I agree that quarter inch and quality fabrics are important, but I might back up and start with sewing machine basics like thread and tension and oiling and dusting out lint, unless you have experienced sewers already. At a recent quilt retreat, I gave one quilter a quilting needle to use on her machine quilting project instead of the universal needle, and she couldn't believe what a difference it made. So add needles to the list too.<br /><br />I was wondering if you had disappeared from the internet. glad to see you here. can you email me back so I can ask you question not about quilting?Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09029115839076216849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279282175595555144.post-56976085984965674402017-02-28T17:17:23.261+01:002017-02-28T17:17:23.261+01:00I like all the recommendations.

As I began quilting years before quilt shops and quilt tools, I would have liked to have begun with a class on the basics that had an emphasis on precision piecing (matching points, pressing, etc) vs just sewing pieces of fabric together and accepting it as is. Sloppy habits learned early are hard to change.<br /><br />QuiltShopGal<br />www.quiltshopgal.comQuiltShopGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165032142483696494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279282175595555144.post-32195766385767594402017-02-28T17:07:06.887+01:002017-02-28T17:07:06.887+01:00My first class was a year long (many years ago), c...My first class was a year long (many years ago), covering all the basics, while making a sampler quilt (size was a personal choice). For me the interest was in the fact that every block was different. I chose to make a double quilt (oh dear! :-), and yes, it took a long time, but the quilt has lived on my bed since and every time I look at it, I think "my first one, I made that, all by hand"; I am very proud of it, with all the mistakes of a first quilt :-)<br />xx Radkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04407639057505104281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279282175595555144.post-89618768643794222112017-02-28T16:41:53.499+01:002017-02-28T16:41:53.499+01:00I agree with you; finishing a project that can be ...I agree with you; finishing a project that can be used and loves is more important than learning dozens of blocks.

I loved quilting right off the bat and jumped in with both feet. Many of my first quilts have not hold up because I chose color and patterns with no regard for fabric quality. I agree with Sally, finishing that first project, no matter how simple, is what brings you the joy and desire to continue.happyallthetimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546705057981911177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279282175595555144.post-15783878681082618532017-02-28T15:36:42.209+01:002017-02-28T15:36:42.209+01:00My ideal first class would teach me the basics- qu...My ideal first class would teach me the basics- quarter inch stitch, pressing,etc. I might not include applique. I think the goal of the first class should be to complete a project in a reasonable time- and make sure it is something the student will love to make and use. My first class included 12 different blocks- two each week. Not fun. I am surprised that I continued to quilt after that experience. Too much, too fast. <br /><br />Sally MortensonSally in Saint Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12920245589456481621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279282175595555144.post-11770840438234770842017-01-04T16:49:03.844+01:002017-01-04T16:49:03.844+01:00These are so cute and clever!These are so cute and clever!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12464425603323257233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279282175595555144.post-9503065627702784812016-12-28T00:51:57.528+01:002016-12-28T00:51:57.528+01:00Glad to see you back!
