    Your quilting is gorgeous!!! I take only 1 stitch at a time also and feel I have better control over the stitch length that way.

    Beautiful quilting. When I used to hand quilt in a round hoop I like to sit at the kitchen table in one of the kitchen chair and let the hoop rest on the edge of the table, that way I had both hands feet to do the needle work. I don't think any of my stitching was ever as good as you do. Your stitches are perfect.

    You must have tough fingers I can't hand sew without a leather thimble, my fingers get to sore and I poke my self all the time if I don't use one and even when I do I still do it. I have also poked my self under my finger nails, but we all do what works best for us you do beautiful work I think we all do hand quilting differently.
