Really interesting and useful tips. A good starting point - I put together a list of quilting terms to keep on hand to look up on YouTube.

Read it over the weekend and gained some good tips. The book should really be titled, how to use your new cutting board and rotary cutter. Since that is exactly what I wanted to do, I was pleased. I have completed cut out my new bear's paw quilt. Unfortunately, I ran into trouble trying to assemble the first block...Had to to take everything apart and redo... Not the book's fault.

This book helped me learn basic quilting skills but I still had questions afterwards. My hands on quilting classes really helped me the most.
