Quilting should be enjoyable. It is okay to make simple patterns. Changing fabrics and colors can make a big difference in the look of the finished quilt. Once in awhile we should try to stretch our skill level, but not so often that we forget to have fun.

I've learned that it is important to RETHREAD my machine EVERY time I sit down to sew. That means even if I just leave the room for a minute. It saves time in the long run. It's amazing how many gremlins are just waiting for us to turn our backs.
I learned about the re-threading from my Pfaff dealer -AFTER an expensive repair. She told me it could have been avoided if I just did that one simple thing. You may NEVER have the problem I did, but why take a chance.
And always check to be sure you presser foot is DOWN before you start to sew. That rat's nest of thread on the under side of your sewing project is just WAITING to happen ~ ~ ~

I learned that ripping is part of making something I'm proud of.. and that I'd rather rip than look at something that should have been taken out for the next umpteen dozen years!
I've also learned that one of the sweetest thing you can do is when you hear your friend say "OH NO!" is to put down what you're doing and help her rip!!

I have learnt to enjoy each process.
I have learnt that I have a lot to learn.
I have learnt to be thankful for the day I found this board - all this expertise and no question is silly and no one is judged. Love to you all.

Hi CQ,
I beg to differ. You are experienced now. Look at all you have learned and how well you can state it. I know you won't repeat those errors. Unfortunately many quilters never go beyond making those error ... and never to learning how to avoid repeating them.
Maybe we could call you a moderately experienced quilter.
