I just finished an applique class, working on my very first project...a small quilt, more like a wall hanging....easier to practice on...my forefinger and middle finger are actually numb on the very tip from stabbing it sooooo many times. OUCH! ! !..I'm going to go look at borntohandquilt's work now. I'm wondering if she'll let me pitch a tent in her back yard until a neighbors house comes available, lololololol, JK..

If you have seen any of borntohandquilt quilting it is amazing. She only does one stitch at a time. I am doing much better with the one stitch method. It is trial and error until you get what works for you:)
