Another great thread!..
Loved this tip: Ripping out a seam..uuugh >> On one side of your fabric, rip out about every 4th or 5th stitch..Flip your fabric over and the threads just pull out.

My own advice, especially to those fairly new to quilting> If you really do not enjoy the cutting and sewing process very much but, color and design make your pulse skip beats..There is no shame in down sizing to what your passion is, ie: Wall hangings, throws stc, saving the rare quilts for occasional special friends or yourself lol..
Spend your time at the design wall and fabrics. Educating yourself on what you love until you rock in it..By then you may just not mind sewing your gorgeous designs in mega size..
*Never stop learning
* And know that there will ALWAYS be someone better or who knows more than you in anything you do ( bake them some brownies = suck up) "laugh"

"you couldnt see that from a galloping horse" rofl.. I'm so remembering this line.
