Jinny Byer (sp?) has a wonderful book on hand quilting. I have wanted it for some time, but I can't afford it right now.
YouTube has lots of videos on a wide variety of subjects. Maybe they have something on hand quilting too? Good luck! Let us know what you find out. I saw a recent Fons and Porter show that featured hand quilting with perle cotton thread. That was interesting to me. One of the tips on the show was to not pull the fabric too tight in the hoop. I have found this to be true. It's much easier to quilt if the fabric is a little loose. I like hand quilting because it's portable. I can do it anywhere. I also have more control over the fabric so I don't get puckers, tucks, and folds in the backing. I am trying to get better at machine quilting though.
