>but I don't have an HP printer mine is an Epson and everything I read
>says you need a HP and I am not going to buy one for that purpose, at

>old t-shirts he had while growing up but I know that is a project down
>the road because they would be easy to stretch and I am not up to par
>with my sewing skills for that.
>But for now I need to learn more about quilting like what kind of
>fabric to get for the back of the quilt, and if I just use 4" squares
>what do I get to separate them with, I know that has a name but not
>sure what it is and what kind of "binding" to put on around the quilt.
>I do know that I need these things and the batting too. What type of
>pressure foot to use, needle to use, thread to use, etc. I have a lot
>of reading and learning to do before I even get started.
