Don't give up! It took over a year of toying with just the idea of quilting. I began with a very easy Christmas quilt for my great-niece from a panel I purchased, plus picked out my own backing and batting, with help from store owner. It turned out beautifully, and I got going. In the past year, I've made over 4 (over, because I'm in the middle, but not completed 5) of my own projects, and I've found a wonderful website to order things. It's called KeepsakeQuilting.com
I don't have all the gizmos...just a singer machine, and still do a lot of my work on it. Can't afford an embroidery or quilting machine in the near future, so using what I have. A word from the wise, "Emprovise!"
