Like everyone else that has posted, I think you have accomplished so much with your first hand quilting. I would be very HAPPY. I took a class - never knew anyone could "stab" and I did terrible--she was not pleased with my quilting; I was not pleased either or with my poor finger--not real successful with a spoon or thimble. The back was so BAD. I was lucky to catch all three layers every four or five stitches. I have never tried this again. I would like to try the "stab method." I don't think I will be a "Rocker."
