I took a class on Hawaiian quilting over 10 years ago and still have not finished the block I started. I was good with the cutting and reverse applique but when I got to the quilting I have struggled. I could never get the hoop the way I wanted and then just as I started to get a rhythm going and stitches were looking OK I had to move the hoop. Now I have hope and am going to go hopeless; I have never been able to use a thimble either.
