I am very, very grateful for that talent! Isn't it great to create something that can delight others and yourself?
The number of stitches per inch depends a lot of the fabric, the batting and the quilting thread I use. In general I can do 14 stitches to the inch, only counted on the top of the quilt. I use a #11 John James or Roxanne and I use a 18" hoop on a floor stand.
