The first thing I would say is Quilting is a hobby.... not a job. You need not clock in at a certain hour and not stop until whenever. However, quilting can be addictive and you ay choose to sew as long as you want! Secondly, be patient... frustration WILL come from time to time. When that occurs, the best thing you can do is quit and relax until you are calm again. Best of luck and Happy Quilting~

Have fun and don't be afraid to ask questions, especially here on the quilt board where the quilt police are banned. The internet is also a wealth of information, especially U tube where there are a lot of tutorials and videos.
Have fun and Happy Quilting

You have to start from where you are.

I knew 'sweet fat aiths' about contrast before being shown by someone who knew. I would spend money on that before paying to have someone show me how to cut.
