I have finally finished my half inch hexie quilt top.
I've been trying to figure out how to quilt it. I tried a few different things...but decided the best (only?) solution was to hand quilt it. I had never hand quilted before.
I wish I had come here first and researched it. I know better!
I have gone about it the hard way for sure. I am using W&N. Combined with all the seam alowances, what a pain! Literally!
I have tried more than a half dozen thimbles, and many needles. $$
Many hours in, I'm considering tearing it out and changing the batting.
I'm going to order a plastic Thimblelady thimble.
The needle issue is still a little in the air. But, I am thinking, correct me if I'm wrong, changing the bat will change the feel of the needles going though the layers. But, I like a longer needle due to issues controlling little ones and am considering ordering some from the TL.
Do you think it would be worth changing the bat?
And, I have read good things about the TL needles, but I also read a comment on here that they are bendy...how bendy? I can flex my appliqué needles between my fingers. That bendy?
