    What are some good tips using a rotary cutter? I just winged it when I first started. Is it better to have more fabric on left or right if right handed?

    Question: What is the difference in fabrics. The quilt stores seem to have a nicer, softer fabric then Walmart, but are much more expensive. What is best to use in a quilt?

    Why is there 1/4" seams & scant 1/4" seams. shouldn't it all be 1/4" seams.

    Need to know how to do the math on setting a regular block on point. How much fabric & size of triangle pieces for sides & corners.
