Try loosening the tension of your quilt in the frame; you don't have to be able to bounce a coin on the quilt. I allow enough ease to be able to push with my off hand underneath to create a dimple on top to put the stitches on the needle. I can usually do 4-6 on the needle at a time.

Andrea, your work is so fascinatingly beautiful. I don't know how you can quilt and not get a sore finger. I would love to learn, as thimbles never fit my fingers well. (any kind) I admire your work so much and I am so happy for you that you enjoy something you do so well. I am sure your entries will bring more recognition to you and your talent. Thank you for sharing and God bless you, my friend.

thank you for the pictures, I'm a visual person so I learn more from seeing. I'm not sure I have the patience to do single stitches, I've hand quilted for so long I would forget and do several stitches. I just sit and drool over your quilts.
