Hand quilting takes me SO long though...I don't know if I will continue to do it this way, or do raw edge.
Well, the problem was that in the store I couldn't get a perfect thread match; that may be part of the problem. For as many hand beaded wedding gowns and hand sewed hems, you would think I could get better faster. The part the you see finished in the picture took me over 2 hours last night. I will keep trying, thanks.
