:) Feline, that is exactly what I thought after reading Happy Treadler's post! You speak right from my heart...
I think I have read amost every book about hand quilting available and there are as many ways doing this craft as hand quilters in our world! Try out what works best for you. You don't have to use a thimble if you can't get along with it. You don't have to put several stitches on your needle when you feel better doing single stitches. You don't have to quilt in every direction when it works better for you to keep just one. The result counts. Enjoy hand quilting and find your personal way to do it!
