Points are hard #2. 1/4 in seams are important #3sheets and flannel are hard to hand quilt. Umm I just did it. My Quilts have no missing points, are hand quilting and I have used all the things some say not to do. Lucky? Maybe
Not Lucky, you are doing something better that I would love to learn. Wonder if you are using better/stronger needles?
