Maybe a section (or virtual one) where "old" posts (or tutes) about quilting basics are held, is that what you are talking about? I think that would be a good idea so we dont have questions about machine binding or scant quarter of an inch or pre-washing fabric every week or so in the main section.

Sometimes when you search, you dont know enough about what you are asking to search properly. quarter inch versus 1/4 in may search differently.

Do you realize that we have an adopt a quilter option here?

This is what the Main section of the board is for :wink: to ask questions :D
There is a tutorial section here too, take some time to go through that section... there is a LOT of information there.

Try the search feature at the top of the page... use the advanced feature... you can search a topic by section of the board.

This is another good time to remind ourselves to make our topic headings descriptive :wink: so that searches can be more successful :D:D:D

Well anytime you do not know what something means just ask.
Even the ones who have been quilting for a long time do not know everything. We all can still learn something new. I have not met anyone yet who knows it all. I have met people who think they know it all. That is a whole different story.

If you search craftybear, she has a blog link for beginning quilting information and tuorials. Have a look, but don't be afraid to ask here. No one bites, lol, and no quilt police either. We all started somewhere.

I know it has been said, but there is no such thing as a dumb question! I have been quilting for more than 20 years and someone will ask a question and I will read the answer and go "Duh, I can't believe I never thought of that"! So your questions help all of us!

Hi, Olga! Also click on the "search" word right under Title line on the page and see if there are answers there. But feel free to ask away!

The thing is...
I always read the main and the pictures. Don't always have time for other forums. Something to think about. I would place questions on the main forum where you are pretty sure to get an answer. I am a beginner too but I ask away.
Some are duhh questions

You found the place. That's what goes on here. Ask a question, and usually someone will be right there with an answer. I unfortunately search for the answer to try and help, but by the time I get back here, there have been 10 people already helping. I think only once was I the first person to respond. So just keep asking those questions. It helps lots of us.
