THWe are all new at some point. We all start somewhere.
If I were starting my quilting journey over again these are the 5 things I would make sure to do-
1- Invest in Quality Tools: A rotary cutter, self-healing cutting mat, and a clear acrylic ruler make accurate cutting so much easier—and accuracy is key in quilting.
2. Consistently use ¼” seam allowance, it keeps your blocks the right size. I use a 1/4” presser foot and it makes a huge difference.
3. Press, Don’t Iron: Pressing (lifting and setting the iron down) helps keep your blocks crisp and flat, while ironing (sliding the iron) can stretch or warp your fabric.
4. Mistakes part of the process: we all unpick seams. Don’t stress over perfection—each quilt is a learning experience.
5. Slow down & enjoy the process: It’s not just about the finished quilt. Enjoy choosing fabrics, sewing, learning new skills, and making something!
What would you add to this list? Let’s welcome & help the new quilters!!
