Quilting Tips: Once you learn to not have a death grip on your machine and you learn to breathe as you quilt, you will relax and start having fun. Your customers will love your curls and swirls. It will only take you a few quilts to get the swing of it and you’ll be dancing with your new Gammill. Email me if you have any questions about how to get started in your business (jwquilts@yahoo.com). Good luck, and remember, smile, you will get it.
