Welcome babydragon, you'll get a lot of support here. What kind of project are you doing?
well actually 2 projects ( i tend to get bored easy) one is 12 " squares with batik stars of david ( jewish stars)...and the other is a design i am working out for a wall hanging, based on the poem by eugene fields " the sugar plum tree"
I am teaching myself...not doing too badly...needleturn, but not sure I like it and will probably try freezer paper for the tree...i can blind sew pretty well cause I am short and always had to hem clothes. my big issue right now is in the design stage for the tree...that and needing a small sitting cat and standing dog pattern.
