I ck'd this website. Good grief, we not only don't have to talk to ea. other in person anymore we don't even have to use words. Just letters.
I know the teens are using a lot of that for short cuts for texting but I still can't quite go that far. I still like to spell most of my words out. I can understand using a shortcut for texting though.

Sorry to hear that. I always go in my sewing room in sock feet maybe I'll rethink that.

This is one of the best lessons taught to me when learning to type in school - if you make a mistake, walk away, refresh the mind and come back again - halfway through 1st typing exam and not one page completed, teacher marching up and down checking on us, said "your running out of time so might as well give up". I was so stubborn and determined that I went through all exercises in half the time allowed and achieved a 1st Class Pass!!! Lesson learned: Determination always wins (we hope!!)

If at first you don't succeed, try and try again :D I love all the lessons in the first post here and those following :thumbup:

I have a friend who has to race like a bull at a gate and then complains about every project she makes not being quite right, points out all her mistakes and embroidered quilt designs in squares not being central etc, but she must finish everything before someone else can think about doing the same project!! If things go terribly wrong she tosses the fabric or takes it to her club for someone else to rescue!! Some people will never learn :thumbdown:

I found this site shortly after taking my first quilting class.......what have I learned???? That any question I need answered can be brought to this board and the question will be answered quickly and in a kind manner. Everyone is gracious and treats all level of quilters with patience. This site has been the greatest teaching tool and I am soooo glad I found you all :)

Today I found out Yes it is important to make you re-press your sashing properly before quilting, also especially when you QAYG sew them on starting from the same side of the quilt so it does not causes waves in the sashing. And I learned that friends are the best when they are willing to help you fix your problems even if it is too late to do any thing much about it. Thanks to ALL my friends. now I have to unpick some sewing and try it a different way.
