My handquilting needles are tiny. I might let her use a larger one for her first try. Her quilt is purple and white, so I found some purple embroidery floss. She's excited and knows, although this "thread" is way bigger than mommy's, she will still be quilting.
Good idea. If she has the mindset to hand quilt, she must realize the time it takes. I like the floss idea.
