There are home sewing machines offering a wide variety of stitch options and accessories that can make clothing construction very easy and pleasant. So, you want to learn how to quilt.
After selecting the buttons, you need to find a thread matching the garment. All of this can take hours and be very frustrating. When buying the fabric you must pay attention to its designs and determine if it has nap, this last concept is met if your fabric has a one way design, fuzzy texture and even or uneven plaid, for instance lets say that you get fabric which has dancing penguins printed in one direction, if you don't buy enough fabric you may end up cutting and sewing parts which don't fit with the rest of the design, for example some penguins will be facing right and others left.
When you open the envelope you will find a set of instructions which must be followed, if you don't understand a certain term you can also use the glossary which most of them have. It's important to learn this skill. You may find the use of quilting templates to be most beneficial in this instance; you can easily trace a design from the template right onto your fabric with a fine point fabric pen.
Learn to love sewing, and you will keep the sewing tradition alive for years to come. The joy I derived from sharing my handmade treasures was more than I could hope for.
