I've just noticed that a lot of posters have been apologizing lately for asking such "simple" or "stupid" quilting questions. There's no such thing! Many of us are new, and even those who have been quilting for decades may have questions when trying a new technique or expanding his or her skills. Don't worry about it, just ask! No one is "stupid" because of his or her questions. I know that I've learned tons from reading other people's questions that I didn't even know to ask myself.
So what about it, let's stop putting ourselves down!

You make a great point: Quit putting yourself down by saying this!
I agree with you but it helps to let people know that you think you should be able to do something when you feel everyone else obviously has mastered it:) I have been messing around with sewing all my life and feel i should be further along. I know I'm not stupid and neither are my questions but it's a "stupid" habit I have of prefacing every question with "I got a stupid question."

Mattee, you are so right! I think some people think we are a bunch of experts and I sure as heck am not :)
Questions are always welcomed and never to be sorry for!
Wouldn't life be boring if we all knew everything??? hee hee
