Hello everyone, I sure appreciate all the comments, and the advice regarding the thread. I will take this advise, and when I get into town I will do some checking to find where to get some of them. My husband and I live 29 miles out of town in the mountains, and quilting keeps the cabin fever from setting in. Our first winter storm is due to hit tonight, so.... sure am glad I have a project ready to tackle.
Love to hear all the comments and find thoughts. And hints. I can always use hints. I do have a question to ask... what do you use as a finger protector on the left hand, when hand quilting? I find I have an index finger that looks like leather............yikes from being pierced so much... I went to the stationary supply store and got some of the rubber finger covers, and it works pretty well, but I would be interested in hearing how others solve this problem..
