sometimes when I can't figure something out I call my neighbor and just talking it out with another person really helps. A lot of the time I just have to vocalize the problem only to find out that the answer was already in my subconscious, just needed a little nudge!

If you cut the pieces for a quilt and don't start it right away, measure the pieces for the blocks when you begin to sew so you don't end up sewing the wrong edges together. A piece 4x41/4 often looks square if you look quickly but the blocks don't fit if you join the wrong edges!

I have learned that YES you need to put in a NEW sewing machine needle after 8 hours of sewing (or sooner).
I have learned that YES, good quality fabric really DOES matter.
I have learned that YES, it matters if I clean and maintain my sewing machine properly.
I have learned that YES, you need to seek out others who quilt. It really does make it much more fun. :)
