Welcome from Michigan! I'm still pretty new! Been at it 2 yrs. I do both hand and machine. I learned from an old library book and help from here!! I loping my June Taylor cutting stRip system! Less waste and guessing can cut 1/4" strips and squares, rectangles and diamonds. I got it online so was cheaper. Didn't have a big stash. Started buying on here and it exploded! Good quality and prices better than LQS!!
Good luck! Question?? Just ask on here!!
