Thank you for your reply. I'd love to try handquilting but my hands go numb so I've only done stitch-in-the-ditch and crosshatch quilting with a walking foot. So essentially, I'd probably still basically be fmq'ing with the feeddogs down, only slowly and carefully following the stencil lines... hopefully... :-D |

I use this cool tool for my arthritic hands,
my hands go numb, can't grip, etc. I bought one at Tractor Supply for $5, and at Harbor Freight for $2 that was smaller. I love it as it works great for pulling the needle through. Be sure and get the turned up needle nose with the spring loaded handles, it really saves your wrists and hands. needle nosed upturned w/spring load [ATTACH=CONFIG]262742[/ATTACH] |
