Quilting is one of America’s most treasured hobbies and continues to be enjoyed by millions in our great country. When I first got started, I aspired to make beautiful quilts for my family and friends especially my children. But without any guidance, it took me a while to get the hang of quilting and start achieving my goals. If you want to get started on quilting but not sure where to start, I have laid out some key starter points to get you on the right path of your journey.
When you are first starting out on sewing, make sure to keep your first project small and manageable. Even projects on a smaller scale such as a cot quilt can be daunting and that is understandable. Try a test run on the patch to get the feel of sewing and there won’t be any pressure to avoid mistakes.
In addition, don’t try to outdo yourself and go for an elaborate design. KISS – keep it simple stupid! Your first project is all about getting your feet wet and there is no need to go fancy. What are the easiest designs you can begin with? Think straight lines and squares. Simple enough, right?
