SO I have only to put the border on my DH's quilt, and then I can sandwich and start hand quilting. I bought the needle and thread and chalk and a pattern and the batting. SOOO excited and anxious. This will be my first attempt at hand quilting but I have done binding and small table runners by hand. Any tips before I get started.. what to do what not to do? Oh and I bought those little leather thingys to go on my fingertips so they dont bleed on my pretty quilt lol. :)
