Thanks ladies, I'm planning to make a carpenter star and want to hand quilt it. I won't be doing anything but stitch in the ditch. I guess for my first time that will be ok. Most of my quilt I send out to a friend but she only has one pattern for her longarm. it is just a over all loop, it looks nice but I don't think it would look to good on this quilt.
Do you use different kind of thread, I have seen spools of quilting thread at JoAnn's is that what you use? any speical kind of needle?
Thanks so much for your help. I'm looking forward to trying my hand at this. :D
