Heather Thomas is by far my favorite instructor. These answers were all extremely helpful. Heather, please show us your kitty on the next session. :-)

I am using a polyester fusible batting on a wall hanging project & my stitches are nesting & missing on my backing, is this the type of batting I am using? I usually use a cotton batting. Thank you for you advice, sandra Bergey
when I give a quilt as a gift they ask if they need to dry clean it or can they wash it. I always prewash my material....but which is the best way for them to maintain the beauty of the quilt?
How many stitches to the inch when free motion quilting?
Why is polyester batting bad?
Do you ever use the binding you can buy in a package...that is the binding that is already folded and in a package various colors and about 3 yards long
Hello! Do you ever get 'quilter's block'? If you do, how do you get out of the slump? Do your quilts talk to you when it comes to the quilting?
I absolutely LOVE your program. Even at my "advanced age", I still learn so much from you. Thank you so much for all your help. I am rather new with quilting, and find every one having a diffrent opinion. Find it hard to know who to go with.. so I thought you would be the best to ask my problem. So many say they "always" starch their fabric before sewing, and some others say "never" They say bugs will be drawn to it. advice please?
If a quilt has multi colors in the blocks, how can you sew in the ditch without the stitches showing in the off colored fabric?
