Getting Started

Every Wednesday, a few girlfriends and I get together to do some crafting. Right now, I am teaching a good friend how to quilt. Quilting is a great way to get started with a sewing machine. If you are interested in starting quilting, here is what I recommend.

1. Start with something small! A baby quilt or small lap quilt is a good choice.

2. If you are unsure of fabric choices, consider getting a kit where all of the fabrics are chosen for you.

Here are a few kits you can find at Joann's Fabrics:

3. Choose a pattern that is made entirely of squares. (Squares are easy to cut and easy to sew, so great for a beginner).
