I've been quilting only since last August (09), but sort of skipped the beginner quilt stage (from what others tell me), but feel I have so much to learn, while at the same time I've been 'teaching' others that are truly brand new to quilting and have never done it, or are stuck.

What I have learned or been taught is via a co-worker and here on the board.

Or am I one that is 'stuck in the middle"?

So take the best of both. Get someone to teach you and you teach someone with less experience. Share, share, share!!! :-D

don't abandon the idea of fm just because you can't adjust the the feed dogs. Send me an email and we can discuss it further if you'd like.

Great Idea, Mosquitosewgirl, I will try to help you. I don't know how this works on here but I'll give it a try. I teach beginning quilting in my home. I also come to the quilt shows in that erea.

What a great idea. I would be willing to share what I have learned and hopefully learn more in the process. I have done paper piecing, curved piecing and machine applique. I usually miter corners. I'm a stickler for accuracy but love the creative side! Right now my goal is to develop myself into more of an art quilter than a traditional quilt maker. I have used a long arm, but prefer to hire it professionally done. I'm working at improving my FM quilting skills, but I have along way to go to meet my expectations. If interested, PM me.

Let's see I don't know how to hand quilt...B/c I have never tried and I can't say that I know how to FMQ..unless it is a small project b/c I have only ever long armed my quilts??
I DO know how to applique, paper peice and peice?? I don't know..I produce alot of quilts but I think all of us feel like beginners because we learn new things all of the time....so I guess I can try to lead because I don't feel like a "true" beginner?? If that makes sense?

Hey - I'd love to learn to Paper Piece. I've read bazillions of instructions - even tried to "just do it" and I am just not getting it! I also have only done machine quilting - no long arm though - just sticth in a ditch. AND I live in WA!!!!!!! What do you think?

Thanks, I love it too. I was afraid it was going to be too wild with the bright colors, but I didn't care because I like the colors and it is me.
