Wow, ladies, thankyou so much for taking the time to give me so much advice. First, I have to confess I didnt press the seems open :oops: I didnt realise it was important. I think, as I joined the peices by hand, most of the seems have turned out flat by chance. I have some batting, which is called Hobbs heirloom.I have hand quilted some smaller items using it and it seems well-behaved. I was grateful for the suggestion about one larger hexagon, which means I could quilt a larger area. Also, the idea of threading several needles and making that your goal for each sitting. I am presuming that I will need a hoop?
As I am brand new to this, can I ask 2 questions, am I supposed to do little running stiches or kind of stab the needle down and back up again? Should I be using any special needles?
Thankyou so much for taking the time to advise me :D
