So glad you asked this question. I've done very little hand quilting to date, but plan to hand quilt a crib quilt for my nephew when he's born in February & have been wondering about that Thimble Lady quilt stand that has a post that goes between & then under your legs so you don't have to hold it at all. I've been thinking about ordering one so I'm definitely interested in all the feedback from other QB'ers to your question.
