I'm going to be teaching my son's girlfriend to cut and piece a small quilt this week... she's never even touched a sewing machine before. I don't want to overwhelm her with tons of information all at once, but obviously she needs the basics... things many of us take for granted after a while.
If you were going to teach a complete newbie to cut and machine piece (we're going to hold off on actually quilting the sandwich for now!), what are some top tips you'd give? I'm hoping to make her a brief, introductory "top-ten" cheat-sheet with the wisdom of those who have been there.
Thanks!
