1. What is the best way to mark your quilt for quilting?
2. When choosing fabrics for a quilt what is best way to do it? Start with a focal fabric or border fabric first or choose the block colors and then find border fabric?
3. How do you make a quilt sleeve?
4. What types of rulers do quilters absolutely need?
5. What is the easiest way to do mitered corners on borders?

How to quilt as you go?
I always have to look up what the letters mean Make a list of them like a cookbook has subsatutions and equivilances on the inside covers.
I feel this would be a great addition to your book.
Best of luck!

1) How do I plan out a quilting area in my home?
2) Is there an easy way to measure what I need to buy?
3) What are 'quilter's essentials' to get started with a new hobby?
4) What kind of needle do I use and how often do I replace it (machine/handwork)?
5) When and where did quilting originate and evolve?
6) How do I fix a hole in a quilt?
7) How should I prepare fabric and avoid colors running in a finished quilt?
8) How can I fold/display/store quilts?
