Lightweight interfacing is what the French ladies at my quilt group use; and the pieces for the Dear Jane are teensy weensy. Their work is meticulous, next time we have a DJ day I'll take some pics.

When all else fails, I think of my great grandmother - - my great grandfather was a boy during the Oklahoma land rush. She put quilts on the bed using her HANDS ... if our forebears could do it, we can do it ... one stitch at a time <g>
My mother was born in 1917 and grew up in rural Iowa. Evenings were spent hand sewing most of the family's clothes as well as making bed quilts. My mother always could do a beautiful little running stitch and hemming stitch.
