Thanks for the book! I stopped by a shop on my way home from work. I am going to be introduced to my sewing machine on Monday. I'm also going to be introduced to a rotary cutter on Saturday. I supposed I should buy some supplies. Can anyone suggest items a beginner should have? Can you also suggest the brand as well so I don't stare at a wall full of rotary cutters for an hour? I am known to obsess. lol. Thanks again!
