Wasn't perfect but I think I did a pretty good job keeping my stitches even and in the neighborhood of 8-10 per inch. I find hand quilting to be very relaxing and loved having the project to work on while watching tv or something to take with me when I was away from home. I hope someday I can put together some work that is as beautiful as yours :)
Hi, I don't use a big floor frame. I can't get much done and it takes up too much room. Instead, I assemble a couple rows at a time, hand quilt it and then attach the pieces together when all are quilted. its much easier and not so bulky on your lap untill you do the last row and the binding and that don't take that long. Notice the butterflies in rows of 2. Then I attach them.
