I think the batting and thread make all the difference. I have tried to do it a couple times, but felt totally frustrated. I was using warm and natural batting and regular thread. I never got past a few stiches and then gave up. This time (after reading things on the board) I used a "puffy" batting and actual hand quilting thread (its kinda thick and stiff). Works MUCH better.
