Don't stress over it...it is just material. Take it one step at a time and you will learn from any mistakes you make and after 10 years, I am still making mistakes.....buy a good seam ripper just in case....LOL. Welcome to the group!!!

You'll also realize that quilting is exactly like life -- we learn a little bit more every day, that we're surrounded by good examples to follow and that we learn much more from our mistakes than our successes! Have fun and post pictures!

Hi there! Welcome from Spring, Texas
For a little easy instruction that you can follow step by step try the tutorial section here:
http://www.missouriquiltco.com/
No, I'm in no way affiliated, I just see that they have some very simple tutorials. You can do this. (Don't pull on the material - stretching is the biggest trouble maker.) Also, iron dry. Actually if you need some steam that's ok - just press straight up and down, no sliding - that's where the stretching starts.
Welcome to the QB Family. Glad you're here!
Hugs,
Gayle
