I will be following this thread. I have enjoy all kinds of handwork. Hand quilting is my next task to undertake. I have always used a large needle for my handwork so does this mean that I'll prefer a longer needle when quilting? I read where some started with larger needles then migrate to the smaller needles.
It would be very helpful if posters would include pictures of their items they use. There are many different kinds of thimbles etc. so having pictures would be greatly helpful. They could be pictures from store website even as that would very help knowing what to look for when purchasing for ourselves. Also when you hand quilt how did you prepare your quilt, what method? What frame or not do you use? If not, how to you hold the quilt in your lap? How long do you quilt at one time? If you hand quilt do you also machine quilt and explain why?
