37 pieces of quilting advice in exactly three words each
A while ago, I shared a collection of three-word pieces of quilting advice as a carousel post in Instagram.
It was fun to think about quilting from that perspective for a change, considering everything that I feel is important – and condensing each thought into just three words. Below you see the original post.
Note the bonus piece of advice, originally from Angela Walters, the Midnight Quilter: it is so good that it deserved to be included – though it is six words long.
Here is the full list of all 37 pieces of advice, all in exactly three words:
Use your stash.
Pick gadgets carefully.
Invest in quality.
Avoid bias edges.
Avoid strict plans.
Write things down.
Never fudge seams.
Embrace seam ripping.
Appreciate your skills.
Ask for advice.
Guard your time.
Persist through challenges.
Decide with heart.
Design with eye.
Quilt every day.
Love your iron.
Accept imperfect results.
Believe in yourself.
Always stay curious.
Love your machine
Close your cutter.
Respect other quilters.
Try something new.
Contrast, contrast, contrast.
Use your quilts.
Set high prices.
Celebrate your successes.
Name your quiltworks.
Share your wisdom.
Befriend other quilters.

Improvise when necessary.

Bonus advice (in six words): Do not point out your mistakes.
