Welcome Yvonne, I am new to the site and even newer to joing forums but I will say this. You will learn something. I have learned something new just about each time I log on. If you have a question throw it out there and these wonderful ladies will help or direct you to the right place. I joined the mystery quilt group and I am having fun!!!

Hi Yvonne! Welcome! Don't worry, you'll learn very quickly, I'll bet within the first week. When I joined, I knew nothing about how to use my machine either. The thing is, this site is so great and quilting is soooo much fun, you'll be so proud of yourself that you'll learn very fast! Just be patient with yourself and if you're unsure of anything either ask your friend Betty or come to one of the forums and ask away! These people are great and as they tell me all the time, "There are no silly questions". Have fun!

Welcome Yvonne!

Im a newbie too. I understand! I'm still figuring out how to do these 1/4" seams that are so important!

But I've made a few small quilts & it does get easier. I used to hand quilt & while it was no where near so picky, it was no where near so much fun either.

Friends & this group are both REALLY helpful! There's a LOT of good people here!

Have in!

Hi Gini,I have started a quilt top. I am still learning how to use my sewing machine.Just putting the thread on was a big deal=let alone that bobbin thing ! I have some squares sewn together. I had to buy a little gadget to rip out seams. I wish those seams did not have to match up. Yvonne

yes, bobbins are a pain, and so are the little seam ripping gadgets, i have several of those, i've worn a few out, too. who told you your seams have to match up, it's your quilt. if you want unmatching seams, i say go for it.

Hi Barbara, Thanks for the encouragement. I am looking forward to seeing everyones quilts.I now appreciate all the hard work that you all do. If I ever finish my first quilt , I will have over $2000.00 in it. I bought a new sewing machine, cutting table,light,8 different size rulers and little square gadgets of different sizes to measure so I can cut straight. It does not help much since I can not sew a straight line yet. Yvonne

Hi Melissa, I have started a quilt top. I am so slow.I had to buy a sewing machine and learn how to use it. Sewing a straight line is difficult . My friend Betty Tolliver helps me , she is a member and thought I could learn a lot by joining.She posts pictures of her quilt. I will be looking for your pictures. Yvonne
