My SIL`s had quilting party`s and we had sooo much fun hand quilting. Ofcourse I was the youngest and didn`t know how to do it. I think they took mu stiches out after I left and did it over. So I made an easy quilt, you know, sheets on top & bottom. and sewed around the print. By the time I was done, it looked O.K. but wanted to get better, and bought myself a "hand quilting needle" It was about 1" long, I couldn`t see the hole to thread it. Why was it so SMALL?
