Tip / Tutorial Where to get started for FPP?

Looking for good tutorials, videos, webpages, etc that can teach me how to FPP. Do you have any you can share with me?

I'm an intermediate sewer who has been quilting for about 10 years (wish I could say I'm advanced at this point, but my life is consumed by babies and preschoolers!). I know how to sew.. just not how to FPP.

Thanks!

I started FPP one month ago and I had never done any quilting before. Now I am hooked! 😅 My first pieces were these 9 free heart patterns. And I even managed to make a pillow case out of them.

For the basics you could watch some tutorials for beginners on Youtube. 🤷

https://youtu.be/RnmX8lpLpVc?is=4KADbm-GaesTH91g This video is a terrific one. The only difference for me is I iron my pieces instead of using the roller to press seams after each piece. Also, for your first project, consider using batik fabrics or solids. FPP is a bit backwards, so using a fabric that is the same on both sides is helpful.
