There have been so many, but my tip would be that if you have a question or problem - post it on the QB and in no time at all you will receive all the help you need. Quilters are great people, always willing to share suggestions for any problem you might encounter.

I can't pick just one either. All I know is the morning isn't complete until I have a cup of coffee while I read the board. Just a perfect way to start my day. I can't thank everyone enough for all their help.

I'd say the most helpful tip was to use the same ruler (or at least type of ruler, like "Omnigrid) to cut out an entire quilt because the little differences in rulers really do make a major difference when you want your quilting squares to all come out the same size, and thus your quilt matches up and is much easier to assemble. Use the same ruler, cut it correctly, use a scant 1/4" seam, and there isn't a lot else you can mess up.

There have been quite a few but the one I learned today was one of the best--that there is a right/wrong side to Warm & Natural batting. I usually use that and I'm a new quilter and this is something to know before doing another quilt.

Same here, the education on the vintage machines has been wonderful, (maybe a little expensive per my hubby), and my mom never ever starched before sewing, so that was new to me. LOVE this board.
