This seems to be a fairly usual answer to some of these questions:

1) Should I wash my fabric before cutting?

2) Should I use starch or sizing on the fabric before cutting?

3) What kind of batting should I used?

Can you think of any more questions that this is a typical/usual answer to? ??

I sure hope the new quilters are not considering this to be a list of what's considered "stupid questions" by others. I know that wasn't the intent, but I would hate to see anyone discouraged from asking ANY question of us at any time...wouldn't you?

I am new to quilting and know I have ask many of these questions. What seems easy or obvious to experienced quilters is not obvious to newbies and if you have never sewed or used a sewing machine and decided to take it up like I did after I retired the language is different than what you are use to and you are so intent on doing it right that you ask about everything. The talented people on this forum have such a wealth of information and are always so kind to share. You will never know how many times you have helped people through a mess or helped to get them started. You have me. Thanks so much.
