Never too late to teach an old dog new tricks

When I started quilting I thought since I had been sewing since about 12 or 13, that I knew all there was to know and quilting would be a cinch. Little did I realize that sewing clothes and such was a whole different story from quilt making. Believe it or not one of the most difficult things for me to learn was rotary cutting. The fabric kept shifting and I couldn't get the fabric to cut just right or lined up just right. I recently figured out that one thing I was doing wrong was I would line the fabric on the side without looking to see if I had lined it up also on the bottom so my fabric would be off the line on the bottom but straight on the side, still making it uneven. I was looking on line today for a book about borders. I always seem to do the same old boring borders, and found there is a place called about.com and when you go there, you can pick your subject, like I picked arts and crafts and then quilting and found a video on rotary cutting. I actually learned something about cutting that will help me. They also have othere topics on quilting. I love the on line videos. Also try Pinterest which I have heard is really interesting. It is a web site that is like a giant board of topics. Pick the topic you want and within that topic are thousands of ideas for you craft. .I am attempting to add a link to that video. If I dont suceed, I figure it out later. As always, keep quilting ladies and don't forget to send in pictures of your projects.
