Wow! What a big friendly welcome. Thank you. Those are good points about the reliability of tutorials, and thanks for the advice on good websites and classes. Do you normally take your own machine to a class? At the moment, I need to make a couple of pillowcases and mend a skirt ( already had excellent advice on that one). I would really like to be able to alter clothes though, starting simply of course. I do kind of hanker after a beautiful quilt, but doubt that I’ve got the patience, so I’ll leave that one for a bit I think.
