I am a very amateur, self-taught quilter. I am getting ready for a new machine. I am looking for recommendations on what to look for, what extras to get and/or avoid, or specific machine recommendations.

Just got through with my first "shop Hop". a friend and I went to five stores in the Las Vegas area. What a blast. We could see the same people from store to store and had so much fun sharing a "girls day" (something I have not done in a long time). I spent so much money but got a great idea to make a Las Vegas quilt as a memobelia for when we go back to Texas in a few years. I am so ready to do this again....

June Tailored made a square in a square cutting tool that is perfect for fussy cutting anything, but exspecially fussy cutting material where the pattern is close together. The center square has little notches at each corner that stops your rotory cutter from going past the corner of your square. This eliminates those extra quarter inch slices at the corners of the material preventing you to get that picture that is right next to the one you just cut because to went a little to far. This tool comes in three different sizes a 12 1/2 outer 6 1/2 inner, 8 1/2 outer 4 1/2 inner, and the one I use the most a 6 1/2 outer square and 3 1/2 inch inner square.

I have an antique wooden drying rack that I discoverd is quite handy for displaying my cut out pieces for the quilt I am working on. Larger pieces work the best like binding etc. I have a picture if I can figure out how to add it to this tip.

I've made sooooooooo many mistakes, but learning from every 1, lol !! Just starting to put my 9 squares, along w/ the sashing together !!! Took FOREVER to figure it out, but when I bought the sashing, it all fell into place, lol !! Have over 10 squares left over & didn't buy enough material for the sashing to include the border. Hope I can match it !!

Any one interested in a block exchange? I led one several years ago and enjoyed meeting new quilters as well as receiving some great quilt blocks.
If any interest, I will be happy to host.

I used crayons on unwashed canvas, ironed over it using paper towels then put Jeans thread in my machine and free motioned all over it. Gosh was it fun. Did not have to use a stabilizer at all. Just wanted to share my idea while the book is still new in my head.

I am relatively new at this also. I used to sew years ago, but am not good enough to make clothes. I can sew a straight line so I decided to make quilts. I am having a ball. I started by finding free patterns on the internet. I also subscribed to a couple of quilting newsletters. But a lot of my learning has been from making the mistakes. There is a wonderful woman at my local JoAnn Fabrics that has helped me also. Good luck and happy sewing

If you can't find a quilt design or not one that you like, you can use coloring books to trace pictures and applique ( not sure about copyright laws on this, but might be alright since you are not selling it for profit) or use winnie the pooh prints and a pieced block design. Also as someone else suggested there are panels out there with a large design and you can add coordinating borders which would make it quick and easy.

Does anybody know a little history of this quilting stitch? I'm wondering when it was first used.
