FINALLY got all the supplies for hand quilting
#21
I am a professional longarm quilter and believe me that little tip about your own saliva (sounds better than spit LOL) removing a spot of my blood on fabric has saved me a number of times..when I'm loading and unloaded the quilt I often stick my fingers when pinning on the leaders..
It's a quick fix that really works!!

I love to hand quilt, I've been at it for over 20 years. I have only used metal thimbles and I too have gotten little blood spots that I use my spit to remove. come on ladies, It is readily available and so easy, you can always get some water later and go over it but I've never had anyone even know I did it. I love my oval hoop to do my quilting. just remember to start in the middle and work evenly around out to the edge.It is adictive.

One thing I would suggest is getting in the habit of loosening your frame at the end of the day. It lets the fabric relax, so you don't have hoop marks. I use a leather thimble on one hand, and a metal one on the other.
Nothing drapes as well as hand quilting, but machines are so quick.
