I have been quilting for almost eight years and for some reason I feel like I have been doing it all wrong. I hand quilt similar to if a person was hand sewing. I get like 5-6 stitches to a needle and they are all pretty and even and my quilts all look great I am told but I even bought a Roxanne thimble (I have tried many) and practiced but cant get the hang or just the feel of one. Does this make me a back quilter ? I do use those little thimble pads which feel awesome. I dont have a "quilter callus". I hold my needle between my thumb and the finger next too it.. I have been doing this wrong all these years??
I am self taught.
