I have been practicing for over an hour and watched the video again just to be sure I'm doing it right, or at least trying to do it right. But the positioning feels awkward and my hands are feeling tired. I must be doing something wrong. I love the thimble when the quilt is tight, but I can't seem to keep the needle pushed against the side of the thimble... it keeps slipping free. When I do manage to make several stitches, they are larger than my usual. Maybe I just need to keep practicing.
Is anybody else having good luck... or not such good luck? I really want this to work. It seems like my needles wouldn't get so bent up with this technique.
