorten my stitch length to just under 2.

Just be sure not to use a really large stitch length.
If you have a fairly modern machine, the stitch that comes up by default is probably 1.8 or 2.
That is a good all around stitch length, and with gentle handling will not pull out before you can get the cross seams sewn over it.
On your very last seams, you might like to back stitch at the beginning and end of those seams, as there will be no further seams to cross them before you can get the quilt quilted and get your binding on.

And welcome from Arkansas! You will find a lot of great quilters in this group, and all are willing to share their knowledge.
A suggestion; start with a smaller project than a king sized quilt. Finishing a crib quilt or wall hanging, heck, even a potholder, will give you confidence to move on to those larger projects.
Whatever you decide though, we are here to support you.

Howdy from Tennessee! What a wonderful road you've started down! Glad to have you aboard.

Never be afraid to ask a question no matter how silly you might think it is. The only dumb questions are the ones you don't ask! I have found out that there will always be someone on this board that can answer a person's question! What a great group of quilters we get to know here!!!
