Hand quilting in a hoop
A friend of mine has a quilt top her grandma made in the 20s or 30s. We discussed ways that this could be quilted. She likes to hand sew but not machine sew. Can you hand quilt a king size quilt a little at a time in a big hoop? I thought I would help her baste the layers together by machine with thread that comes out in the wash.
What is the easiest batting to use for hand quilting? Could we put the batting in using three pieces to make it less bulky as she quilts? Best thread?
Any suggestions on how to quilt this quilt? I thought just echoing the hexes as the piecing is the star of this quilt.
Thanks. She's interested to hear what the board says.
