If you go to Jinnybeyer.com and look for the section on Lessons and Tips you will see several videos plus lots of other helpful advice.
I learned a lot from her book, which I borrowed from my local library.

Under tips and lessons you can find all of Jinny's hand quilting videos + on her web site. go, take a good look at all she has to offer. And yes, she only quilts by hand. I attend her monthly Jinny Beyer Club where there is Show and Tell of many completed quilts of her design by members, also Jinny gives insight and answers many questions. People from all over the world come to her shop, some by the bus load! Its a destination stop in Great Falls, Va.

Years ago I used to make alot of quilts by hand stitching. I was a nanny to a little bit older kids and took my sewing everywhere. You would be amazed at how fast you can get. It made all those difficult blocks easy. I would quilt them on my sewing machine.
I now take care of really little kids who would get stabbed with a needle in my hand.

I learned from an elderly neighbor many years ago to to almost the same thing on a Y seam. I did not use a pin, and when doing the Y seam, she taught me to do a small back stitch before the Y and as the first stitch of the second piece after the Y as security, and to make sure you had no slippage while sewing the second seam. I hope this makes sense?
