how do you count stitches per inch for hand quilters
When hand quilting what is the standard way to count the stitches per inch? Is it the ones with thread visible from the top or those and the spaces (stitches below)? When people ask, I always wonder which they are refering to. When I sold antique quilts online I always just mentioned that I counted top stitches only just to be precise. I am interested in how the members view this.
