Fast forward to the 21st century where most people's clothing, home decor items, and gifts are purchased at the local mall or department store. By learning to sew, anyone can customize their wardrobe as well as those special items around the house; and just like many people who know how to sew can tell us, sewing your own clothing and other items can be significantly less expensive compared to buying them in stores.
You will meet other potential quilters and can create friendships based on your new interest. If possible, try a machine out before you buy and make sure you are comfortable with it. Heavy duty sewing machines are designed to work with all type of fabrics ranging from lightweight fabrics such as chiffon and silk to heavyweight fabrics such as duck, denim, and canvas.
This is always the first step, do not rush and try to take on the project if you haven't read the instructions, this never bears good results. There really is a lot to learn when it comes to quilting but if you have an interest and some free time to learn then you will have no problem learning all there is to know and becoming a wonderful quilter. Try looking into area recreation centers or even local colleges that offer mini courses.
And who knows, maybe after you discover the joys of sewing, you will decide to move forward and open a small sewing business to create and sew unique pieces of clothing. Get some hands on experience.
