The first thing I would say is Quilting is a hobby.... not a job. You need not clock in at a certain hour and not stop until whenever. However, quilting can be addictive and you ay choose to sew as long as you want! Secondly, be patient... frustration WILL come from time to time. When that occurs, the best thing you can do is quit and relax until you are calm again. Best of luck and Happy Quilting~
