What's Your Favorite Quilting Tip?

I'm getting ready to publish a Quilting Tip of the Day newsletter. I have lots of tips ready to go for the newsletter's introduction, but I know you can add to the batch. What's your favorite quilt making tip? Will you share it with us? It can be a short, quick tip -- and don't assume that everyone already knows about it, because our quilting community includes people who haven't made their first quilt. They're here to read about quilting before they get started -- your tips can be a tremendous help when they begin cutting and sewing.

Use this form to email your tips. It should include your first and last names and your email address, but they will not be published. You can use your real name or a nickname for the tip credit. If you're a Forum member, you might opt to use your Forum ID by itself, or along with your real name.

I'm looking forward to hearing your tips!
