Maybe we're defining rocking differently, but I watched your tutorial, and you do "rock" (maybe that's not the right word)-- i.e., your needle goes down through the fabric from the top, then back up again in the same motion. (as opposed to stabbing all the way down, and then bringing the needle and thread back up in a separate motion with the second hand).
I took my quilt off the hoop and it's easier. My # of stitches is increasing, and it definitely improves when I'm not going through a seam allowance.
Does the batting packaging indicate if its batting has scrim or not?
Thanks for all the great responses.
