I googled "hand quilting, stab stitch" and found many sites.
I put my quilt on a small table, anchor it with a hunk of stainless steel and do a "running stitch". I use tiny little needles and use the gentle pull against the metal to keep things smooth. It's the way I started in the 70's and it works for me.
